# How the rules are applied
Rule application setting
#### All applicable rules
All applicable rules will be applied based on their position in order list (top-down)
*Example:* You have **2 product pricing rules**, and Beanie price is **$20** and **Album price** is **$15**
* Rule 1: Discount $5 when you buy Beanie product.
* Rule 2: Discount 20% when buying from 3 to 4 Beanie
The scenario is:
* When you buy first item which is **Beanie**, you have discount **$5** **( rule 1 is applied )** => Your cart subtotal is **$15**
* When you buy another **Beanie, rule 1** is applied => Your cart subtotal is **$30. $15 x2** of **Beanie**
* When you buy another **Beanie**, **rule 1 and rule 2** are applied => Beanie price now is **$12**. After rule 1, price is **$15,** then **rule 2** affected, price is **$12**. => Subtotal is **$12 \* 3 = $36**
#### **The first applicable rule:**
The first matched rule will take effect, and all other rules following it will be ignored.
#### **Minimum discount amount:**
Rule will make smallest amount of adjustment to take effect.
*Example*: Beanie price is **$20**
* Rule 1: Discount $5 when buying a Beanie
* Rule 2: Discount 10% when buying a Beanie.
\=> Rule 2 will take effect ( The smallest amount of adjustment is **$2** )
#### **Maximum discount amount:**
Rule is the opposite of Minimum discount amount, it will make highest amount of adjustment to take effect.
#### **To non discount product**
Rule will only apply to products that are not on sale or have no discounts applied to them.
*Example:*
* Rule 1: Discount 10% when buying a Beanie
* Rule 2: Discount 50% when buying a Cap, Beanie
⇒ Rule 2 will only take effect for Cap.
