### Cancel Before X Hours

Minimum hours before the pickup date that a customer can cancel. Set to `0` to allow cancellation at any time. Setting to `48` prevents cancellation within 2 days of pickup.

Default: 0

### Accept Cancel If Order Total < Amount

Allow cancellation only if the order total is less than this amount. Set to a very high value (e.g., `9999999`) to allow cancellation of all orders. Set to `0` to prevent all cancellations via this rule.

Default: 1

{% hint style="info" %}
**Both conditions apply:** Cancellation is allowed only when *both* the hours condition and the amount condition are satisfied simultaneously.
{% endhint %}
