# Requirements section

## Overview

This section allows to build advanced logical expressions based on values of the order.

A requirement can evaluate to either True or False value.

All requirements are placed in the root group called *DefaultRequirementGroup*.

* Order totals
* Specification attributes
* Shipping methods *(not aplacible)*
* Product Category, Manufacturer, Vendor
