Choose whether the rule should should work when All or Any conditions are met.
When an order is imported to Sendcloud, a shipping rule checks if it meets certain conditions.
Conditions consist of 3 parts: Orders’ property, Logic argument, and Value you want the rule to evaluate orders against.
In this example the rule would check if an order’s delivery method chosen in the checkout contains the text “DHL” and if the order’s weight is less or equal than 2.
Add or remove a condition from a rule.
When the conditions above are met, the shipping rule will perform a certain action.
Actions consist of 2 parts: the Order's property and the Value you want the rule to set for it.
In this example the rule would set an order’s delivery method to “DHL Parcel Connect 0-2 kg”.
