See every featureOrderGuard helps COD-focused Shopify stores identify risky orders before fulfillment. Every order is scored using customer history, behavior patterns, and fraud signals like duplicate phone numbers, repeat addresses, and COD rejection rates. Review flagged orders, track loss prevented, and automate actions to reduce cancellations and shipping losses.
Built for merchants using AfterShip for COD delivery tracking. Your COD or OTP app protects orders before they ship. RTS Guardian protects them after. RTS Guardian monitors your AfterShip delivery statuses in real time and flags shipped COD orders showing signs of failed delivery — before they become Return to Sender (RTS). No prediction, no guesswork — just your AfterShip data, flagged when it matters.
