Scoping rules

1 min read

Scoping decides which products and markets a rule applies to, so different items can behave differently.

  • By product, collection, or tag. Give frozen goods a longer lead time, or restrict a fragile line to certain weekdays.
  • By country. Target a market β€” for example, offer date selection to Japan only.
  • By fulfillment method. Make any rule delivery-only, pickup-only, or both.

When more than one rule could match, the most specific wins: product > collection > tag > storewide. So a product-level rule overrides a collection rule, which overrides a storewide default.

A rule can also target a country and a fulfillment method β€” delivery-only, pickup-only, or both.
