Checkout Blocks / Availability expansion

Checkout Blocks "Order value limits" is now
available on all plans

Previously limited to certain plans, checkout restrictions based on "minimum/maximum order subtotal" are now available on Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus. Part of the broader move to bring B2B features to non-Plus plans.

1What's actually changing

Checkout Blocks' "Order value limits" — a feature that enforces minimum/maximum thresholds on order subtotals at checkout — is now
available on all plans: Basic, Grow, Advanced, and Plus. More merchants than before can now set minimum and maximum order values.

Before: availability was limited

As the post notes "more merchants can now configure this," availability was previously limited to certain plans (the specific prior scope is not stated in the post).

Now: available on all 4 plans

Set "minimum only," "maximum only," or "both" on Basic / Grow / Advanced / Plus to restrict order values at checkout.

2How it works: controlling checkout with subtotal min/max

Cart Subtotal Order value is determined Checkout Blocks Order value limits Min ≤ subtotal Subtotal ≤ max Within range Proceed to purchase Out of range Blocked at checkout Order confirmed
Controls apply as stated in the post "order subtotal". You can set a minimum only, a maximum only, or both, and orders outside the threshold arerestricted (enforced) at checkout.

4What the article states and what it does not

ItemWhat the article says
Feature Order value limits in Checkout Blocks
What is controlled Minimum/maximum of the order subtotal
Configuration units Minimum Maximum minimum and/or maximum (either or both)
Enforcement point In checkout
Eligible plans Basic / Grow / Advanced / Plus
Type of change Changed Apps
Previously eligible plans Not stated(only implies an expansion via the phrase "more merchants")
Handling of amount thresholds, currency, tax, and shipping Not stated(only that it is subtotal-based)
Pricing / additional costs Not stated

5Background: rollout of B2B features beyond Plus

The article describes this change as "A continuation of the trend of extending core B2B features to select non-Plus plans,"is how it's framed.
Minimum and maximum order values are commonly used in wholesale/B2B operations, so it's easiest to read this as opening that entry point to plans beyond Plus.
Context

Phased rollout of B2B features

B2B features that have been Plus-centric are being extended to selected non-Plus plans. This is one example.

This change

Order value limits coming to all plans

Minimum and maximum order value controls — used in both wholesale and general retail — are now available on Basic through Plus.

Caveat

Other B2B features are separate

This article does not list which other B2B features have come to non-Plus plans. You'll need to check those individually.

65 key points for developers

1. This changes the "availability scope," not the feature spec

What the article announces is a relaxation of plan restrictions. It does not say the behavior of Order value limits itself has changed. The behavior on existing Plus stores can be read as unchanged.

subtotal

2. The check is based on the subtotal

Whether it's the post-discount subtotal or includes taxes and shipping is not stated in the article. For projects with strict amount thresholds, always verify on a live store what value is actually used for the check.

MIN MAX

3. Minimum and maximum can be set independently

Since it's "minimum and/or maximum," you can configure "minimum only," "maximum only," or "both." The minimum order amount and a high-value guard can be used independently for different purposes.

4. The enforcement point is checkout

The limits are enforced in checkout (enforce in checkout). Behavior at the cart stage and the relationship with other control points such as themes or Functions is not stated in the article.

5. Category is Changed / Apps = an app-side update

This is a change to Checkout Blocks,an app(Apps). Adoption requires the use of Checkout Blocks, and no implementation changes to themes or custom code are needed. It's the kind of update where you can operate it simply by placing the block and configuring the amounts.

73 practical use cases

Minimum order ¥ MIN
USE CASE 1

Enforce a "minimum order amount" on non-Plus wholesale/B2B stores

Problem
You run wholesale or small-lot B2B on Basic / Grow / Advanced, but small orders below the minimum order amount slip in, making shipping costs unprofitable.
Approach
Use the Order value limits in Checkout Blocks to set aminimumand stop orders below the threshold at checkout.
Result
You can now enforce the minimum order rule on non-Plus that previously required Plus, reducing low-margin orders.
Technical note
The check is subtotal-based. Behavior when a discount coupon brings the total below the minimum needs to be verified on a live store.
Maximum guard ¥ MAX
USE CASE 2

Cap high-value orders to reduce fraud and credit risk

Problem
Resellers and abuse can push a single order to an unusually high amount, causing payment issues, stock depletion, and manual review overhead.
Solution
maximumto block orders above the threshold at checkout, routing high-value requests to a separate channel (quote or sales follow-up).
Impact
Automatically blocks abnormally large orders, lowering fraud, credit risk, and operational load.
Technical notes
Setting only the upper limit is valid (the minimum can be left unset). Always test purchase behavior at the boundary values.
NG OK
USE CASE 3

Centralize campaign minimums (free-shipping thresholds, etc.) without adding apps

Problem
Minimum-amount rules like "free shipping / perks at ¥X or more" were built per-campaign with dedicated apps or custom code, scattering maintenance.
Solution
Use the minimum setting of Order value limits as a shared checkout control and consolidate amount-based rules within Checkout Blocks.
Impact
Manage amount thresholds with zero implementation work; per-campaign value changes are completed by configuration alone.
Technical notes
This feature's role is "blocking orders that don't meet the minimum," not "granting perks." Perk logic itself still needs to be built separately. This article covers order amount restrictions only.
