Hi,
1) It'll apply min/max restriction to both regular and wholesale at this stage.
2) Cannot apply to the price value but the workaround is to equate the value to the price restriction.
For example if there's a cap of $500 and the product sells for $2 each then set the mix unit to "250".
250units x $2 = $500 restriction cap
Hope this helps!

Yeah, that will not work because the wholesale product pricing can vary, they're not set to a fixed price.
It wouldn't help to restrict max and min for both types of buyers, it's just not logical.
But at this stage I think the best thing to do is to duplicate products.
But thank you for the clarification.

3. Re: Wholesaler Question
Ok we have done what you've said above with separate wholesale products to enforce minimum quantity orders on wholesale products by wholesalers with access to the secure products and catalogs.
But is there a way to enforce a $200 total minimum order spend across these catalogs? So wholesalers can only order if they spend $200 or more in a transaction.
Any ideas?

4. Re: Wholesaler Question
No, you can't set minimum order based on amount unfortunately, you have to set it up based on Qty, however, I think I saw somewhere some Javascript implementation where you force the checkout to not submit and returns error if the Total Amount is under a certain number. But I guess "if this is possible - which it is technically" it will affect the checkout for consumers as well, which makes it redundant in the end.
I hope if someone can confirm this, I just don't remember where I saw it.
From the other hand,if it's not possible, I suggest to you to sell it to your client that it is not possible at this stage and there will be work on it soon.
What I did is told the client that we never did it because it's a bad Marketing approach - Which it is logically - but there is more demand on this feature so we will include it in the coming upgrades.

5. Re: Wholesaler Question
I have worked out another possible workaround although it is currently not that elegant.
I've ste a minimum $200 amount on all the shipping options available to wholesalers when they are logged in.If the order is under $200 there is no shipping options available and they cannot checkout.
I'm thinking we can put a message that only shows to logged in customers that says something about the minimum order being $200 so the there is some indication of the reason why they can't checkout.. not ideal but at least they won't be able to finalise a purchase without the minimum spend being met.

Just realised the flaw in this plan - it applies NO shipping and still lets them check out.
I will have to try something else.

7. Re: Wholesaler Question
I am trying to do something similar.
My client wants to enforce a minimum quantity for wholesalers on specific items. They also want a min total order value for wholesalers.
My issue is that they want sandard pricing for wholesalers for each item until the minimum quantity is reached, then reduce the unit price to the wholesaler price. "Merchandise is subject to minimum quantities of each sku in order to receive wholesale pricing." Is this possible?
If so, it should force a wholesaler to pay full price until they reach a predefined minimum quantity at which point the wholesaler pricing kicks in.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
You'd have to do all the limiting with JavaScript by checking the values and then popping the messages advising the customer of the limitations and disabling the action buttons. There's nothing out of the box that will do this for you.
Cheers,
