See it in action Condition reference
On this page
This page lists every condition in the rule builder, grouped the way the condition dropdown groups them. Each row says in one line what the condition checks.
Note Not every condition is in every rule. Which conditions you see depends on the rule type (for example Hide shipping methods) and on the rule set you pick. Use Search for a condition… in the Rule sets card to find the set that has the one you need.
Caution Conditions marked “(Plus required)” only work when your checkout supports checkout extensibility (Shopify Plus). Development stores always work. They do not match in accelerated checkouts such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.
