What is SMART Checkout Rules?
Worth flagging upfront: this isn't an upsell app. SMART Checkout Rules lets merchants hide, block, sort or rename payment and shipping methods at checkout based on conditions like country, customer tag, cart value or product, mainly for fraud prevention, B2B logic or streamlining delivery options. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a perfect 5.0/5 rating on 420 reviews. It's developed by E-Trade Partner, based in Poland, and launched in September 2024.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants build conditional rules through Shopify's checkout, payment and delivery customization functions: for example, hiding Cash on Delivery for high-risk orders, renaming a payment method for a specific region, or reordering shipping options by cart total. Everything runs through Shopify's native checkout extension framework rather than custom scripts. The app covers 18 languages, including French, German, Spanish and Japanese.
Why choose this app for checkout customization?
Since it solves a genuinely different problem than the other apps in this list (payment and shipping logic rather than product upsells), it's worth installing alongside an upsell app rather than instead of one, if a store needs both. The completely free pricing removes any cost barrier compared to competitors in the checkout-rules space that charge from the first tier. Reviews consistently describe support resolving specific rule conflicts by name, though the relatively short time on the App Store since September 2024 means less long-term track record than some checkout-rule competitors.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Conditional hiding, blocking, sorting or renaming of payment and shipping methods.
- Fraud-prevention logic, such as blocking risky payment methods by rule.
- B2B and international checkout customization, without custom code.
