If a minimum cart requirement is in place, then the price in the cart for the product is going to be based on its retail price. When the minimum purchase amount (in local currency) is reached, the discount applies immediately.
Similarly, you can set a minimum order quantity and the discount applies immediately once it is fulfilled.
Notes:
1. If minimum cart requirements are not met then our app will not apply any discounts and shipping rates on the checkout page.
2. Minimum cart requirements don't apply to the Net Term orders and Manual Orders.
