Custom Pricing is designed to create price points for different types of customers (wholesale, trade, VIP and more). A customization can be done for stores that require their customers, with a specific tag, to reach a predefined cart value before checking out.

Note: This will not work with an Ajax theme (also known as a "slide","drawer", or "pop-out" cart).

To install this customization on your site, please follow these steps:

1. From Shopify's admin, select Online Store.

   

2. Select Actions.

   

3. Select Edit code.

   

4. Under "Templates", select cart.liquid.

   Note: If your theme contains sections, this may be found under "sections" in cart-template.liquid instead.

   

5. Find the Checkout button, the code will be similar to this:

   <input id="checkout" name="checkout" type="submit" value="Check Out" />

   

6. Copy and paste this code immediately above the line:

   {% if cart.total_price >= ### %}
   {% if customer.tags contains 'wholesale' %}

   Note: Replace "wholesale" with the tag required. Replace ### with the minimum cart value, without decimals (ie. $150.00 is entered as 15000).

   

7. Immediately below the input statement from Step 5, copy and paste:

   {% else %}
   You need to spend $150 to check out.
   {% endif %}
   {% else %}
   *****
   {% endif %}

   Note: You can replace "You need to spend $150 to check out." with the text you want to display here. Replace the ***** with the input statement from step 5.

   The final code should look like this:

   {% if customer.tags contains 'wholesale' %}
   {% if cart.total_price >= 15000 %}
   <input id="checkout" name="checkout" type="submit" value="Check Out" />
   {% else %}
   You need to spend $150 to check out.
   {% endif %}
   {% else %}
   <input id="checkout" name="checkout" type="submit" value="Check Out" />
   {% endif %}

   

8. Select Save.

   

That's it!
