How to Setup COD Confirmation on Shopify
Cash on Delivery (COD) is one of the most popular payment methods in eCommerce, but it comes with major risks—fake orders, canceled deliveries, and Return-to-Origin (RTO) losses.
With the Chat ON Desk Shopify App, you can enable COD order confirmation via WhatsApp OTP or one-click confirmation messages. This ensures that only genuine, verified customers confirm their COD order before it is processed.
