WhatsApp COD Verification
Cash-on-delivery orders carry high return-to-origin costs from fake or unsure buyers. A quick WhatsApp confirmation before dispatch weeds out bad orders, and a prepaid nudge converts some to paid upfront.

How does WhatsApp COD verification work?
Before shipping, you message the buyer to confirm the cash-on-delivery order. Confirmed orders ship, unconfirmed ones are held or cancelled.
Does it reduce returns?
Yes. Confirming intent before dispatch removes fake and accidental orders that would otherwise be returned.
Can I push customers to prepaid?
Yes. Offer a small discount for paying online, which converts some COD orders to prepaid.
Is it automated?
Yes. New COD orders trigger the confirmation message automatically through kwiqreply.
