COD confirmation

Confirm cash-on-delivery orders before you ship them

Every returned COD parcel costs you shipping both ways, packaging and the item's time out of stock. A single WhatsApp message with Confirm and Cancel buttons catches the ones that were never real.

The Indian D2C tax nobody budgets for

Cash on delivery drives conversion, and it also drives returns — impulse orders, duplicate orders, wrong addresses, and buyers who simply changed their mind. Asking one question before dispatch removes a meaningful share of that, and it costs you a single utility message.

The ask

One message, two buttons

When a COD order arrives, the customer gets a WhatsApp message with the order summary and two tappable buttons. A tap is all it takes — no typing, no link, no app to open.

  • Order number, items and amount in the message
  • Confirm and Cancel as native WhatsApp buttons
  • Typed replies understood too, including “haan” and “nahi”
  • Sent as an approved template so it reaches every customer

A reminder, then a decision

Silence is not an answer. After the interval you choose, one reminder goes out. If there is still nothing, the order is flagged as unconfirmed — and on Pro it can be cancelled in your store automatically, so it never reaches your packing table.

  • One reminder after a delay you set
  • Still no reply, and the order is flagged unconfirmed
  • Optional auto-cancel in your store (Pro)
  • The whole state machine is visible in your order list
Afterwards

The answer becomes data

Customers who repeatedly cancel or ignore COD confirmations get tagged automatically. Over time you learn which segments are worth shipping COD to, and which should be nudged towards prepaid.

  • Automatic tagging of COD behaviour
  • Segment prepaid-only offers to risky buyers
  • Confirmation rate visible per period

COD confirmation needs a connected store — part of the Growth plan. Auto-cancel in your store is Pro.

Questions

Frequently asked

In practice the opposite: a confirmation message reads as a well-run business, and it gives genuine buyers a chance to correct an address. The orders you lose are largely ones that would have come back anyway.
You choose. Flag the order for a human to call, or on Pro cancel it automatically in your store. Doing nothing is also an option — the flag alone is useful.
