COD-first or prepaid online store?

COD-first or prepaid-first online store?

The short answer

In this region COD is trust - and returned parcels are the tax. The honest build does both: COD with checks and confirmations, prepaid nudged with small discounts. The store’s economics decide the default.

How to actually decide

  • Your RTO history - or the trade’s, honestly.
  • Courier coverage for your pin codes.
  • Confirmation flow: who calls before shipping?

What we recommend

Stores here are configured around regional COD reality, not metro assumptions - the difference shows in the margin. Both sides of this comparison are builds we deliver - which is exactly why the recommendation above has no sales angle. Itemise your stack in the ecommerce development, or store cost.
