See every featureAdvanced Checkout helps merchants tailor payment and delivery at Shopify checkout with flexible rules. Hide COD for high-value orders, restrict shipping by pincode or country, rename methods for clarity, or reorder options to highlight preferred choices. Stack conditions like order total, products, location, phone, delivery method, and customer tags—all evaluated live as buyers update cart and address.
Cash on delivery is useful until it isn't. PayShield hides it above a cart total you set, or for first-time customers, so fewer parcels come back unpaid. The same rule builder controls every payment method and shipping rate: hide, show only, rename or move to the top.
- Hide payment & delivery methods by single or multiple conditions.
- Sort payment & delivery methods by single or multiple conditions.
- Rename payment & delivery methods by single or multiple conditions.
- Hide cash on delivery above a cart total you choose
- Show only chosen payment methods for international or wholesale orders
- Rename or reorder payment methods so your preferred option is first
