# Free or Pro: which Khaleeji COD plan you need

> Free: the Arabic and English COD name plus one checkout rule, and the GCC preset turns on only the cart-above rule. Pro, $7.99/month after a 14-day free trial: every rule, the refuser scan and the money-lost report. Billing goes through Shopify.

Khaleeji COD has two plans. Free gives you a clear Cash on Delivery name at checkout, in Arabic and
English, plus one checkout rule. Pro costs $7.99/month after a 14-day free trial
and adds every checkout rule, the refuser scan and the money-lost report. You approve and pay for
Pro through Shopify, so there's no separate account or card to set up with Khaleeji COD.

## What's in each plan?

| | Free | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $7.99/month |
| Free trial | | 14 days |
| COD name in Arabic and English | Yes | Yes |
| Checkout rules switched on at once | 1 | All 6 |
| What the GCC preset turns on | The cart rule and the COD name | 4 rules and the COD name |
| Refuser scan | No | Yes |
| Money-lost report | No | Yes |

The **Plans** section at the bottom of the app lists the same things. Free shows "Arabic name for
COD at checkout" and "1 checkout rule". Pro shows "Every checkout rule", "Find customers who refused
COD", "Money-lost report" and "14-day free trial". The badge next to the Status badge at
the top tells you which plan you're on.

## What counts as a rule on Free?

There are six checkout rules: tagged customers, cart above an amount, first order above an amount,
products tagged `no-cod`, emirates or regions, and cities. Every ticked rule counts toward the
limit, even one with an empty amount or an empty list.

The rename (**Show a clear name at checkout**) isn't a rule, so it never counts. On Free you can
show «الدفع عند الاستلام» to Arabic shoppers and "Cash on Delivery" to everyone else, and still have
your one rule.

Your one rule can be any of the six. A store with most of its refusals in a few Saudi cities might
choose the city rule. A store that worries about big carts might keep the cart rule.

If you tick more than one rule on Free and click **Save rules**, nothing is saved and you see:
"The free plan includes 1 rule plus the Arabic name. Switch off the extra rules or upgrade to Pro."

## What does the GCC preset do on Free?

On Free, **Use GCC preset** turns on only **Hide COD when the cart is above**, with 1,500 in your
shop's currency, plus the Arabic and English COD name. The app picks the cart rule because it works
straight away, without tagging any customers or products. You then see: "Free plan: the preset
switched on 1 rule (hide COD when the cart is above your limit) plus the clear COD name. Upgrade to
Pro to use every rule."

A new store on Free that hasn't saved any rules yet sees the form filled the same way, so the first
**Save rules** works.

On Pro, the preset turns on four rules: tagged customers, cart above 1,500, first order above 500,
and products tagged `no-cod`. On both plans the region and city rules stay off until you switch
them on and fill them in, and nothing changes at checkout until you click **Save rules**.
[The GCC preset, rule by rule](/help/gcc-preset/) explains each one.

## What else does Pro add?

- The refuser scan looks at orders placed in the last 60 days that are now cancelled, keeps the
  ones paid by COD, and lists the customers to tag `cod-refused`. Nothing is tagged until you click
  the tag button. See [how the refuser scan works](/help/refuser-scan/).
- The money-lost report multiplies the number of cancelled COD orders that had shipped by your
  shipping cost out and back. It's an estimate that leaves out packaging, fees and ad spend. See
  [how the money-lost report is calculated](/help/money-lost-report/).

On Free, both sections show a "Pro feature" badge. The **Scan orders** button and the shipping cost
fields are switched off.

## Which plan fits your store?

Free is enough if you mainly want a clear Arabic name for COD and one simple limit, such as no COD
on carts above an amount you choose.

Pro fits better if you want several rules working together. Common reasons are customers who have
refused COD before, large first orders from new shoppers, products you never send cash on delivery,
or a mix of emirates and cities. It also fits if you want the app to find past refusers for you
instead of tagging them by hand.

If you can't decide, start on Free, look at your cancelled COD orders, and try Pro during the
14-day trial when you need a second rule.

## How do you move to Pro?

1. In Khaleeji COD, scroll to **Plans** and click **Upgrade to Pro**.
2. Shopify opens its own plan page for the app. Shopify hosts this page, and the subscription
   starts when you approve the Pro plan there.
3. Back in the app, the plan badge shows **Pro**.
4. Click **Use GCC preset** if you want the full Pro preset, check the amounts, and click
   **Save rules**. Upgrading doesn't change your saved rules by itself.

> **Note:** **Use GCC preset** replaces the whole form, including your COD names. It unticks the
> region and city rules and empties their lists. If you set up a city or region list on Free, copy
> it first and add it back before you click **Save rules**, or tick the extra rules yourself
> instead of using the preset.

The first 14 days are free, then Pro costs $7.99/month. On a development store,
you can test Pro free.

## How do you go back to Free?

While you're on Pro, the app doesn't show the **Upgrade to Pro** button, so there's no plan link in
the app. Email 9090mohammad123@gmail.com for help changing your plan on Shopify's plan page.

On Free, you can save only one rule. The next time you click **Save rules**, switch off all but one
rule first, or you'll see the Free plan message above. The refuser scan and the money-lost report
are switched off on Free.
