Apps to hide, rename and reorder shipping methods in Shopify, compared

Facts checked October 28, 2026

Toolbench’s free Shipping Rules module lets you hide, rename and reorder shipping methods with conditions. Choose it as one of any 3 active free modules and manage more daily tasks in the same app.

Shipping profiles and zones decide which rates exist. Hiding express for oversize items, keeping carrier rates away from wholesale buyers or blocking a postcode needs an app built on Shopify's delivery customization Functions, which work on every plan. Shopify's own Checkout Blocks does this only on Shopify Plus.

All six apps here hide shipping options at checkout. They differ in which conditions they check, whether they can rename and reorder on every plan, whether they reach local delivery and pickup, and what else comes in the same app.

THE TOOLBENCH ADVANTAGE

One job solved. More tools ready when you need them.

You want cart, product, customer and address conditions together with AND/OR logic and up to 50 rules on the free plan, plus payment and fulfillment rules in the same app. Options can only move to the bottom, and there are no discount-code, currency, market or time conditions.

Check the fit for your store

Shipping options can only be moved to the bottom of the list, not to the top.
Shipping Rules can't change a rate's price. Discount Rules, part of Premium, can discount the rates you choose.
It has no conditions for discount codes, currency, Shopify Markets, language or time of day.
A renamed carrier rate keeps the carrier's name in front.
The free plan runs any 3 Toolbench tools at once, so Shipping, Payment and Fulfillment Rules together use all 3.

Questions

Do I need Shopify Plus to hide shipping methods?

No. Apps built on Shopify's delivery customization Functions work on every plan, including all six here. Shopify's own Checkout Blocks only hides, renames or reorders delivery methods on Shopify Plus.

How many shipping rules can a store have?

Shopify allows 25 active delivery customizations per store, shared by every app, according to SMART's, HideShip's and ShipX's docs. Toolbench keeps all its shipping rules, up to 50, in one of them.

Which of these apps can hide shipping rules for free on a live store?

Only Toolbench, as one of any 3 free tools. The other five are free only on development stores or for testing rules.
