Rules by cart, region & product
Hide, rename, or reorder cash on delivery based on cart total, destination, or the products in the basket — so COD only shows where it works.
A QodeBites Shopify app
Show cash on delivery only when it makes sense
COD Optimizer decides when cash on delivery appears at Shopify checkout — with rules for cart total, region, products, and customer risk. Cut refused deliveries and return-to-origin losses without turning away the customers who genuinely pay on delivery.
Free plan available · Runs inside Shopify checkout (Functions)
WHY WE BUILT IT
We build our own Shopify apps, not just client stores. COD Optimizer came straight out of running COD-heavy stores across Egypt and the Gulf, where refused deliveries and returns quietly eat the margin. It runs on Shopify Functions inside checkout, so the rules apply natively — no theme hacks.
Control cash on delivery, order by order
COD risk score
Combine address quality, order history, and discount usage into one threshold that flags risky COD orders before they ship.
Guided rule templates
Create a working COD rule by filling in a single value — no complex conditions to wire up.
Backtest & simulator
Test a rule against your last 30–90 days of orders before it goes live, so you know its effect before you flip it on.
Per-rule impact reporting
Every rule is tied to the orders it actually affected, so you can see exactly what each one saved.
English & Arabic admin (RTL)
The full admin works in English and Arabic with right-to-left support — built for MENA teams.

Questions
Common questions about COD Optimizer.
What does COD Optimizer do?
It controls when cash on delivery is offered at Shopify checkout using rules for cart total, region, products, and a customer risk score — so you cut refused deliveries and return-to-origin losses without losing the orders that genuinely pay on delivery.
Is there a free plan?
Yes — a Free Forever plan matches up to 60 COD orders a month with unlimited rules, all templates, and a 30-day backtest. Pro ($9.99/mo) and Unlimited ($24.99/mo) add the risk score, per-rule analytics, a longer backtest, and higher or uncapped order matching. Install free from the Shopify App Store.
How does it cut refused deliveries?
COD refusals and returns-to-origin usually cluster around certain regions, high cart values, or risky addresses. COD Optimizer lets you hide or restrict cash on delivery exactly where it loses money, and its risk score flags shaky COD orders before they ship — while keeping COD available where it converts.
Does it work for Arabic / MENA stores?
Yes. The admin is fully available in English and Arabic with RTL support, and it was built for the COD-heavy markets across Egypt and the Gulf. It runs on Shopify Functions inside checkout.
Who built COD Optimizer?
COD Optimizer is built and maintained by QodeBites, an official Shopify Partner and e-commerce development agency. We build our own Shopify apps and custom stores for ambitious brands.
