What Kedra actually does
The core is conditional logic applied to checkout. You build rules that hide, rename or reorder payment methods and hide or rename delivery methods, each triggered by conditions on the cart, the customer or the order, cart value, weight, quantity, product or variant, customer tags, purchase frequency, time windows. The validation rules work the other way round: instead of changing what is shown, they stop checkout and display your own message, which is how you block PO box addresses or enforce a minimum order value. Conditional shipping discounts and free-shipping offers run off the same conditions.
Around that sit three extras. Post-purchase upsell offers appear on the thank-you and order-status pages from the $8.99 tier, with five layout templates and styling that follows your branding. Pre-filled checkout links and QR codes let you send someone straight into a populated checkout. And there is a checkout analytics view with a funnel, checkout started, information, shipping method, payment method, completed, plus conversion rate, abandoned value, average order value and the drop-off percentage at each step, which is the part that tells you whether a rule helped or hurt. The app is translated into 24 languages and integrates with Shopify POS-adjacent surfaces through Checkout and Customer accounts.

Pros & cons
- Charged by rule count, not orders or revenue, the bill does not grow with the store
- $12.99 for unlimited rules and conditions is the cheapest ceiling we have found in this category
- 4.8 from 515 reviews with the Built for Shopify badge, on a surface where failures are expensive
- Payment rules, delivery rules, validation and conditional shipping discounts in one engine
- Checkout funnel analytics show drop-off per step, so you can tell whether a rule helped
- The free plan is one rule with one condition, enough to test, not to run
- Post-purchase upsells need the $8.99 tier despite ‘Upsells’ being in the app name
- Starter caps you at three rules, which a store with real rules will pass quickly
- Checkout extensibility rules need Shopify’s newer checkout, older checkout.liquid stores are out
- We have not run it on a live store; this assessment comes from the listing, pricing and review distribution

Marketing screenshots from the Shopify listing, in-admin UI may look different. Always verify on a duplicate theme.
Before you spend trial time
- Build your single free rule first and confirm it fires on your theme before paying anything
- Test on a duplicate theme with a real test order, because checkout is the one page you cannot afford to break
- Check the rule still behaves on mobile and with your accelerated checkout buttons
- Count the rules you actually need, three or fewer makes Starter enough, more means go straight to Unlimited
- If you want post-purchase upsells, start on Starter Plus rather than Starter, or you will be upgrading in a week
- Watch the checkout funnel for a fortnight after a rule goes live and compare the drop-off at the step you changed

Closing take
Checkout rules are unglamorous and they quietly decide whether orders complete. Kedra covers the common cases, hiding payment methods that do not apply, blocking addresses you cannot ship to, enforcing order minimums, putting a delivery discount behind a condition, at a price that does not punish you for growing.
The thing that makes it easy to recommend is the structure of the bill rather than any single feature. Unlimited rules for $12.99 a month means the decision is made once, and no amount of growth reopens it. Start on the free plan to confirm it works on your theme, then pick the tier that matches the number of rules you genuinely need.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kedra Checkout Rules free?
There is a genuine free plan, but it allows one active rule with one condition and seven days of checkout analytics. It is enough to confirm the app works on your store. Paid tiers start at $6.99 a month for three rules and run to $12.99 for unlimited rules and conditions, each with a 7-day free trial.
Does Kedra let me hide payment methods at checkout?
Yes, that is the core of it. You can hide, rename and reorder payment methods and hide or rename delivery methods, each based on conditions such as cart value, weight, product, customer tag or country. Hiding cash on delivery for international orders is one of the examples the app ships with.
Do I need Shopify Plus to use checkout rules?
No. Kedra works through Shopify’s checkout extensibility, which is available beyond Plus. Stores still on the older checkout.liquid cannot use this type of app, so check which checkout your store runs before installing.
Does the upsell feature come with the cheapest plan?
No. Post-purchase upsell offers start at the Starter Plus tier, $8.99 a month. The $6.99 Starter plan covers rules only, so if upselling is part of why you are installing it, budget for $8.99 from the start.
How does Kedra’s pricing compare to other checkout apps?
It is metered on the number of rules rather than on orders or revenue, which is unusual. A high-volume store pays the same $12.99 for unlimited rules as a small one, where apps metered on orders charge progressively more as you grow.
Is Kedra safe to install on a live checkout?
It holds 4.8 from 515 reviews with the Built for Shopify badge, which is a reasonable track record for the category. That said, checkout is where money changes hands, so test every rule on a duplicate theme with a real test order before enabling it on the live store.
