Product Rule Object – Properties

Name	Type	Description
id	int	The ID of the rule.
product_id	int	The ID of the product to which the rule belongs.
sort_order	int	The order in which the rule will be displayed on the product page. Lower integers will give the rule a higher priority. If the rule is given a lower priority, then when updating, all rules with a `sort_order` the same or greater than the rule's new `sort_order` value will have their `sort_order` reordered.
is_enabled	boolean	If set to `true`, the rule will be evaluated when a customer configures a product's options.
is_stop	boolean	If set to `true` and the rule evaluates to `true`, no more rules with a higher `sort_order` will be processed.
price_adjuster	object	If a product option rule specifies a change to the price based on an option, the `price_adjuster` object will consist of two name/value pairs. The first pair is named `adjuster` and contains one of the following values: `relative`, `percentage`, or `absolute`. The `percentage` value causes the price to vary based on either a positive or negative percentage. The `relative` value causes the price to vary by either a positive or negative monetary amount. The `absolute` value resets the price, so it should always be a positive number. The second pair is named `adjuster_value` and contains a decimal value representing one of the following: the amount to add or subtract from the price, the percentage by which the price should change, or the new price (as per the `adjuster` setting). If the product option rule does not specify a change to the price based on size or color, `price_adjuster` will be null.
weight_adjuster	object	If a product option rule specifies a change to the weight based on an option, the `weight_adjuster` object will consist of two name/value pairs. The first pair is named `adjuster` and contains one of the following values: `relative` or `absolute`. The `relative` value causes the weight to vary by either a positive or negative amount. The `absolute` value resets the weight, so it should always be a positive number. The second pair is named `adjuster_value` and contains a decimal value representing one of the following: the amount to add or subtract from the weight or the new weight (as per the `adjuster` setting). If the product option rule does not specify a change to the price based on size or color, `weight_adjuster` will be null.
is_purchasing_disabled	boolean	If true this rule prohibits purchasing the product with the configured option values.
purchasing_disabled_message	string	The message to display if the rule disabled purchasing the product.
is_purchasing_hidden	boolean	If true the rule hides the options on the product. Setting this to true has no effect if the rule is based on an SKU or has conditions from multiple product options.
image_file	string	When specifying a product rule, the image_file should be specified as either: A path to a rule already uploaded via FTP in the import directory and the path should be relative from the import directory. It can be a URL to a rule accessible on the internet.
conditions	array	The conditions array can contain one or more objects. Each object inside the array contains three name/value pairs, but at least one value will be missing at any given time. If a `product_option_id` value is present, then a `option_value_id` must also be present. If `product_option_id` and `option_value_id` values are present, then a `sku_id` value must not be present. This also holds true in the reverse, where if a `sku_id` value exists, values for the `product_option_id` and `option_value_id` cannot exist. NOTE: if you can use a SKU value, this is preferred for simplicity. Empty values are represented as `null`. If multiple objects are included in the array, the software runs through them using an AND/OR logic. Objects with identical `product_option_id` values will be linked with an OR. Objects with different `product_option_id` values will be linked with an AND. When one object contains a `sku_id` value and the other contains `product_option_id` and `option_value_id` values, they will be linked with an AND. Two objects which both contain `sku_id` values will be linked with an OR.

List Product Rules

Gets the collection of rules associated with a product. (Default sorting is by rule id, from lowest to highest.)

GET /stores/{store_hash}/v2/products/{product_id}/rules

Filters

There are no filter parameters specific to product rules.

Pagination

Parameters can be added to the URL query string to paginate the collection. The maximum limit is 250. If a limit isn’t provided, up to 50 product_rules are returned by default.

Parameter	Type	Example
page	int	`/api/v2/products/{product_id}/rules?page={number}`
limit	int	`/api/v2/products/{product_id}/rules?limit={count}`
