# Creating shipping rules

You can add postage or shipping costs to your shop by creating **Shipping Rules**. Shipping Rules are made up of **Conditions**, which allow you to set out different shipping costs for your customers based on things like shipping country or order total.

The rules-based system means that you can make multiple shipping rules, which are as simple or specific as you need them to be. 

See [Shipping Rules Examples](https://support.digitalphotogallery.com/articles/article/c54a0ce4-d860-11e2-bbd6-22b8e83b8e79) for detailed examples.

> 💡 **Tip:** Shipping is applied to each order rather than per item.

### Navigating to Shipping

You can find the shipping options by going to **Sales** from the main menu and clicking on the **Shipping** tab. 

### Creating a new shipping rule

Click the **Create** button, give your shipping rule a name and click **Create** to confirm. You can change the name in the future if you need to.

You can now fill out the conditions of this shipping rule, such as the shipping country or order total. 

Click **Create** to add conditions. Open the **Details** panel in the sidebar to add a description, cost and other details. 

> 💡 **Tip:** The name and description will be seen by customers at checkout, so make sure they are accurate and descriptive.

Repeat this process to create additional rules as necessary.

Condition matching allows you to choose between the **all** and **any** setting.

 **All** means that all the conditions must be met for the rule to apply. 

**Any** means the rule will apply if any one of the rules is met. }

### Check and test
Check over your list of rules to make sure that all possible orders are covered by the rules without clashes. 

> ⚠️ **Warning:** Rules apply in the order that they are arranged on the shipping screen. When your customer checks out, the **first applicable rule** will be applied to their order.
