Cash on delivery

Cash on delivery is a payment method where the customer pays when the order arrives.

Also calledCOD

It raises conversion in markets where card payment adoption is low, and it raises returns because the customer has not committed anything at checkout. Confirming intent and address before dispatch, and offering an incentive to prepay, are the two standard responses. Both are conversations.

Worth knowing alongside it.

Return to origin
Return to origin, usually abbreviated RTO, is a shipped order that comes back to the seller undelivered, typically because the customer refused it or could not be reached.
Conversational commerce
Conversational commerce is selling and supporting customers inside a messaging conversation, from the first product question through to the order and afterwards.
