See every featureCartsmith turns your checkout policies and volume pricing into rules that run inside checkout. Hide cash on delivery for big orders, offer a payment method only in some countries, hide express shipping for heavy carts, set minimum and maximum orders or case packs, and give buy-more-save-more or mix-and-match discounts.
Checkout Rules stops orders you can't or won't fulfil before they're placed. Pick one of 24 templates, such as an order minimum, a quantity cap or a delivery-country list, adjust it, and test it on carts built around its own limits. Each rule reads back in plain English and runs on cart changes, at checkout or both. Shoppers who break a rule see your message and can fix their cart.
- Hide, rename or reorder payment methods by cart, country, product or customer
- Hide or rename shipping options for heavy, dangerous or local orders
- Minimum and maximum orders, case packs, or block checkout with your message
- Quantity break discounts: buy more, save more, per product or mix and match
- Block carts on subtotal, quantity, SKU, product type, tags or delivery country
- 24 ready-made templates in five categories, all adjustable before saving
- Choose whether each rule checks cart changes, checkout, or both
- Test on carts built around each rule's limits before shoppers see it
