How it sells itself

COD Shield scores every Cash on Delivery order using 8 smart risk signals before you ship. We never send OTP messages to your customers. Real customers shop without interruption while fake orders get automatically blocked. We check pincode RTO history, customer order history, address completeness, order quantity, and timing patterns. Each flagged order shows merchants exactly why it was risky.

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.

Key points
  • Risk scoring on every COD order using 8 signals — no OTP needed
  • Auto-cancel high risk orders before shipping to save money
  • Full risk breakdown shows exactly why each order was flagged
  • ROI report shows total savings from blocked orders
  • COD risk analysis: Analyze COD orders and flag potential risk indicators.
  • Order control : Approve, hold, or cancel flagged orders before shipping.
  • Risk alerts: Get notified when orders require your attention.
  • Insights dashboard: Track order risks and monitor patterns in one place.
