Best COD Apps for Shopify in 2026: Compared

How We Picked These

We scoped this list to apps whose primary job is reducing COD RTO or converting COD orders to prepaid, the same ground CODFlip is built for, rather than every app that merely mentions Cash on Delivery. Every rating, review count, and price below is pulled directly from each app's live Shopify App Store listing, linked in Sources, accessed August 2026.

We looked at one additional app, Shiprocket Engage, and left it out of the featured list below. At the time of writing it carried a 2.9-star rating from only 4 total reviews¹, too small a sample to say anything reliable about it either way, and we would rather exclude an app than rank it on a coin flip's worth of data.

At a Glance

CODFlip

CODFlip estimates the real RTO cost of every individual COD order (forward shipping, return shipping, and restocking) the moment it is placed, then sends a targeted WhatsApp nudge with a one-tap payment link to convert it to prepaid. On Pro, a Smart Incentive Engine sizes the discount per order instead of applying one flat rate to everyone. It also includes OTP Verification, Partial COD, a COD Fee, and message-timing controls (Quiet Hours and Expiry Reminders).

Pricing: Free (₹0/month, 20 WhatsApp messages included) or Pro (₹1,199/month, 250 messages included), plus ₹1.20 to ₹1.50 per message after quota. No percentage of order value on either plan. Full detail in CODFlip Pricing: COD App Plans & WhatsApp Costs (2026).

COD King

COD King (935 reviews, 5.0★ on the Shopify App Store²) offers OTP verification via SMS or WhatsApp, Partial COD, a COD Fee, and a flat prepaid discount, reporting verified versus unverified orders in its dashboard. It is one of the highest-review-count apps in this category.

Pricing: Free (Standard) up to $39/month (Enterprise), plus a per-transaction fee of 0.5 to 1% specifically on Partial Payments, on top of the subscription. We covered the full feature and pricing breakdown in CODFlip vs COD King: Best Shopify COD App (2026).

GoKwik (Kwik COD & Checkout)

GoKwik (405 reviews, 4.7★³) is not a single COD app so much as a full checkout-replacement platform: Kwik Checkout, a Smart COD Suite (COD blocking, OTP, CAPTCHA, Partial COD), cart upsells, retention, and ad tools, backed by $68 million in funding and used by 15,000-plus brands.

Pricing: Free (limited) up to $29.99/month by order volume, plus a 2.5% transaction fee on prepaid payments processed through its own checkout aggregator. We went deep on this one in CODFlip vs GoKwik: Shopify COD & RTO Tools Compared (2026), including its published case studies and its real Shopify review distribution.

Hillteck

Hillteck (155 reviews, 4.9★⁴) stands out for combining automated IVR (voice call) verification with WhatsApp-based order confirmation, on top of the more standard OTP verification and COD-to-prepaid conversion with custom incentives most apps in this category offer. It also includes abandoned cart recovery and cross-sell messaging over WhatsApp.

Pricing: Free to install, with additional charges for calls and messages sent beyond what the free tier covers.

Cashfree CODFIRM

Cashfree CODFIRM (44 reviews, 4.4★⁵) combines OTP verification, dynamic COD blocking by pincode, product, order value, and customer risk profile, address prefill, and WhatsApp order-status notifications, backed by Cashfree's existing payments infrastructure.

Pricing: Free up to roughly $0.02 per COD order for stores under 100 orders/month, then Pro at $5/month, Premium at $9.99/month plus $0.01 per OTP, and Enterprise at $50/month with reduced per-order fees. This is the only app on this list priced primarily per order rather than per message or as a flat subscription.

Releasit COD Form & Upsells

Releasit (2,676 reviews, 4.9★⁶) is the highest-review-count app in this category by a wide margin, though it solves a different problem than the others here: it replaces standard Shopify checkout with a dedicated one-click COD order form, built specifically for dropshipping stores, with pre- and post-purchase upsells, quantity offers, OTP verification, and native event tracking to Facebook, TikTok, Google, Pinterest, and Snapchat.

Pricing: Free for up to 60 orders/month, $9.99/month (Premium, up to 360 orders), or $29.99/month (Enterprise, unlimited), with SMS billed separately.

COD Toolkit by Breeze

COD Toolkit (15 reviews, 5.0★⁷), built by Juspay, is the narrowest app on this list by design: it only blocks COD based on merchant-set rules (price range, region, and similar conditions) and lets you rename the COD payment option at checkout. It does not verify orders, convert COD to prepaid, or estimate RTO cost.

Pricing: Fully free. It is the right pick if all you want is rule-based COD blocking and nothing else; it is not a substitute for a conversion or verification tool.

How to Choose

• Want to replace your entire checkout and are prepared for a 2.5% fee on prepaid volume: GoKwik's breadth is the point.
• Want the highest-review-count, most battle-tested point solution: COD King, weighing its per-transaction fee on Partial Payments into your cost.
• Run a single-product dropshipping-style store and want a dedicated order form with upsells: Releasit.
• Want voice (IVR) verification on top of WhatsApp: Hillteck.
• Already use Cashfree for payments and want tightly integrated per-order pricing: Cashfree CODFIRM.
• Just need simple rule-based COD blocking and nothing else, for free: COD Toolkit.
• Want per-order RTO cost estimation driving a targeted WhatsApp nudge, with flat pricing and no percentage cut of order value: CODFlip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this roundup biased since CODFlip wrote it?

We are CODFlip, so read it with that in mind. Every rating, review count, and price for every other app is sourced directly to its own Shopify App Store listing, and we have reported CODFlip's own numbers, including its current review count, with the same honesty.

Can I run more than one of these apps at the same time?

Technically most can be installed together, but running two apps that both verify COD orders or both nudge customers toward prepaid risks conflicting checkout behavior and duplicate customer messages. Most merchants pick one primary COD-conversion app rather than stacking several.

Which of these apps is cheapest?

COD Toolkit by Breeze is fully free, though it only blocks COD by rule rather than converting orders to prepaid. Among apps that actively convert COD to prepaid, CODFlip and Hillteck both have usable free tiers with no percentage cut of order value.

Do any of these apps charge a percentage of my order value?

GoKwik charges a 2.5% aggregator fee on prepaid payments processed through its own checkout, and COD King charges 0.5 to 1% per transaction on Partial Payments depending on plan. CODFlip, Hillteck, and COD Toolkit do not charge a percentage of order value on any plan.
