A shipping rule is a saved carrier + product + services + sender address. Apply attaches that rule to an order or a draft/pending shipment so you do not pick carrier fields by hand. Building the rule: Shipping rule fields. Journey: Shipping rules.
Apply is not the same as Create Shipment. Applying writes shippingRuleId (and may copy carrier settings onto existing draft/pending shipments). Creating still happens from Create Shipment.

Where Configure appears

Both cards use header Configure.

Fields

Apply stays disabled when there is no orderId, rules are still loading, you picked a rule id but the list is empty, or a service point is required and none is selected.

Order Shipping rule modal — Rule defaults to No shipping rule (manual)

This order has no shipments yet, so Also apply to {n} existing shipment(s) is hidden. Pick a named rule on an order that already has draft or pending shipments to see it.
1

Open Configure

On the order Shipping rule card.
2

Pick a Rule

Choose a named rule, or No shipping rule (manual) to clear it.
3

Existing shipments

Leave Also apply to {n} existing shipment(s) on to patch every draft and pending shipment. Turn it off to change only the order. Processing / Dispatched / Error rows are not in this count.
4

Service Point (if shown)

If the rule’s product is a shop product and an eligible shipment has no point yet, complete Service Point * — see below.
5

Apply

Saves the order, then applies the rule to those shipments when the checkbox is on.
Toasts from the shipment apply path: Shipping rule applied successfully / Failed to apply shipping rule. Order save: Order updated successfully / Failed to update order. Already-imported shop ids (for example from checkout) are kept. Only shipments without servicePointId get the point you pick here.

​
Shipment modal

Configure opens modalId="shipment-shipping-rule". There is no “also apply to other shipments” checkbox — this modal updates this shipment only.

Shipment Shipping rule modal — Rule select

​
Service Point block (both modals)

Shown when the selected rule’s product has isServicePoint and (order: you are applying to eligible shipments that still lack a point; shipment: this shipment has no servicePointId yet). Select Service Point switches the same modal to the picker (title Select Service Point, Confirm Selection, Back). Pick a service point. Apply stays disabled until a point is selected when this block is required.

​
When apply is locked

Creating from an order when a rule is already on the order uses Shipping rule inside Create Shipment (hint Carrier, product, services and sender address come from the order’s shipping rule.) with Configure carrier manually instead — that is create, not this Apply modal. Create a shipment.
You are done when the card shows the rule name and Active, or No rule / Manual setup if you cleared it. Then send if the shipment is still pending.
