Set up cart threshold discounts and notify customers

With discounts in Sunshine Photo Cart, you can set lots of configuration options on when to apply a discount. One way to get larger order totals is to offer a discount to customers when they reach a certain amount in their cart. For example, “Save $5 on orders over $100”. Combining the minimum order amount and auto apply features of discount codes makes this type of discount easy to setup, see below:

This article assumes and recommends using a discount type of “Amount off order”

The code snippet below will show a notice to your customers until they get their cart total to $100 or above. Be sure to customize the values for the discount threshold and amount to match your offering.

add_action( 'sunshine_before_content', 'sunshine_discount_notice', 1 );
function sunshine_discount_notice() {

	$discount_threshold = 100;
	$discount_amount = 5;

	$cart_subtotal = SPC()->cart->get_subtotal();
	if ( $cart_subtotal < $discount_threshold ) {
		$difference = $discount_threshold - $cart_subtotal;
		SPC()->notices->add( sprintf( __( 'Add %s more to cart to save %s', 'sunshine-photo-cart' ), sunshine_price( $difference ), sunshine_price( $discount_amount ) ) );
	}

}
