COD Fee by Location for WooCommerce

COD Fee by Location for WooCommerce — Add Cash on Delivery Surcharges by Zip Code, City, or Country want to add a cash on delivery fee in WooCommerce? By default, WooCommerce has no built-in way to charge extra for Cash on Delivery orders — you need a dedicated plugin. COD Fee by Location lets you set a fixed or percentage-based COD surcharge, automatically applied based on your customer’s zip code, city, state, or country, so you recover shipping and handling costs on the orders that actually cost you money.

Whether you need to charge a flat $5 fee for specific zip codes, a 10% premium for international orders, or want to exclude COD entirely for high-risk products, this plugin provides the advanced, rule-based infrastructure your store needs to maximize profitability.

COD Fee by Location is fully compatible with WooCommerce’s High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and the newer Blocks-based checkout, so the surcharge recalculates instantly via AJAX the moment a customer enters their address — no page reload, no legacy checkout dependency.

Core Features & Capabilities

Cash on Delivery Fee by Zip Code, City, or Country

Stop applying a one-size-fits-all Cash on Delivery charge. With COD Fee by Location, you can add a cash on delivery fee based on zip code, city, state, or country — matching the surcharge to what COD orders actually cost you to fulfill in each area.

• Country & state targeting – Apply a broad COD surcharge across an entire country or a specific state/province.
• City-level targeting – Set a custom COD handling fee for individual metropolitan areas where delivery costs run higher.
• Zip / postcode targeting – Paste a bulk list of postcodes to instantly apply a precise local delivery surcharge across your entire COD service zone.

Fixed or Percentage-Based COD Surcharge

Choose exactly how your cash on delivery extra charge is calculated, and whether it’s taxable, so every COD order reflects your real costs.

• Fixed fee – Add a flat amount (e.g., $5) to cover the extra logistics of handling a COD package.
• Percentage-based fee – Charge a percentage of the cart subtotal (e.g., 3%) so higher-value COD orders carry a proportionally larger surcharge.
• Multi-currency support – Fixed fee amounts convert automatically for stores running WPML or WOOCS.

Conditional COD Fee Rules by Cart Total, Product, or Category

Go beyond location. Trigger your WooCommerce COD fee only when specific cart conditions are met, so you’re not overcharging customers who don’t need it.

• Min/max cart total rules – Only apply the COD surcharge within a set cart value range (e.g., waive it for orders over $100).
• Product & category rules – Apply the COD extra charge only when specific items or categories are in the cart.
• Exclusion rules – Prevent the fee from applying when high-margin or low-risk products are present at checkout.

Priority Rules for Overlapping Cash on Delivery Fees

When a customer matches more than one rule — say, a general country-level fee and a more specific city-level fee — COD Fee by Location uses a priority system to decide which one applies.

• Create unlimited COD surcharge rules with no restriction on complexity.
• Assign a numerical priority to each rule; the highest-priority match always wins.
• Ensures your most specific, most important pricing logic is never overridden by a broader rule.

Restrict Cash on Delivery by User Role or Guest Checkout

Control exactly who can see and use your COD option — useful for stores managing retail vs. wholesale pricing, or reducing risk from unauthenticated orders.

• User role conditions – Apply or waive the COD fee based on WordPress user role (e.g., charge retail customers, exempt wholesale accounts).
• Guest restrictions – Hide prices from logged-out users, disable guest checkout entirely, or show a customizable “Login to View Price” button in place of pricing.

WooCommerce Blocks Checkout & HPOS Compatible COD Fee Plugin

Built on modern WooCommerce architecture, so it keeps working as WooCommerce evolves.

• Blocks Checkout ready – Integrates natively with the React-based WooCommerce Store API and Blocks Checkout.
• HPOS compatible – Fully tested and declared for High-Performance Order Storage.
• Instant AJAX recalculation – The COD fee updates the moment a customer changes their address or zip code, with no page reload required.

Why Choose “COD Fee by Location” for Your WooCommerce Store?

Most WooCommerce COD fee plugins only support country-level pricing — which isn’t precise enough if your actual delivery costs vary by city, state, or zip code. COD Fee by Location adds that missing layer of geographic precision, letting you set a cash on delivery surcharge down to the exact postcode, while staying fully compatible with the modern WooCommerce Blocks checkout that many older COD plugins still break or don’t properly support.

Built to be lightweight, it strictly follows WooCommerce’s latest performance standards — including full HPOS compatibility — and runs on a priority-based rule engine that resolves overlapping COD fees automatically, so your pricing logic never conflicts. Whether you need a flat handling fee, a percentage-based surcharge, or fully conditional rules by product and cart total, COD Fee by Location gives you complete control over your Cash on Delivery process — protecting your margins and covering your real logistics costs on every order.
