Restrict Checkout Lite for WooCommerce
Restrict Checkout Lite for WooCommerce
Description
Restrict Checkout Lite for WooCommerce lets you stop customers from completing checkout when the cart doesn’t meet your store’s minimum or maximum order requirements. Configure rules around the number of items in the cart or the cart total, and the plugin will block checkout with the message you choose.
The Lite plugin is built for the most common use case: enforcing minimum order quantities, maximum order quantities, minimum cart totals, and maximum cart totals — without configuring anything complicated. It works on both the classic WooCommerce checkout and the new Cart & Checkout Blocks, and it is fully compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Key features
- Restrict checkout by cart item quantity (greater than, less than, equal to).
- Restrict checkout by cart total (greater than, less than, equal to).
- Set a custom restriction message per rule, shown to the customer when checkout is blocked.
- Up to 3 active rules — combine quantity and total rules to cover minimum and maximum order scenarios.
- Compatible with the WooCommerce Cart & Checkout Blocks.
- Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
- No tracking, no calls home, no account required.
Need more advanced rules?
The Pro version of Restrict Checkout adds unlimited rules plus restrictions by product, product category, country / state / ZIP, customer or user role, purchase history (order amount, order quantity, new buyers), and priority-based rule ordering.
