What Advanced COD did, and what replaces it

Advanced Cash on Delivery feature2026 replacement
Enable COD as a payment option (India)Native: Settings → Payments → Manual payment methods → Cash on Delivery. All countries, no app needed
Additional COD feeA dedicated COD shipping rate linked to the payment method via a Functions app like ACOD: per-zone amounts, undodgeable
Restrict COD by order valueMin/max order-value conditions in a payment customization
Serviceability / pincode controlPin-code rules with prefix matching: cleaner than the CSV uploads of the old era
COD-specific shipping behaviorTwo-way link between COD and specific shipping rates: beyond what the official app did

Why the replacements are actually better

The official app predated Shopify Functions and worked only for Indian stores. Functions-based payment and delivery customizations run natively inside checkout on every plan and every country, support far richer conditions (products, collections, customer tags, discounts, weight, B2B), and don't depend on a single official app's roadmap, which is the reason the shutdown hurt in the first place. The one thing you lose is “free”: the official app cost nothing, while Functions rule apps are typically $5–10/month (the honest field guide, including the free options and their trade-offs).

The 15-minute rebuild

  1. Confirm the manual Cash on Delivery payment method is active (it's independent of the dead app).
  2. Create your COD fee rate(s) in Settings → Shipping and delivery (quick start).
  3. Install a rules app (ours: ACOD, $4.99–9.99/month, 7-day trial) and link the rates.
  4. Re-create your old restrictions: order-value caps, pincode lists (prefixes make old CSV lists dramatically shorter), and any product exclusions.
  5. Verify with testing mode, then go live.

Rebuild your COD setup in 15 minutes

ACOD restores the fee, pincode rules (now with prefixes), and value caps through native shipping rates, so taxes and refunds stay correct, and adds the shipping-method link the official app never had. From $4.99/month, 7-day free trial, Built for Shopify.

Preguntas frecuentes

Why was Advanced Cash on Delivery shut down?

Shopify retired the standalone official app as its checkout stack moved to Shopify Functions; COD customization is now served by native manual payment methods plus Functions-based apps rather than a single official tool.

Do I still have COD without the app?

Yes: the Cash on Delivery manual payment method is native Shopify and unaffected. What you lost is the fee and the restriction rules, which any Functions-based COD rules app rebuilds.

Is there a free replacement for Advanced Cash on Delivery?

Payflow has a free single-rule tier and Snap COD is free (3.2★, test carefully). Paid specialists like ACOD ($4.99+) or Releasit (free to 60 COD orders/month, then $9.99+) are the mainstream replacements.
