Shopify Plus app

COD Fee Pro

Charge customers a fee when they pick Cash on Delivery at checkout. Per-market pricing, automatic application, zero manual work after install.

01 — Why

The cost of Cash on Delivery is real.

Cash on Delivery raises return rates, ties up working capital, and adds courier handling fees most merchants quietly absorb. In some markets it’s nearly half of all orders — too expensive to refuse, too costly to ignore.

COD Fee Pro lets you pass a small, transparent surcharge to customers who choose Cash on Delivery. Customers who pay upfront aren’t penalised. Customers who want COD see the fee clearly at checkout and can choose to switch payment methods.

02 — How it works

One install. Done.

1. Install on your Plus store

On install we automatically create a hidden “Cash on Delivery Fee” product in your catalogue and publish it to your Online Store sales channel. You don’t need to configure anything.

2. Set your default fee

Open the app dashboard inside Shopify Admin and set the default fee amount in your store’s base currency. That’s the only configuration step.

3. Add the block to checkout

In the checkout customizer, drag the COD Fee Pro block onto the payment step. No fields to fill in — the block reads its configuration directly from the store.

4. Customers see the fee, you collect it

When a customer selects Cash on Delivery, the fee is added as a regular line item. Switching to Credit Card removes it. Orders complete normally with the fee included in the total.

03 — Features

Built for real Plus operations.

Per-market pricing

Set different fee amounts for different markets in your Shopify Markets settings — €3.49 in the EU, 49 SEK in Sweden, 100 RON in Romania. The banner and the cart line both respect the market price automatically.

Per-market wording

The checkout banner ships with a sensible English default. If you want to translate it or adjust the wording, you can override the text per-market in the checkout customizer. Placeholders for amount and currency are filled in at runtime.

Self-healing setup

Accidentally delete the COD Fee product? Open the app once and it recreates and re-publishes itself. You don’t need to think about it.

Real line item, real reporting

The fee is a regular Shopify product line, not a tax adjustment or hidden surcharge. It shows up in your order reports, exports cleanly to your accounting, and refunds normally.

GDPR-friendly by design

We don’t store any customer data. The app only knows about your shop domain, your OAuth token, and the fee amount you configured. See the Privacy Policy for full detail.

04 — Requirements

What you need.

  • An active Shopify Plus plan.
  • Access to the checkout customizer for at least one checkout configuration.
  • Cash on Delivery enabled as a manual payment method (or any payment method using paymentOnDelivery).
05 — Pricing

Simple, flat monthly subscription.

$7.99 per month, with a 14-day free trial. No per-order fees, no hidden costs, no upsells. Billed through your Shopify invoice along with your other apps.

06 — Questions

Common questions.

Will customers actually still pick Cash on Delivery?

Yes — if it’s the option they trust, they will, even with a small fee. What changes is the share of customers who pick it. Many merchants see meaningful migration to prepayment after introducing a transparent surcharge.

Does the fee respect discount codes and promotions?

Customer-facing discount codes apply to your products as normal. The COD fee is added as a separate line item with its own behaviour, configurable per-market.

Can I exclude certain customers (B2B, wholesale)?

Currently the fee applies whenever Cash on Delivery is selected. Customer-segment exclusions are on our roadmap. If you need this, let us know — merchant feedback drives our priorities.

What happens when I uninstall?

The COD Fee product remains in your catalogue (you can delete it). All app sessions in our database are deleted within 48 hours of uninstall, per our privacy policy.
