Templates

In short

The template gallery holds ready-made rules for common scenarios. Pick one and it fills the editor with the methods, conditions and settings already configured, ready for you to adjust.

Applies to

  • All Shopify plans, though some templates are plan-gated
  • Payment and shipping rules

Doesn't apply to

  • Applying a template without reviewing it — it always lands in the editor first

Most rules merchants build fall into a handful of shapes. The gallery has those pre-filled, so you start from something working rather than an empty editor.

What’s covered

TypeExamples

Every category also has a Start from blank option, which is just the normal empty editor.

How applying works

Picking a template fills the editor with its methods, conditions and match type. Nothing is saved. You review it, change what you need — most templates have a threshold or country list to set — and activate when ready.

If the editor already has a rule in progress, you are asked to confirm before it is replaced.

Templates on the marketing site

The templates gallery on this site mirrors the in-app catalogue and offers each one as a downloadable JSON. That is useful when you want to inspect a rule before applying it, or hand one to someone else — see import a rule.

Frequently asked

Does applying a template create the rule immediately?

No. It fills the editor. You still name it, adjust it and activate it yourself.

Why is a template showing "Upgrade"?

Its action is not enabled on your plan — the six hide/rename/reorder capabilities are gated separately for payment and shipping.

Can I make my own templates?

Not inside the app, but exporting a rule gives you a reusable file that imports into any store. That covers the same need.
