Specific rules

Specific rules

Specific rules allow you to define personalized payment routes with multiple variables.

A specific rule behaves as follows:

  • If an order meets at least one of the conditions selected by a rule, then it follows a specific flow designed exclusively for transactions that meet all the established parameters.
  • In case the order does not meet any of the established conditions, then the transaction will automatically be directed according to the default processing logic.

🚧

The conditions selected in the strategy are 'AND' conditionals, so the order must meet each of the defined conditions for the strategy to apply.
