# Guide: Limit COD for Specific Shipping Locations

Offering Cash on Delivery (COD) can be a great way to increase conversions — but only when it’s available in the right places.
If your store delivers to multiple countries or regions, you might want to **restrict COD** to specific areas to reduce risk and shipping complications.
This guide shows you how to **limit COD by location** using the **Limit COD app** on Shopify.

### ✅ **1. Show COD for Selected Countries Only**
If you want to allow COD only in certain countries, you can set up a **country-based rule**.
**Example use cases:**
* Enable COD for domestic orders (e.g., only for *Vietnam* or *India*).
* Disable COD for international orders where delivery fees or risks are higher.
**How to set it up:**
1. Open the **Limit COD app** in your Shopify admin.
2. Go to **Rules → Shipping Conditions.**
3. Choose the countries where COD should appear.
4. Save your settings.
👉 Once active, COD will only be visible to customers whose **shipping country** matches your selected list.

### 🗺️ **2. Show COD for Specific State or Province Codes**
For stores that operate within large countries (like the U.S., Canada, or India), you may want to control COD by **state or province code**.
**Example use cases:**
* Allow COD only in urban areas or specific states where delivery partners support it.
* Restrict COD for remote or high-risk regions.
**Steps to configure:**
1. In the **Limit COD app**, navigate to **Rules → Shipping Conditions.**
2. Enter the state or province codes you want to allow (e.g., *CA*, *TX*, *ON*).
3. Click **Save** to apply changes.
✅ The app will automatically check the **state code** at checkout and hide COD if it’s not on your list.

### 📮 **3. Limit COD by Postal Code (ZIP Code)**
You can get even more specific by limiting COD to **certain postal codes**.
This is perfect if your delivery partner supports COD only in specific areas.
**Example use cases:**
* Enable COD for postal codes 10000–10500 only.
* Disable COD in remote or high-fraud zones.
**Setup guide:**
1. Go to your **Limit COD app** dashboard.
2. Open **Rules → Shipping Conditions.**
3. Add the postal codes (comma-separated or range-based).
4. Save and test the checkout to confirm.
🚀 Now, only customers whose **shipping postal code** matches your allowed list will see the COD option.


### 🎯 **Conclusion**
By setting COD rules based on **country**, **state**, or **postal code**, you can:
* Reduce delivery risks
* Avoid unsupported regions
* Improve your checkout experience
With the **Limit COD app**, all this can be configured in just a few clicks — no coding required.
