class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cash on Delivery (COD) means your customer pays for the product only at the time of delivery\u2014not during checkout.<\/p>\n<p>This payment can be made in physical cash or through digital modes like UPI or cards, but only after the product has been delivered. So even if the delivery agent collects the amount via <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/what-goes-behind-a-qr-code\/\">QR code<\/a> or POS, it still qualifies as COD.<\/p>\n<p>In Shopify, COD is considered a manual payment method. That means it doesn\u2019t go through Razorpay, Shopify Payments, or any other online gateway during checkout. Instead, the order is marked as \u201cUnpaid\u201d until the payment is collected and manually updated as \u201cPaid\u201d by the merchant or courier.<\/p>\n<p>This makes COD different from prepaid orders, which are automatically processed via gateways and marked paid right away.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_and_Cons_of_Using_COD_in_Shopify\"><\/span>Pros and Cons of Using COD in Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Offering Cash on Delivery (COD) on your Shopify store can be a double-edged sword. While it opens doors to a wider audience\u2014especially in India where many shoppers remain hesitant about online payments\u2014it also comes with its own set of operational challenges.<\/p>\n<h3>Why COD Still Works for Indian Shopify Sellers:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><strong>Wider Reach:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>COD helps you reach customers who don&#8217;t use debit\/credit cards, don\u2019t have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/blog\/digital-wallet\/\">digital wallets<\/a>, or are simply uncomfortable with <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/blog\/upfront-payment\/\">upfront payments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Builds Trust:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For first-time buyers or customers in smaller towns, COD signals a lower-risk shopping experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>No Payment Gateway Fees:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since COD is processed manually, you skip card processing or UPI gateway charges on these orders.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Helps Boost Conversions:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>COD can reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/blog\/what-is-abandoned-cart\/\">cart abandonment<\/a>, especially when customers aren\u2019t 100% sure about your brand yet.<\/p>\n<h3>But There Are Some Trade-offs:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Higher Risk of Cancellations:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Customers may refuse the order on delivery, especially in the absence of upfront commitment.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Returns and Theft:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Packages can be lost, tampered with, or returned, leading to potential loss of goods and logistics costs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Cash Handling Hassles:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Managing cash collected by delivery agents can slow down reconciliation and lead to accounting errors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Delayed Cash Flow:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike prepaid orders, COD payments can take days to reflect in your account, depending on the courier partner\u2019s payout cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The key is to balance the pros with the risks by putting in place strong logistics partnerships, automated order verification tools, and smart accounting practices\u2014which we\u2019ll cover later in this guide.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re just starting out with Shopify, you can check out our guides on How to Build a Shopify Website and How to Sell on Shopify to get the basics in place first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enable_COD_in_Shopify\"><\/span>How to Enable COD in Shopify?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Enabling Cash on Delivery in your Shopify store is a simple, one-time setup using Shopify\u2019s Manual Payment Method feature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Log in to your Shopify Admin Dashboard.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to Settings &gt; Payments.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Scroll down to Manual Payment Methods.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click \u201cAdd Manual Payment Method\u201d and choose Cash on Delivery (COD).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You can rename the method (e.g., \u201cPay with Cash on Delivery\u201d or \u201cCash\/UPI on Delivery\u201d) for clarity.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">(Optional) Add instructions for customers\u2014like \u201cPlease keep the exact amount ready\u201d or \u201cUPI payment also accepted at delivery.\u201d<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click Activate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n<p>Shopify doesn\u2019t natively let you restrict COD based on cart value or PIN codes. But with third-party apps (covered below), you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set maximum order values (e.g., allow COD only for orders below \u20b95,000)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Limit COD availability by location<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Add extra COD fees for customers who select this option<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To avoid confusion, make sure to clearly display COD availability on the product page, cart page, and at checkout. This helps manage expectations and reduces failed deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>Need help with storefront design?

