Best shipping rules apps for Shopify in 2026: 6 compared

A shipping rules app lets you control which delivery methods a shopper sees at checkout, what they are called, and in what order they appear. You might want to hide express shipping on heavy orders, show freight only to wholesale buyers, or rename a vague rate so shoppers know what they are paying for. Quick answer: for most stores, Shipy ‑ Hide Shipping Rules is the safest pick, because it combines a 5.0 rating from 156 reviews, Built for Shopify status and a free plan with hide, rename, reorder, B2B and scheduling rules.

What to look for in a shipping rules app

The best shipping rules app for your store is the one whose conditions match the rules you actually need, at a price that fits your order volume. Check these points before you install:

• Actions: can it hide, rename and reorder methods, or only some of these?
• Conditions: look for the triggers you need, such as cart total, weight, zip code, customer tag, product, collection or B2B company.
• Rule logic: AND/OR groups let you build rules like "hide express if the cart is heavy AND the address is remote".
• Plan limits: some plans cap the number of active rules or customizations, which matters as your rules grow.
• Proof: rating, review count and Built for Shopify status tell you how much evidence there is that the app works well.
• Extras: scheduling, PO Box rules, payment method rules or delivery date estimates can save you a second app.

Shipping rules apps compared

The six shipping rules apps below all hide and rename delivery methods at checkout, but they differ a lot on price, rule limits and the amount of review evidence behind them.

How we compared: we went through the Shopify App Store listing information for each app in November 2026. We did not read reviews, and some details (such as full plan lists and some ratings) were not available to us, so those cells say "check listing". Prices and ratings can change, so confirm them on each listing before you install.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hide shipping methods on Shopify without Shopify Plus?

Yes, several shipping rules apps state that they work on every Shopify plan. ShipStar: Hide Shipping Rates says Shopify Plus is not needed, and ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules says it works on any plan without carrier-calculated shipping. Check each app's listing for its own plan requirements before you install.

Is there a free shipping rules app for Shopify?

Yes, SO: Shipping rules is free with no paid plans listed, and Shipy ‑ Hide Shipping Rules has a free plan alongside its paid plans. CheckoutFlow‑Hide Sort Rename also has a free plan, but it is limited to 1 customization. Free plan limits can change, so confirm them on each listing.

How do I show freight shipping only to B2B customers on Shopify?

You can show freight only to B2B buyers with a shipping rules app that supports company or B2B conditions. Shipy ‑ Hide Shipping Rules lists showing freight only to B2B companies as a feature, and OCT Hide Shipping Methods, ShipWith: Hide Shipping Rules, ShipStar: Hide Shipping Rates and SO: Shipping rules all offer company or B2B status conditions. You set a rule that hides the freight method unless the buyer belongs to a company.

Do shipping rules apps calculate shipping rates?

Most shipping rules apps, including SO: Shipping rules, do not calculate rates: they hide, rename or reorder the delivery methods you have already set up in Shopify. If you need custom rate calculation, look at an app built for it. SMART Shipping Rates & Rules (4.9 from 267 reviews) describes a postcode shipping calculator in its tagline, so check its listing to see whether it fits.

Can a shipping rules app show estimated delivery dates at checkout?

SO: Shipping rules shows estimated delivery dates based on the delivery days and order cutoff you set. We did not see delivery date features on the listings of the other apps in this comparison. If dates matter to you, confirm the feature on each listing before choosing.

Before you install

The best way to choose a shipping rules app is to write down the three to five rules you need right now, then check which app covers all of them within its plan limits. Count your rules honestly, since plans like ShipStar: Hide Shipping Rates and CheckoutFlow‑Hide Sort Rename cap active rules or customizations. Then install your top pick, build one rule, and place a test order to confirm the right methods show for the right shoppers before you add the rest. Apps from other categories on our blog, such as our best sticky add to cart apps for Shopify, follow the same approach: start small, test, then expand.
