Shipping Rules AI
ScheduledTakes the shipping logic nobody wants to maintain — zones, weight breaks, dimensional rules, carrier splits, the exceptions stacked on the exceptions — and lets you state it in plain words instead of a spreadsheet.
What it
does
The hardest of the three systems and the least glamorous. Shipping logic is where a store quietly loses money. A rate fires when it should not, or does not fire when it should, and nobody notices for a month.
You state the rule in plain words
Write it the way you would explain it to someone starting on Monday. No rate table, no condition builder, no nested spreadsheet you are afraid to touch.
It holds the edge cases
Weight breaks, oversize and dimensional items, remote postcodes, carrier splits, orders that have to leave from two warehouses. The parts that make shipping logic long rather than difficult.
You test it before it goes live
Replay a rule against orders you have already shipped and compare what it would have charged with what you actually charged. Nothing reaches checkout until you have seen that comparison.
You can ask why a rate showed
Every rate carries its own working: which rule matched, which one overrode it, and which services were excluded before pricing. You get an answer, not a shrug.
One rule,
resolved
A rule as a merchant would write it, and the rate it produces for a single order. This is the designed behaviour rather than a recording. The system is not in build yet, and we are showing you the shape of it so you can tell us where it is wrong.
How it
goes in
Four steps. The last one is the one that matters: nothing takes over your live rates until you have watched it agree with them on orders you already shipped.
Install
Add it to your store. Your checkout keeps doing exactly what it does now.
Step 01Import your current rates
Your zones, rate tables, carrier services and product weights come across as they stand. Nothing is rewritten on the way in.
Step 02Write your rules in plain words
Say what should happen. It reads the rule back to you as conditions so you can see whether it understood the same thing you meant.
Step 03Replay last month before you switch over
Run the new rules across the orders you already shipped. Every difference is listed with the rule that caused it. You switch over when the list looks right.
Step 04The
detail
This one is designed and not yet in build, so the rows below describe intent. We would rather leave a row blank than fill it in with something we have to walk back.

about it
Send us the shipping rule you most dread editing, the one with the exceptions stacked on it. We will tell you straight whether this is designed to hold it.
