Delivery Rule

With delivery rules, you can control which delivery options are shown at checkout for orders that match the conditions. There are two approaches: hiding the specified delivery options, and showing only the specified delivery options.

A delivery rule shows or hides delivery options only when all of the configured conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, nothing is controlled, and Shopify's shipping settings apply as they are.

Here is an example where a rule shows only "Delivery A" among multiple shipping methods when the destination is Japan.

The settings available for a delivery rule are as follows. The following image shows the delivery rule settings screen.

An internal name to identify the rule. It is not shown to customers. The list does not show whether the shipping destination is "Selected countries" or "All except selected," so including something like "(All except selected)" in the title makes rules easier to tell apart.

Configure the delivery options to show or hide when the conditions are met.

If you have multiple "Hide the specified delivery options" rules, the delivery option is hidden as soon as any one of them matches its conditions.

If you select "Shipping" as the delivery type, you can narrow down shipping methods by name. If you don't specify a name, all delivery options of the "Shipping" type are targeted.

• The shipping method suggestions are the shipping method names within a profile, not the shipping profile name.

• Names are compared with case sensitivity. For multilingual stores, add the name for each language separately.

Configure the language condition for applying the rule. Choose from "All languages" or "Specific languages."

Configure the customer condition for applying the rule.

If you select "Customers with accounts," you can narrow down further by customer tag or customer metafield.

You can specify both "Include customers with any of these tags" and "Exclude customers with any of these tags". In both fields, multiple tags are combined with OR.

If you set both, the rule applies only to customers who have an included tag and none of the excluded tags.

Narrows down customers by the value of a customer metafield. Specify the namespace, key and type, then enter values under "Include customers with any of these values" and "Exclude customers with any of these values".

If you set both, the rule applies only to customers whose metafield has an included value and not an excluded value.

• The include condition does not apply to customers who have no value set for the metafield.

• Customers who have no value set for the metafield are not excluded either.

• When you set the namespace and key, enter at least one included or excluded value.

• You can specify up to 100 tags in total across included and excluded tags.

• You can specify up to 100 excluded values.

• The same tag or the same value cannot be both included and excluded.

Configure the product condition for applying the rule. It applies if the cart contains even one item that matches the condition.

Configure the order condition for applying the rule. If you select "Specific orders," you can combine the following conditions to narrow it down.

Set a minimum and maximum amount for the total price in the cart. Set the amount in the store currency; if you sell in local currency, it is converted using the exchange rate for evaluation.

There are two types of price used for evaluation. Neither includes shipping or tax.

• Cart subtotal (before discounts, excluding shipping and tax): Evaluated using the cart subtotal before discounts.

• Cart subtotal (after discounts, excluding shipping and tax): Evaluated using the cart subtotal after discounts.

The following image shows where the price basis is reflected at checkout.

Set a minimum and maximum weight for the total weight of all items in the cart. The total weight is calculated by multiplying the variant weight registered in Shopify by the quantity. Variants with no weight set are not included in the total.

Narrows down by the key and value of an attribute set on the cart. If the specified key is not on the cart, or the value does not match, the rule does not apply.

Narrows down by the shipping destination country. The country entered in the shipping address at checkout is used for evaluation.

Here are the settings for differentiating sales by country.

• There is no bulk import feature for countries. Add them one at a time from the country selector.

• With "All except selected," countries added to the app's country selector later are automatically included as well. If you want to exclude a country, add it to the list whenever it's needed.

A delivery rule you create is not applied at checkout until you enable it.

• Initial Setup (Delivery Limits)

• (Use Case) Sell Only to Specific Countries / Block Specific Countries

• Delivery Options Not Being Hidden
