If the website does in fact decide that a "minimum order" must be esablished, then you must likewise structure your transactional Policy (if using PayPal) by so configuring the code for the Buy Buttons, as I explained above. Simply create a "minimum package" to total the amount you have set as a threshold purchase for your website (5 packs of stickers instead of 1 for a set price). All or nothing.....which is the principle I alluded to as part of the core marketing strategy of your website: how pricing structures skew the overall marketability of a website according to the conversion, and eventual ROI. Many have overcome this dilemma buy offering "packaged" assortments, for example, or a pack of multiples within a theme. The solution may be just a matter of your ability as a creative merchant to serve the "desires of the consumer" moreso than you own. Technically (the topic of this thread) the solution has been mentioned now a few times.....the "style" of that solution is not worth getting into for me....

Other eCommerce solutions (like Soholaunch and OSC) have a means to add an abstract "Handling Charge" for items/total cart purchases below a set amount, and some merely work it into a "Shipping" cost.....however you do it, it is up to you.

The posture of stating that 'Minimum Pruchases' is something of a standard practice is something I take issue with, however, and am sure that another of my recent posts elsewhere prove this not to be the case.
