# Setting the priority for cart rules in PrestaShop 1.5

When working with your cart rules, you may have more than one set up for a specific customer or group. It is important to have them run in the proper order for proper accounting! For instance, if you have two cart rules, one for 25% off and one for 50% off, you may want the 25% rule to take effect before the 50%. It would cost more to use the 50% before the 25%.

In order to have the cart rules process in the correct order, you need to set the priority levels. The lower the priority level, the sooner it runs. For instance level 1 processes before level 2, which processes before level 3, etc.

**Setting the priority for cart rules in PrestaShop 1.5**

1. [Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 admin dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/).
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Price Rules** tab and click on the **Cart Rules** option.

3. You are now on the **Cart Rules** screen. Locate the rule you want to edit and click on the **Edit** icon on the right side of that specific row. The icon looks like a pencil and paper.

4. Now that you are in the **Cart Rules** edit screen. Look for the field labeled **Priority**. From here set the numeric priority you desire. 1 is the default priority. The lower the number, the higher the priority, so priorities of 1 will process before priorities of 2, etc.[![cart-rule-priority](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/edu_prestashop1.5_Price_Rules_Cart_Rules_Priority_cart-rule-priority.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/edu_prestashop1.5_Price_Rules_Cart_Rules_Priority_cart-rule-priority.png)
5. Once your setting is selected, click on the green **Save** button in the upper right corner. The new priority setting will now take effect.
