What is RuleHook?

RuleHook is a shipping rules engine for online stores. It sits between a store's checkout and its shipping methods, applying conditions the merchant defines to decide which rates appear, what they are called, and what they cost. It works with Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom stores through a REST API, and the site calls it a developer-first shipping logic engine.

The core idea is replacing flat-rate shipping with rules based on cart contents, customer, and destination. Store owners build those rules in a no-code builder, while developers can use the API for advanced cases. The site says more than 200 Shopify and WooCommerce stores use it, and the blog lists Waseem Senjer as CTO and founder.

How does RuleHook work?

Each integration follows a short flow. On Shopify, merchants install the app from the Shopify App Store, create rules in the RuleHook dashboard, and see rates update at checkout. On WooCommerce, they install the plugin, set conditions and actions, and see dynamic rates in cart and checkout. Custom stores authenticate with an API key and POST cart data to the /evaluate endpoint.

A newer capability applies rules to rates that existing shipping plugins already calculate, such as live-rate and table-rate plugins on WooCommerce and custom stores. If RuleHook cannot be reached, the store shows its own rates unchanged, and taxes are recalculated whenever a price changes. The site says the connectors respond in milliseconds.

Key features of RuleHook

Rules combine conditions such as weight, postcode, region, cart value, product tags, SKUs, collections, and customer tags using unlimited AND/OR logic. A single rule can stack several actions: set a price, add a surcharge or discount, make a method free, rename it, add a subtitle, or hide it. Delivery windows and cutoff times can also be shown at checkout.

Testing and control features include sample-cart validation, a checkout preview, drafts, team collaboration, version history with rollback, and evaluation logs showing which rules fired on each checkout. Rule groups and advanced logic appear on the Pro plan, while API access and advanced analytics appear on the Premium plan.

Do I need to code to use RuleHook?

No. The site describes RuleHook as 100% no-code for store owners, using a visual rule builder. Developers can also use the REST API for advanced cases, which is listed on the Premium plan.

What does RuleHook integrate with?

RuleHook integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom stores via API. It can also apply rules to rates from shipping plugins such as Australia Post, NZ Post, Royal Mail, Evri, table rates, flat rate, and local pickup on WooCommerce and custom stores.

Does RuleHook work with Australia Post and other live-rate plugins?

Yes, on WooCommerce and custom stores. RuleHook applies rules to the rates your existing plugins calculate, so you can hide, rename, or reprice them without replacing anything. If RuleHook cannot be reached, the store's own rates show unchanged.

Can I manage multiple stores with RuleHook?

Yes. Multiple stores can be connected to one account, and each can have its own rules, zones, and API settings. Starter allows one store, Pro two, and Premium three.

What happens if I uninstall RuleHook?

The shipping setup reverts to the platform's defaults, and the site says it makes no irreversible changes to store configuration. Rules are kept, so reinstalling restores them.
