Hide COD for Specific Products or Collections

Use a Product tag or Collection condition to hide COD only when certain items are in the cart — without affecting COD availability store-wide.

Setup (product tag)

Tag the products that should not allow COD (e.g. no-cod) in Shopify admin → Products, then:

1. Create customization > Hide payment methods.
2. Add Product tag → Matches any item → Is one of → no-cod.
3. Target COD: Pre-defined → Cash on Delivery, or Text contains if the checkout label differs.
4. Active, Save, and verify at checkout with a tagged product in the cart.

Example: hide Cash on Delivery when any cart item carries the "no-cod" product tag

Alternatives

• Collection — add restricted products to a “No COD” collection instead of tagging each one.
• Variant SKU — match SKU prefixes with Text contains (e.g. FRAG- for fragile items).
• Product type — match Shopify’s product type field (e.g. Digital).

All of these work with the same Hide payment methods action.

Scope: any item vs all items

Matches any item hides COD if at least one tagged product is in the cart. Use Matches all items if COD should only be hidden when every item in the cart carries the tag.
