Why does the app still allow discounts even if the order amount is below the minimum?

Question: I have set a minimum cart requirement but discounts are still applied even if the customer orders below the minimum amount I have specified. Why is that?

Answer: This happens because the minimum requirements are calculated on the total amount of the order from the regular prices of the items and not from each item added to the cart. Even if each item added is below the minimum, the total cart amount reaches or exceeds the requirement so discounts are applied.
