What it does

Advanced Shipping, in practice.

A rule engine that plugs into the core shipping-rates filter: the first matching rule becomes the shipping line the customer sees. Rules are evaluated in priority order; if nothing matches and no other method exists, an optional flat fallback applies. Rules are created and deleted from the admin over REST with full validation.

CapabilitiesPhysical
  • Conditions: cart subtotal min/max, cart weight min/max, destination countries, has product, has category
  • Results: free, flat, percentage of subtotal, or per item
  • Priority ordering with a stable tie-break; up to 200 active rules
  • Optional fallback flat rate when no rule matches
  • Rejects invalid ranges and unknown result types at save time
  • Result amount floored at zero — a rule can never produce negative shipping

Routes and hooks.

Built on the same Addon SDK as every other Pro add-on — extend it instead of replacing it.

  • GET /ambikly-pro/v1/shipping-rules
  • POST /ambikly-pro/v1/shipping-rules
  • DELETE /ambikly-pro/v1/shipping-rules

Core hooks it listens to

Works with

Setup

From toggle to live in a few minutes.

  1. Enable it

    Ambikly → Add-ons → Advanced Shipping → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.

  2. Set it up

    Open its settings panel and set: fallback flat rate.

  3. Find it in use

    The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.

  4. Turn it off without losing anything

    Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.

Where it fits

Part of the physical products story.

Inventory, variations, shipping zones, tax rates, coupons, refunds and seven payment methods ship in the free core. Conditional shipping rules, shipment tracking, swatches and bundles arrive with Pro — in the same admin.

  • Shipping zones and tax rates in Free
  • No transaction fees
How Ambikly handles physical products
FAQ

About Advanced Shipping.

What happens if two rules both match?

First match wins, ordered by priority then by age, so ties resolve deterministically to the oldest rule.

Does it talk to carrier APIs for live rates?

No. It is a rule engine evaluated against the cart; it is not a replacement for carrier-API integrations.

How is a category condition matched?

Against the product’s category — Ambikly products carry one primary category.
