Best shipping rules apps for Shopify in 2026: 7 compared

Shipping rules apps decide which delivery methods shoppers see at checkout, what those methods are called and in what order they appear. Some of them also calculate the rates themselves. This guide compares seven of them for small and mid-sized Shopify stores, based on what each App Store listing says.

Quick answer: ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules is the best-proven pick for most stores, with a 5.0 rating from 1,238 reviews and both conditional rates and hide, rename and reorder from $9.99/month. If you only need to control the delivery methods you already have, OCT Hide Shipping Methods does it for $3.99/month and is Built for Shopify.

What to look for in a shipping rules app

A good shipping rules app matches the job you actually have: creating new shipping rates, or controlling the delivery methods you already set up in Shopify.

The apps here fall into two groups. Rate calculators (ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules and Intuitive Shipping) build rates from things like weight, zip code or distance, and also control how those rates show. Delivery customization apps (OCT Hide Shipping Methods, ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules, ShipRight Hide Shipping Method, DS Hide Payment Hide Shipping and SO: Shipping rules) do not create rates. They hide, show, rename or reorder the methods your store already offers. If your existing rates are fine and you just need control, the second group is simpler and cheaper.

With that split in mind, compare apps on these points:

• Actions: can it hide, rename, reorder and sort methods, or only some of these?
• Conditions: country, zip code, cart total, weight, product, collection, customer tag, B2B company and date or time.
• Rule logic: AND/OR groups let you write one rule instead of several, and some apps keep OR logic for top plans.
• Live-store cost: most free plans here only work on development, sandbox or test stores.
• Extras: estimated delivery dates, rule import and export, payment method rules or carrier rates.
• Proof: review count, rating and Built for Shopify status.

Shipping rules apps compared

The seven shipping rules apps below differ most in type (rate calculator or delivery customization) and in whether you can use them on a live store for free.

How we compared: we read each app's Shopify App Store listing in November 2026. We read only the three reviews shown on the ShipRight Hide Shipping Method listing (all positive) and no low-star reviews, so review themes play a small part here. Prices and ratings can change, so check each listing before you install.

The apps in detail

The seven shipping rules apps below are ordered by how well they serve most merchants on the evidence: features, pricing, review count and fit.

ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules

ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules by Logbase is a full custom rate calculator that also hides, renames and reorders rates at checkout. It sets rates by cart total, weight, quantity, product, zone, volume, zip or postcode, city and distance, with tiered and incremental rates and rate blending that combines several rates into one. The Premium plan adds AI-based packing by box size and weight, plus carrier-based rates that work with DHL, FedEx, UPS, USPS, Australia Post and Canada Post. The listing is available in 7 languages.

Pricing: a free plan for setup and testing in testing mode. Starter is $9.99/month or $107.99/year, Smart $24.99/month or $269.99/year, Premium $34.99/month or $377.99/year, and an Enterprise plan is on the pricing page. Paid plans have a 14-day free trial.

Best for: merchants who need custom rates and also want to hide, rename or reorder them, with the largest review base in this list.

Watch out for: the listing says renaming, hiding and reordering work without Shopify's Carrier Calculated Shipping (CCS) API from Starter, but other conditions require it, so check that your Shopify plan supports CCS. Product-based rates, customer-based rates and address restrictions start at Smart, and carrier and dimension rates are Premium only. It does not show a Built for Shopify badge.

OCT Hide Shipping Methods

OCT Hide Shipping Methods by Octolize LTD puts every hide, sort and rename feature on one low-cost plan, with AND/OR rule logic. Rules follow a "when this condition, then this action" pattern. You can hide methods by cart total, weight, quantity, date, time, country, state, postal code, product, subscription product, collection, number of items from a collection, customer tag or company. It also sorts methods by name or price and reorders and renames them. It is Built for Shopify.

Pricing: Dev Store Test is free but works only on development stores. PRO is $3.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial.

Octolize also makes separate apps for shipping discounts and rates, so make sure you install the right one.

Which one should you pick?

The right shipping rules app depends on whether you need new rates or only control over existing ones, and on your budget for a live store.

• You need custom rates by zip, weight or distance, plus hide and rename: ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules.
• You run a complex store with carriers and dimensional rates and want setup help: Intuitive Shipping, if $70/month or more fits your volume.
• You only need hide, rename and reorder with AND/OR logic on a cheap, proven plan: OCT Hide Shipping Methods.
• You sell B2B and want to test on tester checkouts first: ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules (Pro for company conditions). For B2B pricing itself, see our Wholesale Pricing Discount B2B alternatives.
• You mainly hide rates, including rural areas, and value support: ShipRight Hide Shipping Method, within its rule caps.
• You want free shipping and payment rules in one app: DS Hide Payment Hide Shipping.
• You want free AND/OR rules, delivery dates or rules copied across stores, and can accept a new app: SO: Shipping rules.
• You only want to reorder rates for free: Shipping Rate Power Toy reorders rates and hides PO Box rates on its free plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free shipping rules app that works on a live Shopify store?

Yes, a few shipping rules apps are free on live stores: DS Hide Payment Hide Shipping and SO: Shipping rules list no paid plans, and Shipping Rate Power Toy's free plan reorders rates and hides PO Box rates. Intuitive Shipping, ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules, OCT Hide Shipping Methods, ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules and ShipRight Hide Shipping Method offer free plans only for testing, development or sandbox stores.

What is the difference between a shipping rate calculator and a delivery customization app?

A shipping rate calculator such as ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules or Intuitive Shipping creates rates from inputs like weight, zip code or carrier quotes, and also controls how they appear. A delivery customization app such as OCT Hide Shipping Methods or SO: Shipping rules does not create rates; it hides, renames or reorders the methods your store already has. If your current rates are correct, a delivery customization app is usually enough.

Do I need Carrier Calculated Shipping to hide or rename shipping rates?

Not always, according to the listings. ShipX ‑ Shipping Rates & Rules says renaming, hiding and reordering work without Shopify's Carrier Calculated Shipping API, but its other conditions require it. ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules says it works on any Shopify plan without carrier-calculated shipping.

Can I show different shipping methods to B2B customers?

Yes, several shipping rules apps support B2B conditions. OCT Hide Shipping Methods uses customer tag or company, ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules adds company conditions on its Pro plan, ShipRight Hide Shipping Method lists B2B, company and market conditions, and SO: Shipping rules lists B2B status and customer tags. If your rules rely on customer tags, an auto tagging app can keep those tags up to date.

Can a shipping rules app show estimated delivery dates?

Among the delivery customization apps in this comparison, only SO: Shipping rules lists estimated delivery dates, based on delivery days and an order cutoff. DS Hide Payment Hide Shipping lists delivery scheduling and weekend delivery restrictions, which is a different feature. The other apps do not list delivery dates, so check each listing if you need them.

Next step

The next step is to write down the exact rules you need (for example, hide express shipping for PO Boxes, or show local pickup first for one region) and check which app covers them on the plan you would pay for. Most apps here let you build rules for free on a development store or in test mode, so set up your rules there, place a few test checkouts, and only move to a paid plan once the rules behave the way you expect.
