Can I Have Multiple Rules at the Same Time?

Yes. You can create as many rules as you need and run several at once, up to your plan’s active-rule limit per rule type (1 on Free, 3 on Starter and Starter Plus, unlimited on Unlimited). They all run independently during checkout. See How Many Rules Can I Create?.

How Multiple Rules Work Together

Each rule runs on its own. When a customer reaches checkout:

  1. All active validation rules check their conditions - any that match show error messages.
  2. All active hide rules check their conditions - any that match remove the targeted methods.
  3. All active rename rules check their conditions - any that match change method names.
  4. All active reorder rules check their conditions - any that match change method order.
  5. All active discount rules check their conditions - any that match apply shipping discounts.

Examples of Multiple Rules Working Together

  • Rule 1: Hide “Cash on Delivery” for international orders
  • Rule 2: Hide “Local Pickup” for non-local customers
  • Rule 3: Rename “Economy Shipping” to “Standard (5-7 days)”
  • Rule 4: Free shipping for orders over $99

All four rules run independently during the same checkout. A customer from another country with a $120 order would see COD hidden, pickup hidden, economy renamed, and free shipping applied - all at once.

Things to Watch Out For

  • Conflicting rename rules: If two rename rules match the same method, results may be unpredictable. Use one rename rule per method.
  • Hide + reorder on the same method: If a hide rule removes a method that a reorder rule tries to rank, the reorder simply has no effect on the hidden method (which is fine).
  • Multiple discount rules: If several discount rules apply to the same shipping method, they each apply independently. Make sure you don’t unintentionally stack discounts.
