See every featureBuyerCheck helps merchants reduce losses from failed cash-on-delivery (COD) orders. Using artificial intelligence, it analyzes customer behavior and predicts risk at the checkout stage. When a potentially risky buyer is detected, the store can automatically disable COD, request prepayment, or handle the case manually by checking the full analytics report after accepting the order.
Every fake COD order costs you money in lost shipping, inventory, and time. CODShield automatically scores Cash on Delivery orders before fulfillment detecting risky buyers, fake addresses, and suspicious patterns. Approve trusted orders instantly. Hold or cancel risky ones before they ship. Get realtime alerts on high-risk transactions.
