How it sells itself

Checkout shows every delivery option and payment method you offer, to everyone. This app lets you decide otherwise. Build a rule from a template or from scratch: hide express shipping under a cart value, rename a carrier code nobody recognises, move your preferred payment method to the top, or block checkout when the postal code is outside the area you deliver to, with your own message on the field that is wrong.

Kurb hides or renames delivery methods at checkout. Start from a template, pick methods from your own shipping rates, and add conditions such as cart total, weight, products, collections, customer tags, B2B buyers, states or pincodes. Rules run in the order you set, and each one reads as a plain sentence. Before you save, the simulator shows what checkout will show for a sample cart and address.

Key points
  • Hide, reorder or rename delivery options based on cart, customer or address
  • Same for payment methods, so cash on delivery only shows where you want it
  • Block checkout on cart total, postal code, email or a missing address line
  • 21 templates covering the rules merchants ask for most, editable after use
  • Hide or rename delivery methods by cart, product, customer or address
  • Pick methods from your own shipping rates, no typing names by hand
  • Test a sample cart and address before a rule goes live
