“The world is going through a paradigm shift in terms of technology and electronics upgrades,” said the electronics company that wanted nothing else but to provide the best electronics products to its customers.
However, the eCommerce journey wasn’t as easy as the company envisaged it would be. Most of their orders were COD (cash on delivery) orders because 60-70% of Indian customers prefer paying via the COD payment method, and unfortunately, RTO (return to origin) was exceptionally high for the electronics company’s COD orders.
The Initial Challenges
Exponentially High RTO Rates
COD was the preferred payment method for 60% of their orders, and 40% of their COD orders were returning back to the origin for multiple reasons, inevitably increasing the RTO rate. The company had to bear both forward and backward logistics expenses, increasing its operational cost.

Unsatisfactory Business Growth
Most of the cash on delivery orders was being returned to the seller, and it was becoming difficult for the company to increase its revenue. This directly impacted their business, contrary to what they wanted.
Damaged products were returning to the warehouse, and with every return or refund, the inventory was getting blocked. All in all, each return order was hampering their business goals, which resulted in unsatisfactory business growth.

After facing some issues, the electronics company connected with Razorpay Magic Checkout. The team helped them understand how Magic Checkout can assist in reducing the return to origin rate and boosting the conversion rate.
