# Rules

## General information

Each rule is applied to one, or many shipping methods. 

Rule can:

* Hide shipping methods it's applied to
* Change shipping fee of all rules it's applied to
* Hide all rules, except the ones it's applied to

## Order of rules

Each rule has admin-defined parameter **Priority**. This parameter determines the order, in which rules are applied, starting with rules with **lowest Priority**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Rules can be cumulative, meaning that multiple rules can be applied to the same shipping method.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If rule **B** is applied *after* rule **A**, and rule **A** is not cumulative, rule **B** *will not be applied*.
{% endhint %}
