To create new rules please follow these steps:

1. Go to: WooCommerce > Settings > Checkout rules and validation.
2. Click on Add Custom Rule.
3. Enter a name for the rule.
4. Select conditions (view creating conditions below).
5. Enter a message that will appear as an error message in the store, if the the condition is not met.
6. Click on save rule.
7. Activate the rule by ticking the checkbox on the main settings page.
8. The rules are not global, so you have to add them to each product and if a product with said rule is in the cart that rule will be applied to the entire cart.

Example: Item quantity is larger 3.

If the item quantity is smaller than 3, the error message that you entered will show up in the shop.

Creating conditions

You can add a number of custom conditions in the add custom rule page. The checkout will only be allowed, when the conditions that you set are met. For example, if you create a condition Address Country Code contains US the checkout will only be allowed if the country code of the user contains US, otherwise the error message that you choose for that condition will show up.
