Are there requirements to close my store?
ARES reserves the right to set a minimum order threshold before closing a store. This is rare, and the threshold is typically set very low.
If it’s your first store with us, we’ll need the store to hit at least $500 in total sales before it can close and ship — after that, you’re good to go with no minimums for reorders.
