Create straightforward checkout rules with a visual editor, start from one of three free templates, and preview sample conditions before enabling a rule.<\/p>\n\n

MegalogicStudio Checkout Rule Guard is an independent plugin compatible with WooCommerce. It does not process payments, calculate shipping quotes, or enable payment methods that WooCommerce has made unavailable.<\/p>\n\n

The free plugin includes its rule editor, all three templates, server-side rule evaluation, Classic Checkout and Checkout Blocks integrations, rule preview, and configuration conflict warnings. There are no paid feature locks, account requirements, telemetry, or advertising SDKs.<\/p>\n\n

The subtotal condition uses the product subtotal before discounts, excluding tax and shipping, in the store currency. A coupon or tax can change the amount due without changing this configured subtotal value.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install and activate WooCommerce.<\/li>\n
  2. In WordPress, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin and select the MegalogicStudio Checkout Rule Guard ZIP.<\/li>\n
  3. Activate MegalogicStudio Checkout Rule Guard.<\/li>\n
  4. Open WooCommerce > Checkout Rules.<\/li>\n
  5. Choose a template, select the method to hide, set the condition, and save the rule.<\/li>\n
  6. Use Preview rules with sample values, then verify the rule on a staging checkout before enabling it for customers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Which checkout types have been tested?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Classic Checkout and WooCommerce Checkout Blocks were tested locally with WordPress 7.1.3 and WooCommerce 11.2.1. Other versions, themes, payment gateways, shipping extensions, and multisite setups have not been verified.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How is the order amount calculated?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The subtotal is the product subtotal before coupons and other discounts. It excludes tax, shipping, and fees. It is evaluated in the store currency. For example, a $120 product subtotal remains $120 for the rule even if a 50% coupon reduces the amount due.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does the preview make a test order or change a customer cart?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. Preview evaluates the saved rules against the sample subtotal and countries. It does not create an order or modify a customer cart. It checks payment methods enabled in WooCommerce settings and configured shipping instances; it cannot probe third-party gateway availability in real time, guarantee shipping-zone matching, or authorize a payment.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What if rules hide every payment or shipping method?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The preview shows a conflict warning. It does not weaken, disable, or rewrite the saved rules. Review the rules and the methods available in your own store before enabling them.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does MegalogicStudio Checkout Rule Guard collect or send customer data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The plugin has no telemetry or third-party service calls. Rule configuration is stored in the site's WordPress options. During checkout it reads the WooCommerce cart and address context needed to evaluate a rule; it does not log or transmit that context. Preview sample values are not saved.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happens when I deactivate or uninstall the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Deactivation stops this plugin's checkout filters and preserves your rules. Uninstalling also leaves the rule option in the site's database so a later reinstall can restore it. Delete saved rules from WooCommerce > Checkout Rules before uninstalling if you want to remove them.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is this plugin affiliated with WooCommerce or Automattic?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. MegalogicStudio Checkout Rule Guard is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Automattic. WooCommerce is a trademark of Automattic Inc.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
