Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCashShield helps Shopify merchants control when Cash on Delivery is available at checkout. Create rules based on cart value or item count, product type or tags, customer tags or order count, and the delivery postal (pin) code, city, state, or country to decide when COD is shown, hidden, renamed, or reordered. Rules are managed inside Shopify admin, with no code or theme edits.
Cash on Delivery orders are refused at the door more often than prepaid orders, and each refused parcel costs a merchant twice: shipping out and shipping back. This app reduces that by guiding shoppers toward prepaid payment at checkout. Merchants build rules that show prepaid first, rename Cash on Delivery, hide it for risky carts, or block checkout for conditions like country or cart value.
