Rule Builder

The Rule Builder included in Shopware 6 allows you to create individual rules based on conditions, which can be used, for instance, to calculate shipping costs or customer-specific product prices.

Overview

By accessing the menu item Settings > Shop > Rule Builder you will receive an overview of all rules that have already been created. The overview is divided into several columns that immediately show you the following information:

• Name (1) Contains the name stored for the rule. For instance this name is used in the administration for assigning the rule in other modules

• Description (2) Shows the (optional) description of the rule, including more information about the use of the rule, if applicable.

• Priority (3) The priority indicates whether a rule is applied before another rule, if relevant. The higher the priority, the sooner it is executed.

• Creation date (4) The rule was created on this date.

• Status (4) Indicates whether the rule is valid, only valid rules can be used. Rules created through the administration are checked for validity and can only be saved if all mandatory fields are filled with valid values.

Create rule

In this section we explain how to create rules and which conditions and operators you can use.
At the end you will also find various examples of common scenarios that you can use as a foundation for your own rules.

A rule consists of at least one condition, but can also contain several conditions which are connected by an AND / OR - link. Furthermore it's possible to add a subcondition.
When creating the condition, depending on the condition you select, various operators are available to define the condition in more depth. In order to create a new rule, click on the button Create rule.
Afterwards the following mask opens.

General

In the general settings of the rule you specify a name and set the priority of the rule.

With the priority you can define which rule should be executed first if there are several existing rules. These will be processed based on there priority.  (A rule with priority 5 is executed before a rule with priority 3, but after a rule with priority 9)

Additionally, you can store a description text. For instance this could explain what this rule is used for.
This description is only displayed in administration and is not visible in the frontend.

You can specify the type of rule to make this rule available only in certain program modules, e.g. for shipping costs.

A modal then opens for the creation of the subordinate conditions.  The following conditions have the filter option: Total quantity of all products, Total quantity of distinct products, as well as Subtotal of all items. 

Linking conditions

Within a rule, you can link several conditions with each other, which allows you to map even very complex scenarios.
In the case of an AND link, all conditions must apply for the rule to be considered valid.

Avoid querying the same resource in both conditions of an AND operation, as this can lead to problems in the evaluation of the condition.

Only one of the conditions has to match for an OR link to be valid.
You also have the option of creating subconditions. In this case, the system first checks the parent condition and if this is met, the system checks the subcondition(s).

Examples

For better understanding we have created an article with some examples in the Tutorials & FAQ section.

Deleting rules

Rules can only be deleted if they are no longer used by the system. If you want to delete a rule that is still being used by the system, you will get a message telling you where in the system the selected rule still exists. For example, in the products, shipping costs or in a promotion.

Example:

According to this error message, the rule is still used in two shipping types and one discount promotion. You can click on the link and you will be taken directly to the place where the rule is still used.
