Checkout mockup: Hide COD outside the EU

Hides the Cash on Delivery (COD) payment method when Shipping country is not one of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

Why use it

The problem it solves

Cash on Delivery is trusted across much of Europe, but outside the EU it often becomes a liability: higher fraud, costly return-to-origin (RTO) failures, and cash-handling headaches. Offering COD to every country by default invites exactly the orders you least want to fulfill.

Benefits

What you get

Cuts high-risk COD orders from regions where you can’t reliably collect.

Keeps COD available for EU shoppers who expect it — without turning it off everywhere.

Reduces RTO losses and chargeback exposure on cross-border orders.

Pre-loaded with all 27 EU countries, so setup is essentially one click.

FAQ

Questions

Hide COD outside the EU

Does COD disappear for everyone?

No. COD stays visible for shoppers in the 27 EU countries. It’s hidden only when the shipping country is outside that list.

Can I customize which countries keep COD?

Yes. The EU-27 is just a starting point — edit the country list to match exactly where you’re comfortable offering Cash on Delivery.

What if my COD option has a different name?

Matching is by the method’s checkout label. If yours reads “Cash on delivery” or a translated label, update the method name in the rule after importing.
