How to add a pincode & COD checker to Shopify
By the Impact Marvel team · Updated
Short answer
Install an app that adds a pincode checker as a theme app block, place it near the buy buttons in the theme editor, paste your serviceable and COD pincodes (prefixes like 462* save time), and set your dispatch rules so it shows a real delivery window.
Why Indian shoppers look for it
Before paying, shoppers want to know if you deliver to their pincode and whether COD is available. Answering on the product page removes a reason to abandon at checkout.
What a good checker shows
A clear yes/no for delivery, the expected delivery dates, and COD availability for that pincode — remembered in the browser so shoppers do not retype it.
Keep your lists accurate
Use your courier’s serviceable pincode export. Prefix rules (for example 1* or 462*) cover whole regions. If you deliver everywhere, leave the list empty.
Step by step
- Install CartLift and open your theme editor on a product page.
- Add the "Pincode checker" app block below the buy buttons.
- Paste serviceable pincodes and COD pincodes.
- Set processing days, delivery range, cut-off time and holidays.
- Save and test with a few pincodes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to edit theme code?
No. Theme app blocks are added and removed from the theme editor.
Can the checker hide COD at checkout?
No. COD at checkout is controlled by your checkout or COD provider. The checker informs the shopper before they buy.
