How it sells itself

Cash-on-Delivery drives return-to-origin losses and working-capital strain for D2C brands, especially in COD-heavy markets. This app gives shoppers a clear choice between prepaid and Cash on Delivery on the cart page, rewards prepaid checkout with an automatic discount, and cleans up checkout so shoppers only see the options that match what they picked.

Pulse - Cash on Delivery helps stores that rely on Cash on Delivery control how COD works at checkout. Set rules to hide or show COD based on order total, discounts, country or province, products, collections, vendors, and shipping method, so buyers only see COD on orders you want.

Key points
  • Prepaid vs. Cash on Delivery choice on the cart page and cart drawer
  • Automatic discount applied when a shopper chooses the prepaid option
  • Hides checkout options that don't match the shopper's payment choice
  • Hide or show Cash on Delivery based on order total or cart discounts
  • Hide COD by country, province, product, collection, vendor or shipping
  • Auto-tag every COD order for easy filtering and fulfillment
  • Show COD instructions on the order status page and confirmation email
