See every featureCash on Delivery (COD) orders can lead to fake purchases, failed deliveries, and unnecessary Return-to-Origin (RTO) costs. This app helps merchants verify customers before fulfillment by sending a one-time verification code through email or SMS. Orders that are not verified can be flagged for review or automatically canceled based on your store's settings.
