## Code

```php
$wpide_trade_minimum = array(
    'roles'  => array( 'wholesale_customer' ), // Roles with the minimum.
    'amount' => 250,                           // Minimum subtotal.
);

add_action( 'woocommerce_check_cart_items', function () use ( $wpide_trade_minimum ) {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() || ! array_intersect( $wpide_trade_minimum['roles'], (array) wp_get_current_user()->roles ) ) {
        return;
    }

    $subtotal = (float) WC()->cart->get_subtotal();

    if ( $subtotal < $wpide_trade_minimum['amount'] ) {
        wc_add_notice(
            sprintf( 'Trade orders have a minimum of %1$s. Your cart is currently %2$s.', wc_price( $wpide_trade_minimum['amount'] ), wc_price( $subtotal ) ),
            'error'
        );
    }
} );
```

## Notes

The minimum is compared with the cart subtotal before shipping, and retail customers are not affected.
