Priority determines the execution order of Order Rules. Understanding how priority works ensures your rules run in the correct sequence to achieve the desired automation outcomes.
How priority works
By default, when making an Order Rule, the priority is set at 100. Rules with priority 100 will run first. If you want to set a rule to run after others, choose a lower number for the priority.
Priority execution order:
100 = Highest priority (runs first).
1 = Lowest priority (runs last).
Rules execute in descending order: 100, then 99, then 98, and so on.
Simultaneous execution
If all rules stay at priority 100, then they'll run simultaneously.
Recommended priority levels
You can use priority levels strategically to control rule execution:
Priority 100: Critical business rules (e.g., fraud detection).
Priority 75: Shipping route optimisation.
Priority 50: General automation.
Priority 25: Enhancement rules (tags, documentation).
Tip: Assign priority levels based on the importance and dependencies of your rules. Critical rules that other rules depend on should have higher priority values.
