## The prompt

```text
Look at orders from my wholesale customers over the last 90 days. Tell me how many were under [$150] and what share of wholesale revenue they made up. Suggest a minimum order subtotal, a minimum quantity, or both, for the [wholesale_customer] role. Show me your suggestion and wait for my OK, because this replaces the current minimum for that role. Then set it.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Look at orders from my wholesale customers over the last 90 days…

Assistant: 486 wholesale orders in 90 days. 71 were under $150, which is 15% of orders but only 3% of wholesale revenue. Calling: `wholesale-suite/list-wholesale-customers`, `woocommerce/orders-query`, `wholesale-suite/set-minimum-order-rule`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Set a $150 minimum subtotal for Wholesale Customer. Wholesale carts under that amount do not get wholesale prices until they reach it.
