Updated November 9, 2026

Templates are ready-made checkout rules for the most common needs, such as hiding Cash on Delivery for big orders or blocking PO boxes. Pick one, fill in your values and save.

Add a rule from a template

  1. On Home, pick a card in the Setup guide. The rule opens in the editor.
  2. Fill in anything left empty, such as a payment method, an amount or a product group.
  3. Select Save.

The setup guide shows six: Hide Cash on Delivery over an amount, Block PO boxes for some products, Hide express shipping for heavy carts, Free shipping over an amount, Minimum order for local delivery and Wholesale payment, by customer tag. Select All templates for the rest.

You can also go to Payments, Delivery, Restrictions or Discounts, select Templates, and select Add next to a template. It’s added with example values; open the rule to change them.

Like any rule, it stays a draft until you publish it.
