# Minimum Order Spend

Added a configurable minimum order spend validation for the cart, managed via Shopping Experience -> Cart settings in the backoffice.

**How it benefits the Merchant**

This lets merchants enforce a minimum cart value, helping protect margins on low-value orders

Where shipping and handling costs might otherwise outweigh the sale

**Potential FAQs**

Q: Where do I configure the minimum order spend?\
A: In the backoffice under Shopping Experience -> Cart settings.

Q: Is a minimum order spend enabled by default?\
A: No — it's a configurable validation, so you need to set a minimum amount for it to apply.
