What is COD?
Cash on delivery (COD) means your customer pays when the order arrives at their door, often with cash or a supported digital collection method, instead of paying online during checkout. It is widely used to improve trust for new buyers, higher-ticket products, or markets where prepaid adoption is still growing.
