Delivery rules reshape the delivery step of Shopify’s checkout. Available on every plan, Free included. Open Settings → Rules → Delivery.

​
The shape of a rule

Every rule is WHEN a condition holds, DO something to one or more methods.

Conditions

Country, Cart total, Courier type (locker / office / address), Courier, or Product tag, compared with is, is not, greater than, greater than or equal, less than, less than or equal.

Actions

Hide method, Show only, Rename, or Move to a position in the list.

​
Common examples

Tag the oversized products in Shopify, then: when product tag is bulky, hide the locker methods.
When cart total is greater than or equal to 100, show only “Free shipping”.
When cart total is less than 30, move that courier to position 1.
When country is Greece, rename the method to your Greek wording.

​
How rules combine

Rules are applied independently. Each delivery option is checked against every rule that affects it; if at least one matching rule says hide, it is hidden. There is no priority ladder.
Delivery rules affect what the buyer can pick. Once an order is placed, its chosen delivery method is recorded on the order, and you can still change it from the Orders page before creating the waybill.
  • To change which brands exist for a country at all, use Delivery methods.
  • To set a free-shipping threshold, open the delivery method itself; the threshold is per method.
