How it sells itself

CodShield cuts cash-on-delivery RTO losses by confirming intent before dispatch. Each COD order gets a risk score, WhatsApp YES/NO from your number, and Approve/Cancel in one Admin queue. Set COD by order value: allow, confirm, collect deposits with proof in Files, or hide COD at checkout. Import courier return CSVs to flag repeat problem numbers. See RTO Saved on your dashboard.

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
  • Review COD in one queue with risk scores, fulfillment holds, and deposit status.
  • Customers confirm on WhatsApp; reply status updates in your Orders queue.
  • Import courier return CSVs to score repeat problem phone numbers automatically.
  • Tier COD by value at checkout: confirm, deposit, block COD, or add fee labels.
  • 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.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 14, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads. Read the methodology.
