What are rules?

Rules allow you to organize the assignment of courier contracts or pick-up depots to your orders according to the conditions you set.

📔 Note: These rules only apply when creating the order (not retroactive) and will only apply if the shop does not assign the courier that has to process the order or the sender from where it is sent.

How to create a rule

Step 1: To add a rule you have to configure it in Account > Rules.

We have two tabs where you can add the rules you want:

  • Shipping rules: To assign the most suitable courier .E.g. If an order is going to Germany and weighs 10kg send it with DHL Paket.

  • Pickup Rules: To assign the correct pick up warehouse. E.g. If an order has SKU CF595342V send it from the warehouse in Calle Isidoro de Sevilla, Madrid.

Strep 2: Add rule

At the bottom of the table you will find the add rule button and you will only have to fill in 3 fields:

1º field - First, you will need to name the rule you are creating.

2º field - Secondly, you have to add the condition you want the order to fulfill in order for the rule to apply. These are the conditions that are available to you:
