Every rule is either Active or Draft. Two ways to switch.

​
From the list

The Enabled toggle in the customizations table. Flipping it takes effect immediately — no save step, no confirmation. This is the fast path for pausing a rule during a sale or turning a seasonal rule back on.

​
From the editor

The Status dropdown in the right-hand column, applied when you Save.

​
Working safely

New rules default to Draft in the advanced editor, so you can build across several sessions without exposing a half-finished rule. Take advantage of that: build in Draft, read the Description panel, then flip to Active. For a change to a rule that is already live, the safer sequence is to switch it to Draft first, edit, then reactivate — rather than saving edits straight onto an Active rule and having every checkout pick up an intermediate state.

​
Verifying a rule is doing what you think

There is no preview. Test on the real checkout:
  1. Activate the rule.
  2. Build a cart that should match and confirm the method is hidden, moved, or renamed.
  3. Build a cart that should not match and confirm the method is still there.
Step 3 is the one people skip, and it is where over-broad conditions show up.
Rules do not apply to draft orders or orders created in the admin. Testing through the admin will show you the unfiltered list every time — always test from the storefront.

​
Disable instead of delete

A disabled rule costs nothing and keeps its configuration. When you are unsure whether a rule is still needed, toggle it off and leave it for a billing cycle rather than deleting it.
