How it sells itself

CODSwitch helps merchants collect Cash on Delivery fees using shipping rates they create in Shopify. Link COD to eligible rates so the payment method appears only after a buyer selects a rate that clearly includes the fee. Apply cart value, product, discount, and location rules, then preview the experience before testing checkout.

COD Rules helps Shopify merchants control when Cash on Delivery is available at checkout. Create flexible rules based on cart value, products, collections, customer type, and delivery location to decide when COD should be shown or hidden. With an easy-to-use interface, flexible rule configuration, merchants can update COD logic without coding.

Key points
  • Collect COD fees through shipping rates
  • Show COD only for linked delivery rates
  • Apply cart, product, discount, and location rules
  • Preview COD eligibility before testing checkout
  • Restrict COD by cart value, create customer-specific COD rules
  • Block COD for selected products or collections
  • Manage COD by pincode, state, or country, enable or disable rules anytime

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
