Features
Every rule you need. Nothing you don't.
Six precision dimensions that combine into any COD policy your operations team can dream up.
Product & tag rules
Disable COD on high-value, fragile, or fraud-prone SKUs. Tag products with COD_BLOCKED or pick up to 25 specific products to exclude — no bulk edits needed.
Customer-tag targeting
Tag risky or repeat-return customers with COD_BLOCKED and they instantly lose the COD option at checkout. Great for winning back trust after chargebacks.
Order-value thresholds
Set minimum and maximum cart totals for which COD is available. Perfect for capping cash exposure or nudging low-ticket buyers to prepay.
Complex include / exclude logic
Combine any rules with clean include / exclude priorities. Model exceptions like 'India, except Kashmir, except pincode 190001' without spreadsheets.

Why merchants use it
Install Free on ShopifyFewer failed deliveries. Healthier margins. Happier ops team.
COD is a growth engine — until it isn't. COD Rules gives you the scalpel you need to keep the good and cut the bad.
Cut RTO losses at the source
Every failed COD delivery costs you shipping both ways, packaging, and time. Block COD where it hurts and watch RTO drop.
Protect margins on risky SKUs
Fragile electronics, jewelry, high-ticket items — restrict COD by product tag so only prepaid orders go out.
Stay in control of cash flow
Cap COD orders by value, region, or customer. Predictable collections, fewer surprises for finance.
Win back trust with problem customers
One tag, and repeat-return customers can only prepay. Keep them as customers without losing money on them.
Use cases
Real playbooks that pay for themselves.
Stop COD from tier-3 pincodes with high RTO
Allow COD across India, then block the top 50 problem pincodes your ops team flagged. Instant RTO relief without hurting good customers.
Prepaid-only above ₹15,000
Set a cart-value ceiling for COD on high-ticket SKUs. Big orders come in prepaid; smaller ones still enjoy COD.
Block COD for serial returners
Tag chronic-return customers with COD_BLOCKED. They can still shop, they just have to prepay.
Region-specific launches
Rolling out to a new state? Allow COD only there while you learn the logistics, without touching other regions.
