A minimum order value is one way to ensure the order size is large enough to be profitable. For example:

• Your customers expect free shipping on every order. On average, you calculate your business loses money when shipping orders smaller than $30. Instead of removing free shipping, you can set a minimum order value of $30.
• Businesses that sell wholesale typically have a minimum quantity of products per order. Instead of having a different minimum quantity for each product, you may be able to calculate one minimum price for all products on average.

By default, Lightspeed eCom sets the minimum order amount to $0 to make sure there is no barrier to purchases from your customers. Before setting a minimum order value, do research to ensure your conversion isn't negatively affected.
