Minimum purchase required

the state in which a purchase must reach at least a stated total amount.

In plain English

This means there is a lowest total the purchase has to reach. Spending less than that amount does not meet the requirement. The total can be that amount or any higher amount.

In context

Here, it states that the promotion requires the purchase total to be at least a stated amount.

Situation

Meaning limits

The term itself indicates only a minimum total requirement, not whether any other requirements also exist.

Examples

“A minimum purchase of $20 is required, so a $19 order falls short but a $20 order meets it.”

Core meaning

“The promotion requires a minimum purchase of $50.”
