exempt some products from the store minimum

[beefbuilder]

We ship both perishable and non-perishable items from our store. The perishable items require a minimum size order to cover extra packaging costs. We have some non-perishable items that can ship very cheaply, and we want those to not be subject to the minimum order requirement. How can we do this?

There isn't an option for this with the ShopSite minimum order functionality, but you could disable that and implement your own via custom JavaScript on the shopping cart or checkout page. The JavaScript would need to distinguish between the perishable/non-perishable products in order to allow/disallow the order to proceed, either by something in the product name/SKU, or one of the extra product fields. I'm assuming this is a Pro store.

Documentation for JavaScript variables available to a custom programmer on the shopping cart and checkout screens is here:
