Allow Free Orders, but also a minimum of $x IF NOT FREE?

Hi guys, is there a way to manage this scenario?

We wish to allow free orders, but if it's a paid order, we want a minimum of say $5.

 

Thanks!

For one store, I developed a module that enforced a minimum order amount for a customer's first order (based on checking their email address). If it wasn't their first order, there were no restrictions. Using the same hook, it should be possible to achieve the effect you're looking for. So if you don't find a ready-made solution that fits your needs, I'd be happy to develop something like this for you.

Thanks! That would be great, I'll PM you shortly if I don't find something. 

PS, thanks for your tidy module! It's brilliant!

In the meantime please let me know what exactly do you mean by a "free order". Do you have products priced at 0? Or maybe a code that when entered by the customer, gives him a 100% discount?

We have some products that are free - £0.00. They are also virtual, so no postage costs or card processing fees. We want to allow people to order these, but if they have to make a payment, have a minimum value of the order of lets say £5.00. 

 

Setting minimum basket total to £5.00 works for the minimum order, but won't allow a 'free' one.

thanks
