Applicability determines the unit used to aggregate the weight of eligible items for the weight rule. Choose from "Variant," "Product," or "Cart." Weight is aggregated by multiplying the variant's weight registered in Shopify by the quantity.
Applicability | Aggregation unit |
|---|---|
Variant | Each variant separately |
Product | Total of eligible variants within the same product |
Cart | Total of eligible products and variants in the cart |
Note: Variants without a weight set are not included in the aggregation. Variants with a different weight unit than the rule are converted and included, or excluded from the calculation, depending on the "When product weight unit differs" setting.
In the examples below, Product A and Product B are eligible items, and Product C is not eligible. Each product has S, M, and L size variants: S size is 200g, M size is 300g, and L size is 500g. "Product A – S size × 2" means 2 units of Product A's S size have been added to the cart. The weight unit is "Grams (g)," and the maximum weight is 500g.
This aggregates the weight of the same variant. Variants with different sizes or colors are evaluated separately.
Allowed examples
Cart contents | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Product A – S size × 2 (400g) | Allowed | Product A – S size is 500g or less |
Product A – M size × 1 (300g) + Product A – L size × 1 (500g) | Allowed | Different variants of the same product are evaluated separately |
Product A – S size × 2 (400g) + Product B – L size × 1 (500g) | Allowed | Variants of different products are also evaluated separately |
Not allowed examples
Cart contents | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Product A – S size × 3 (600g) | Not allowed | Product A – S size exceeds 500g |
Product B – M size × 2 (600g) + Product B – S size × 1 (200g) | Not allowed | Product B – M size exceeds 500g |
This combines the weight of eligible variants belonging to the same product. Different products are evaluated separately.
Allowed examples
Cart contents | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Product A – S size × 2 (400g) | Allowed | Product A's total is 500g or less |
Product A – S size × 1 + Product A – M size × 1 (500g) | Allowed | Product A's total is 500g or less |
Product A – S size × 2 (400g) + Product B – S size × 2 (400g) | Allowed | Product A and Product B are each 400g |
Not allowed examples
Cart contents | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Product A – S size × 2 + Product A – M size × 1 (700g) | Not allowed | Product A's total exceeds 500g |
Product A – S size × 1 (200g) + Product B – M size × 1 + Product B – L size × 1 (800g) | Not allowed | Product B's total exceeds 500g |
This combines the weight of all eligible products and variants in the cart. Items that are not eligible are not included in the total.
