Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePaylock lets you control which discount codes should not be used with Cash on Delivery orders. If a restricted discount is applied and the customer selects Cash on Delivery, Paylock blocks checkout and shows a clear message explaining that the discount is not available for COD orders. This helps prevent misuse of influencer codes, promotional discounts etc on COD payments.
Make products pickup-only, local-delivery-only, shipping-only, or unavailable for selected delivery types. With Pro, restrict manual rules by destination country—for example, make alcohol pickup-only in Finland and Sweden while normal shipping remains elsewhere. Automate rules by collection, tag, vendor, or product type. Preview results in Simulator, catch setup issues, show Cart Warnings, and review coverage.
- Block Cash on Delivery for selected discount codes
- Apply rules instantly without editing your discounts
- Customise the message shown at checkout
- Enable or disable rules anytime
- Block shipping for products tagged ship:pickup_only
- Keep local pickup available when shipping is blocked
- Show customers a cart warning before checkout
