Countries
The first Validate in setting controls which orders the rule checks, based on the shipping country.- All countries: the rule checks every order.
- Specific countries: the rule only checks orders shipped to the countries you select. Search for a country, tick it, and it appears in the Allowed Countries box. Click the × on a country to remove it, or Clear all to start again.
The country filter always uses the shipping country, even when the rule checks the billing address.

Off by default. When it is on, the rule also runs when the customer adds to or changes their cart, so problems are caught before checkout.Some details, such as the shipping address, are usually not known until checkout. Rules that depend on them won’t find a problem at the cart stage, but they still run at checkout.
Allow checkout if the app has an error
Allow checkout if the app has an error
On by default. If Shopify can’t run the rule for any reason, customers can still place their order.Turn it off only if it is more important to block an order than to risk losing a sale. With it off, Shopify blocks the checkout whenever it can’t run the rule.
