How to Show a Minimum Purchase Alert on the Cart Page

The Minimum purchase alert on the Cart Page helps customers see how close they are to qualifying for a discount. When paired with a coupon that includes a Minimum Spend or Minimum Quantity requirement, this feature helps increase average cart value and reduce confusion at checkout.

What Is the Minimum Purchase Alert?

The Minimum purchase alert appears automatically on the Cart Page when a coupon includes a Minimum Spend or Minimum Quantity condition. It displays a message showing how much more is needed to qualify, or confirms when the requirement is met.

Merchants who want to provide an even clearer experience for customers can enable the alert's Progress bar, which visually shows how close shoppers are to meeting the requirement in real time. This optional feature helps encourage larger cart sizes and makes the discount more engaging.

How to Enable the Cart Page Alert

To show the alert on the cart page:

Go to Settings
Click on Cart Page
In the Minimum purchase alert card, enable Show purchase requirement alert

Setting Up Minimum Spend or Quantity Requirements for Coupons

To trigger the Cart Page Alert, your coupon must include either a Minimum Spend or a Minimum Quantity requirement. You can only select one condition per coupon.

1. Create or Edit a Coupon

Open the Klip Dashboard
Create a new coupon or click to edit an existing one

2. Open the Eligibility Section

Scroll to the Eligibility & targeting section
Look for the Eligibility Settings

3. Choose a Minimum Requirement Type

You will see three options displayed as selector buttons:

No minimum requirement
Minimum purchase amount ($)
Minimum quantity of items

Choose either Minimum purchase amount or Minimum quantity of items

4. Set the Requirement Value

Once you’ve selected a condition, an input field will appear right below:

For Minimum purchase amount, enter the cart total required (e.g. $50)
For Minimum quantity, enter the number of items required (e.g. 3)

Choose a value that fits your promotion goal — whether it’s increasing the order value or encouraging larger product bundles.

5. Apply the Condition to the Cart or Selected Products

After entering the value, you’ll choose how the condition is applied:

Entire Cart – Applies the requirement across the whole cart
Selected Products – Applies only to specific items that you define

6. Customize the Minimum Purchase Alert (Optional)

You can personalize the alert that appears on the cart page to keep your brand consistent and guide customers toward meeting the coupon conditions.

How to Access the Alert Settings

There are two ways to access the Minimum purchase alert customization panel:

In the coupon editor, click Coupon design, the step next to Eligibility & targeting at the top
Click Minimum purchase alert in the Customize style list

Option 2: From Within the Coupon Flow (When a Minimum is Set)

After selecting a minimum requirement (Spend or Quantity), the Coupon Design section will appear directly underneath
Click it to expand the customization settings for the alert

What You Can Customize

Progress Text – Shown when the customer hasn’t yet met the condition (e.g. “Spend $10 more to unlock your discount”)
Success Text – Displayed once the requirement is fulfilled (e.g. “You’ve unlocked the coupon!”)
Styling Options – Set a color for each text, the Font size and Text style, and the Container's padding, border radius, background color and border style to match your store’s branding

Progress Bar

Show Progress Bar: Enable a visual indicator to show remaining minimum purchase requirements.
Background Color: Set the background color of the progress bar container.
Progress Bar Fill Color: Choose the color for the filled portion.
Container (its own section, below Progress bar): Adjust padding, border radius, background color, and border style to match your store’s branding.

If you’d like a more visual way to show progress, you can enable the alert's optional Progress bar, which provides a dynamic bar that fills as the customer adds items or increases their cart total.

7. Save the Coupon Settings

Click Save to apply the changes. The coupon will now only be valid if the conditions are met.
