Creating a new conditional rule
Each rule includes a condition and an action: If a condition is fulfilled, another field reacts accordingly (action).
Start by selecting one of your checkout fields (e.g. the "Is this a gift" field). Then, apply the condition that needs to be fulfilled (e.g. Is equal to "Yes"). Finally, select the action that occurs when the condition is met.
