What is Cash on Delivery?
The process of the Cash on Delivery (COD) type of the payment is simple. Delivery agents collect the invoice amount of a shipment from the buyer in the form of cash, card-to-card, or payment terminals at the time of delivery.
The Cash on Delivery payment process goes something like this:
Customer places an order and chooses cash on delivery as a payment method.
The online retailer verifies the customer order.
Once the order is confirmed, the product to be delivered is processed and shipped.
At the time of the delivery, a courier collects the payment and give the product to the customer.
Then, the courier submits the money to the responsible person in the company.
How to manage Cash on Delivery orders?
When a seller receives an order with Cash on Delivery, the payment status initially appears as "Pending." Once the ordered item is delivered and the payment is collected, the seller updates the payment status to "Paid." As a result, the shipping status of the order is automatically set to "Delivered."
