COD Protection
Take a small advance online on cash on delivery orders, and send your courier the correct balance to collect. Serious buyers pay it without thinking twice; the orders that would have been refused at the door never ship.

What COD Protection does for your store
A cash on delivery order that is refused at the door costs you shipping twice and packaging once. Most advance payment plugins stop at taking the money, and the courier still asks for the full amount. COD Protection records the advance on the order itself, so your courier sees cash on delivery for the balance only.
Advance your way
A fixed amount, or a percentage of the order with a minimum and a maximum.
Rules that fit your orders
By pincode (exact or prefix), cart value, product and category. The first matching rule wins.
Clear at checkout
The buyer sees "Pay ₹2,000 now, ₹23,000 on delivery" at checkout and on a clean pay page, and pays through Razorpay.
Unpaid orders never ship
Orders wait away from Shiprocket until the advance arrives; the courier then collects only the balance.
Refunds and returns
Refund an advance from the order screen with one click. Mark returned parcels and hide cash on delivery for repeat returners.
A report that counts
Advances collected, orders that never shipped and the shipping cost you saved.

Questions before you buy
Does the courier collect the full amount?
No. The order total stored in WooCommerce becomes the balance, and the payment method stays cash on delivery, so the courier is asked for the balance only.
What if the buyer does not pay the advance?
The order stays pending and is never sent to Shiprocket. WooCommerce cancels it after your hold stock time, and the stock is released.
Is the advance refunded when I cancel an order?
Only if you turn on automatic refunds in Settings, or press Refund advance on the order. It is off by default, because orders refused at the door are usually cancelled too, and the advance is meant to cover those.
What happens when my licence ends?
Checkout goes back to plain cash on delivery. Orders that already have an advance can still be paid, confirmed and refunded. A plan does not renew on its own; renew from your account whenever you are ready.
Is GST charged, and do I get an invoice?
Prices are plus 18% GST. Every payment comes with a GST invoice by email and in your account. Add your GSTIN at checkout to claim input credit.
What if it does not work on my store?
Write to us first and we will look at your store. If it has a fault we cannot fix, ask for a refund within 14 days of buying, as the refund policy explains.
