Choosing Cash on Delivery becomes a safety net. It is less about payment preference and more about perceived protection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For businesses, this creates a clear challenge. How do you encourage prepaid transactions without forcing the customer to take a leap of faith?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Razorpay Buyer Protection provides that reassurance in a simple, visible, and credible way.
