How it sells itself

COD Shield helps merchants control Cash on Delivery by pincode and guide customers toward prepaid checkout when COD is restricted. It helps reduce manual order checks, keeps payment choices clear, and lets merchants manage COD availability using their own business rules.

Cash on Delivery orders are refused at the door more often than prepaid orders, and each refused parcel costs a merchant twice: shipping out and shipping back. This app reduces that by guiding shoppers toward prepaid payment at checkout. Merchants build rules that show prepaid first, rename Cash on Delivery, hide it for risky carts, or block checkout for conditions like country or cart value.

Key points
  • Upfront display of benefit of prepaid payment method over COD
  • Displayed COD payment method but disable it for blocked pin codes
  • Customer could see detailed break up on popup for making informed choice.
  • Reorder, rename, hide, or block Cash on Delivery at checkout
  • Target rules by country, cart value, products, collections, or customer tags
  • Runs natively in checkout — no theme edits and no added slowdown
  • Built-in A/B testing and an estimated RTO-savings dashboard
