What Shopify can't do on its own

Shopify shows every customer the same payment and shipping methods, in the same order. And it accepts every order, however small. Changing that used to take Shopify Plus and a developer.

Payment, shipping, blocks. One app.

You decide what your customer sees at checkout. And when they can't order.

Payment methods

Hide, rename, reorder. Invoice only from the second order, cash on delivery only at home, the favorite method on top.

Shipping methods

Hide express for bulky items. Rename “Standard” to “Delivery in 2 to 3 days”.

Switch rules on and off one by one

Switch a seasonal rule off instead of deleting it. Next time it's still there, with all its conditions.

The rule list in Hand-E Checkout Rules, grouped by payment, shipping and checkout block, each rule with its own switch: the seasonal express rule is switched off

Checkout blocks

Stop orders under $50. Your customer reads your message, such as “Orders from $50”.

Discount for bank transfer

A button in the cart: “Pay by bank transfer and save 2%”. At checkout the customer gets the discount and only that payment method.

Common questions about Hand-E Checkout Rules

Where do the rules apply, and where don't they?
At checkout. Not in the cart and not at your shop counter (Point of Sale). Payment rules don't apply in Shop Pay either. Those are Shopify's limits, not the app's.
How does the app know whether someone is a repeat customer?
Shopify tells it at checkout as soon as the customer is logged in or enters the email address of their customer account. No login is needed for that. Anyone who enters an email without a customer account counts as a new customer. We measured this in a real checkout. If the email alone shouldn't be enough, add “or Customer is logged in: no” to the rule.
Why isn't my express shipping rate in first place?
Shopify requires the cheapest shipping rate to come first and be preselected. The app keeps to that: a more expensive rate moves up to second place at most.
Do I need Shopify Plus to hide payment or shipping methods?
No. The app works in every Shopify store from the Basic plan up. Shopify requires that for payment and shipping rules from apps.
Can I set a minimum order value?
Yes. You set up a block, say for carts under $50, with a message like “Orders are possible from $50.” Your customer reads it at checkout. They can order once their items add up to $50. Shipping doesn't count.
Can I give a discount for bank transfer?
Yes. You create a payment discount: percentage, minimum order value and the text of the button in the cart. Customers who go to checkout through that button get the discount and see only the payment method you chose. The payment discount counts as one rule. The normal checkout button, the express buttons and Shop Pay don't get the discount.
Can Apple Pay and Google Pay be renamed?
Hiding yes, renaming and moving no. Shopify doesn't allow it, for Shop Pay either.
Can I put a surcharge into the name?
You can, but it won't be charged. The app only changes the name. Write “Cash on delivery (+$5.90)” and that's exactly what checkout shows, but the $5.90 won't be on the bill.
What happens if my rules match every payment or shipping method?
Then the app hides nothing there. Your customer can always pay and pick a shipping method.
What happens to my rules if I uninstall the app?
Then your checkout looks like before: all payment and shipping methods, no blocks.
