Introduction
Yes — you can create and apply multiple Tag Library rules at the same time. This is useful if you want to run different access or visibility rules for different customers, products, or regions.
For example, you might have:
- A VIP-only product rule
- A country restriction rule
- A members-only collection rule
All of these rules can run at once, and Roadmap enforces them automatically.
How Multiple Rules Work
- Rules Run in Parallel
- If the customer qualifies for more than one rule, both rules will apply.
- More Specific Rules Take Priority
- If two rules overlap, the narrower (more specific) rule wins.
- Example:
- Rule 1: All logged-in customers can see Collection A.
- Rule 2: Only VIP customers can see Product X (inside Collection A).
- Result: Product X stays hidden from non-VIPs, even though they can see Collection A.
- Rules Can Layer Together
- You can use multiple conditions to create granular logic.
- Example:
- Rule 1: “Secret Collection” visible only to logged-in members.
- Rule 2: Within that collection, “Exclusive Hoodie” visible only to UK customers.
- Result: Only logged-in UK members can see the hoodie.
Best Practices for Multiple Rules
- Keep rules specific to avoid unintended overlaps.
- Use clear rule names (e.g., “VIP Collection – Members Only”) so you can easily identify them later.
- Test your rules by logging in as a test customer with different conditions (VIP, non-member, different country, etc.).
Common Questions
- Can rules contradict each other?
- Yes – so consider the rules you create to keep them simple, but effective.
- Will too many rules slow down my store?
- No — rules are lightweight and optimized to run in the background.
- Can I temporarily turn off a rule without deleting it?
- Yes — use the Active Dates setting to pause a rule, or set to draft.

Summary
Yes — you can apply multiple Tag Library rules at once. Roadmap checks all rules in parallel and applies them automatically. If rules overlap, the more specific rule takes priority, ensuring customers always see the correct version of your store.
