Cut Your RTO Losses With WhatsApp COD Confirmation
Every refused COD parcel costs you shipping both ways, packing and the ad spend that got the order. We plug that leak with the same system we use on our own brands.
Why COD orders come back.
Impulse orders
Buyer changes mind before delivery. No confirmation step.
Wrong or fake details
Bad address, wrong number, test orders.
Failed delivery (NDR)
Courier can’t reach the buyer and nobody follows up.
The RTO fix, step by step.
WhatsApp COD confirmation
Every COD order gets a confirm/cancel message. Unconfirmed orders are held, not shipped.
Prepaid nudge
A small incentive to switch from COD to UPI before dispatch.
Risk rules
Flag repeat-RTO pincodes, numbers and high-risk orders.
NDR follow-up
Failed delivery triggers a WhatsApp to the buyer for re-attempt or new address, synced with your shipping aggregator.

Does COD confirmation reduce conversion?
Orders are placed normally. Confirmation happens after checkout, so it filters bad orders instead of blocking good ones.
Which shipping partners do you support?
Most aggregators such as Shiprocket, plus direct couriers that share NDR data.
How is pricing done?
One-time setup plus a small monthly fee. See our pricing page for starting prices.
