RuleHook – Smarter Shipping Logic for Modern E-commerce

RuleHook is a flexible rules engine that gives online stores full control over how shipping methods behave. Most platforms offer limited logic, which forces merchants to rely on hacks, stacked plugins, or custom code. RuleHook solves this with clean conditional rules that anyone can build.

What RuleHook Does

RuleHook lets you create clear “if this… then that” logic for shipping. Each rule has its own conditions and actions that determine when methods appear, how they are priced, or how they should behave in the checkout.

Key Features

• Conditional logic: Target postcode, city, state, country, distance radius, cart value, weight, item count, categories, tags, and more.
  
• Flexible actions: Show or hide methods, set custom costs, add fees, rename methods, override carrier rates, or add lead times.
  
• Distance-based rules: Build delivery options using radius-based geolocation.
  
• Works with any carrier: Compatible with all shipping-rate plugins and APIs.
  
• Cross-platform: Supports WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom stores through API.

Why It Exists

Merchants often need logic that platforms do not support, such as: - Local delivery within a defined radius
- Surcharges for large or fragile items
- Hiding express options for rural postcodes
- Free shipping above certain cart thresholds
- Custom business rules that change over time

RuleHook centralizes all shipping logic in one place without writing code.

Who It’s For

• Store owners who need more control
  
• Developers and agencies managing client stores
  
• Merchants with complex or custom shipping requirements
  

RuleHook helps stores offer accurate, reliable shipping options that match real business rules and reduce checkout friction.
