Advanced Display Rules

Advanced Display Rules decide whether a shipping method will be shown to the customer or not. They check the display rules you set and then show or hide the shipping method on the cart or checkout page.

In WowShipping, Advanced Display Rules are available for all shipping methods, including:

• Flexible Rate
• Flat Rate
• Free Shipping
• Carrier Live Rate

You can find this option at the bottom of the conditions for each shipping method.

How Advanced Display Rules Work

Let’s say you set these display rules: 👇

• Free Shipping → Show only if the order total is $100 or more
• Express Delivery → Show only for New York City
• Standard Delivery → Show for everyone

And this is what display rules do in a real situation: 👇

Customer 1	Customer 2
A customer from New York City adds products worth $120	A customer from California adds products worth $80
✅ Free Shipping is shown ✅ Express Delivery is shown ✅ Standard Delivery is shown	❌ Free Shipping is hidden ❌ Express Delivery is hidden ✅ Standard Delivery is shown

In Short, Advanced Display Rules show the right shipping method to the right customer, at the right time.

How to Set Up Advanced Display Rules

Advanced Display Rules are optional. Use them only when you want to control when a shipping method is shown or hidden, whether it’s Flexible Rate, Flat Rate, Free Shipping, or Live Rates.

Follow these steps to set up display rules:

1. Enable Advanced Display Rules
   • Turn on the option to start using display rules.
2. Choose an Attribute
   • Select what the rule should be based on, such as location, cart total, or product type.
3. Select an Operator
   • Choose how the rule should compare the value (for example: equals, greater than, or less than).
4. Enter a Value
   • Add the value that matches your chosen attribute and operator.
5. Click Add Display Rule (Optional)
   • Use this when multiple rules must be met for the shipping method to appear.
