Use Cases of Magento 2 Shipping Restriction
Use case 1: Set new shipping restrictions based on cart attributes

- Set rules based on the cart's subtotal - the total value of the shopping cart.
- Set rules based on the cart's total item - the number of items inside.
- Set rules based on the cart's total weight - the weight of all items in the cart.
For example, with carts that weigh more than 10kg and worth more than $200, you can add more shipping fees and a new carrier that can handle heavy shipment. For carts under 10kg, the fees and the number of carriers stay the same.
Use case 2: Set shipping limits based on payment methods

Default Magento technical limitations:
- A default Magento store has limited possibilities to set rules for shipping with locations.
