1
Check activation
Confirm the rule is not Draft. Reopen it after saving to check the stored values. Price, weight and customer rules need their own overview switches enabled.For quantity restrictions, check the appropriate Enable quantity rules or Enable product quantity limits switch and confirm Cart and checkout validation is enabled.
2
Check products and calculation
Verify the actual cart products are selected. Collections use current membership. Check whether the quantity calculation is individual or combined.
3
Check customer identity
Sign in with the correct account for tag tests. Check tags in the Shopify customer profile, confirm Add tag was used, and verify matching versus non-matching conditions.
4
Test at the right stage
Checkout-only rules do not check cart interactions. Quantity minimums also check at checkout. Successful add-to-cart alone does not prove the rule is failing.
5
Isolate other rules
Check list order, variant limits, combined rules and cumulative rules. Temporarily set unrelated rules to drafts, test, then restore them one at a time.
