Selection rules
Require a minimum, maximum, or exact number of items from each category.
By default customers can take any mix of products from any category. Selection rules let you say choose exactly 3 candles and at least 2 soaps.
Turn rules on
Open your builder and go to the Products tab.
Scroll to the Rules Configuration card.
Select Step rules instead of No rules.
Click Add Rule.
Step rules only become available once you've added categories. Until then the card shows Add categories above to configure selection rules.
Build a rule
Each rule has three parts, plus a checkbox:
Metric — Quantity.
Condition — how the quantity is compared.
Value — the number.
Auto-advance to next step — optional. See below.
Conditions
| Condition | Means | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| is greater than or equal to | At least this many. | A minimum per category. |
| is less than or equal to | No more than this many. | Capping a premium category. |
| is equal to | Exactly this many. | A fixed recipe box. |
Auto-advance
Tick Auto-advance to next step and the customer is moved to the next category tab the moment their rule is satisfied — no clicking required.
It makes a multi-category builder feel like a guided flow rather than a form. Turn it on for fixed recipes; leave it off when you want customers browsing freely.
Remove a rule
Click Remove on the rule. With no rules left, switch back to No rules.
Which mode to use
| Mode | Best for |
|---|---|
| No rules | Pick-any boxes, sample kits, general mixes. |
| Step rules | Fixed recipes — 3 candles, 2 soaps, 1 bath bomb. |
Rules and box sizes work together
Box sizes control the total number of items. Rules control the split between categories. Make sure your per-category minimums can actually add up to the box size, or customers will get stuck unable to complete a box.