Since the payment is collected at the time of delivery\u2014not at checkout\u2014you\u2019ll need to track these orders manually until the money actually reaches your account.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s how to keep COD accounting clean and simple:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Mark COD Orders as Pending:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When an order is placed with COD, it&#8217;s essentially an unpaid <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/blog\/what-is-invoice\/\">invoice<\/a>. The actual cash (or UPI payment on delivery) hasn\u2019t come in yet.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4>Reconcile Later with Deposits:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your logistics partner collects the payment and settles it with you, that\u2019s when you officially record the income.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><strong>Match Deposits with Orders:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To avoid reconciliation errors, always cross-check the courier\u2019s settlement reports against the actual orders fulfilled. Most accounting tools like Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or even Tally can help here.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_COD_Apps_for_Shopify\"><\/span>Best COD Apps for Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Shopify&#8217;s built-in features for COD are quite basic. If you want more control over how you offer COD\u2014like setting limits, charging fees, or verifying customers\u2014third-party apps can help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are two of the best COD apps for Indian sellers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1. Releaseit \u2013 COD Order Verification<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Why it\u2019s great: Lets you verify COD orders via OTP or WhatsApp before dispatch, reducing RTOs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set order limits, custom rules, and add COD fees.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Offers a free plan for up to 60 orders\/month\u2014perfect for new businesses.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Integrates with major delivery partners in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. EasySell \u2013 COD Fees &amp; Checkout Customization<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Why it\u2019s helpful: Adds an extra step in the checkout where customers can confirm COD, agree to fees, or even opt-in for WhatsApp updates.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Great for sellers who want to keep things transparent and reduce \u201cimpulse COD orders\u201d that later get canceled.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Offers analytics and order tracking tools as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When choosing an app, look for features like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Custom COD form fields<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">PIN code restrictions<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Payment verification workflows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_COD_Fees_on_Shopify\"><\/span>Understanding COD Fees on Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Cash on Delivery is a great way to build trust with customers, it does come with added operational costs\u2014like handling cash, higher return risks, and courier surcharges. That\u2019s why many Shopify merchants choose to add a COD fee to offset these costs.<\/p>\n<p>Shopify itself doesn\u2019t allow you to directly add COD charges in its native checkout. But third-party apps like EasySell or Releaseit COD Form &amp; Upsells let you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Add a flat fee (\u20b950, for example)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Or charge a percentage-based fee (like 2\u20133% of order value)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That said, be mindful of the balance.<br \/>\nToo high a COD fee = higher cart abandonment.<br \/>\nToo low = you bear the cost.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before setting your charges:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Research what your competitors are doing<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Check with your logistics partner about COD fees they may charge<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Review local regulations, especially if you\u2019re shipping across state lines\u2014some states may have different rules around cash collection and surcharges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_COD_with_Dropshipping_on_Shopify\"><\/span>Using COD with Dropshipping on Shopify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Cash on Delivery can work with dropshipping, but it\u2019s not as plug-and-play as prepaid.<\/p>\n<p>Since you\u2019re not fulfilling the orders yourself, COD requires close coordination between you and your suppliers or logistics partners. Not all suppliers are willing to support COD, so make sure to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Set clear terms with your suppliers about who collects the payment and how it&#8217;s settled.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Confirm that your logistics partner supports COD for the region you&#8217;re targeting.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use a dropshipping-friendly COD app that can help you route and track these orders better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More importantly, keep communication transparent with your customers.

Can I charge an extra fee for COD orders on Shopify?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Shopify allows merchants to add a flat or percentage-based fee to COD orders using apps like Releasit COD Form &amp; Upsells. Just ensure you stay transparent with customers and check local consumer laws.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Is COD available for all locations in Shopify?<\/h3>\n<p>COD availability depends on your shipping zones and the courier services you use. You can set location-based conditions for COD eligibility through apps or custom code.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Does Shopify allow partial COD payments (like advance + cash)?<\/h3>\n<p>Not by default, but you can manage partial payments using Razorpay\u2019s Payment Links. Collect a small advance upfront and the rest on delivery \u2014 it\u2019s a smart way to reduce RTOs and confirm buyer intent.<\/p>\n<h3>4.
