What's new in Hand-E Checkout Rules

October 17, 2026

• New look for the app and a new app icon.
• The plans now state the requirement precisely: no Shopify Plus needed, from the Basic plan up.
• The notice when you end a plan now correctly says that the Free plan applies again afterwards and your rules keep running.
• The last payment and shipping method now also stays when several rules together would hide everything. Before, the app only checked this within a single rule. The app takes over your existing rules on its own the next time you open it.
• All payment rules now share one time window, and so do all shipping rules.

• Hand-E Checkout Rules is on the Shopify App Store.
• New versions of the terms of service (1.4) and the privacy policy (1.12). The app asks you to accept them once.
• In the English interface, the links lead to the English versions of the legal texts.
• The app serves its fonts itself instead of loading them from Google.
• The field “Customer's previous orders” now says that only logged-in customers are recognized and every guest counts as new.
• Shopify's review window appears at the earliest one day after your first rule, and only while a rule is active.

• Three equal buttons to create rules: New payment rule, New shipping rule and New checkout block, each with the icon of its area.
• While you write a checkout block, a preview shows how your message looks at checkout.
• Without an active subscription the Free plan applies. If you reinstall on the Free plan, you can keep working right away.

• Each rule has its own switch in the list to turn it on and off. Deleting is now in the editor.
• The list is grouped into payment methods, shipping methods and checkout block.
• In the editor, a bar with Save and Cancel stays at the bottom, and it also shows what is still missing.
• A new rule starts with a prepared row, a new checkout block with the condition “Cart value at most”.
• A checkout block without a condition can no longer be saved, because it would have blocked every checkout.

• Hand-E Payment Rules becomes Hand-E Checkout Rules. New: shipping rules to hide, rename and move, and checkout blocks with your own message.
• Cart value counts without shipping and taxes.
• A checkout block only applies at checkout and doesn't hold up changes in the cart.
• If a condition isn't known yet, such as the shipping country before the address, the rule no longer drops out entirely. Hiding applies when in doubt.
• Country codes are checked when you save, UK becomes GB.
• The Standard trial lasts 14 days instead of 7.

September 18, 2026

• A condition on cart value or spend so far can name a currency. Without one, the app converts into your store's currency.

September 8, 2026

• New rule editor: you pick conditions from a list and add them with “Add condition”.
• “and” and “or” can be chosen per condition.
• Three new conditions on the cart: Product in cart has tag, Product title in cart and Product in cart from collection.
• Numbers can also be compared with “exactly”.
• When moving, you drag the rows into the order you want.
• A Free plan with one rule, and Standard for more rules.
