Can I require a minimum quantity for discounts to apply?

I'm running an e-commerce store and want to implement more strategic discount rules that encourage larger purchases. I've noticed customers sometimes add minimal items to take advantage of discounts, which reduces my profit margins. I need to understand how to set up minimum quantity requirements for discounts to ensure that promotions actually drive meaningful revenue and basket size. What are the best practices and technical methods for implementing quantity-based discount triggers?

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Require a minimum quantity for discounts to apply by setting a quantity threshold in your discount rules - for example, buy 3+ units to unlock 15% off. This drives volume sales while protecting margins on single-unit purchases.
