I have a small store in Switzerland (Europe, but non-EU). I have successfully
set the minimum order value at 2 Swiss Francs (about 2 Euros) for all orders.
Because of complications with VAT, etc., I want the minimum order value for non-Swiss
orders to be 8 CHF (7.50 EUR). I found an option for this in the shipping methods
page, so I used that for each foreign shipping method.
Now I have received a foreign order for only 3 CHF, and the system allowed it
but since there is no valid shipping method, it made it a manual invoice order.
I have now sent a message to the buyer explaining this and cancelled the order.
I must be doing something wrong here, and there must be a better way, but I cannot
any other options to make a minimum value for foreign orders that is different
from domestic orders. Can anyone help, please? I've tried searching for help,
but couldn't find the info.

Set one or more shipping methods to International with a minimum of 8€.
Set one manual shipping method to International with a minimum of 8€.

Set one or more shipping methods to Domestic with a minimum of 2€.
Set one manual shipping method to Domestic with a minimum of 2€.

This way you're safe in any case.
