How to add a minimum order value validation message?

You will create a validation message that prevents customers from checking out until their cart meets your minimum order requirements.

Minimum order validation prevents unprofitable orders by requiring customers to meet your spend threshold before checkout. This feature reduces delivery costs, improves order economics, and ensures sustainable service levels across all fulfillment methods.

Configure Minimum Order Validation

Step 1: Access Delivery Settings

1. Navigate to Bird App Settings
2. Select Pickup & Delivery / Configure Locations
3. Choose your target location (if using multiple locations)

Step 2: Select Delivery Method

1. Choose your delivery method
2. Click Edit Settings

Step 3: Set Minimum Order Value

1. Locate the Minimum Order Value field
2. Enter your required minimum amount (in your store's base currency, decimals allowed)
3. Save your settings

Configuration complete. Your minimum order validation is now active for this delivery method.

Important Configuration Notes

Configure each delivery method independently to optimize profitability across all fulfillment options:

• Local delivery
• Store pickup
• Shipping

Checkout is blocked until customers meet your minimum order threshold, ensuring every transaction supports your business goals.

Customer Experience

Customers receive clear guidance when their cart falls below your minimum threshold, encouraging them to add products rather than abandoning their purchase.
