How to Enable Advanced Rule Conditions
- Locate the Shipping Rules section of the ShipperHQ Dashboard and click to enter the main shipping rules page.
- Click the Settings link in the top right corner of the page.
A new modal will open showing which criteria are enabled and which are not. Simply toggle the options you'd like to use in your rules to "Yes" to add these as conditions for your shipping rules.
Once you've enabled each option you'd like to use, click Apply. You will now see additional options available under the Advanced tab when creating shipping rules.
Common Uses for Advanced Shipping Rule Conditions
Customer Groups
Customer Groups are popular advanced conditions. By adding this option to your shipping rules, you can present different shipping options based on a customer's login and permissions on the eCommerce platform.
Read more about shipping rules based on customer groups here.
💡 For Shopify merchants, using customer groups is not supported. This is available for Shopify Plus stores only. See our guide for enabling customer group (customer tags) for Shopify Plus here.
Address Type
Address type rules are easy to configure for discounts, surcharges, or hide rules based on the customer's delivery address. Please read more about Address Type rules and how to use them.
Origin Based Rules
You can configure origin-based rules to apply specific conditions for rates shown at checkout. For example, apply a surcharge or discount based on designated origins.
For more details on setting up Origin-based shipping rules, see this guide.
Box Based Rules
Box-based rules are a popular way to add surcharges, discounts, flat rates, or even hide rules that apply when a designated box, or boxes, are in the cart. For more details and configuration steps, please see this step-by-step guide.
