1. Set COD for your orders

  • If you'd like to change the payment method or edit the COD value, click on the Ship icon on the right side of the order, then click on Edit in the Order Details:

     

  • In order to edit ✏️ Cash on Delivery value, you can simply change it from the Cash on Delivery field:

If you're interested in, you can also decide to apply a charge on COD price. In order to do so, just add it in the Cash on Delivery field during shipment creation.

 

Once set it up, you'll be able to see it in the order details under Cash on Delivery in the Shipped tab:

 

 

Eg. Original COD value: 100€, by adding 5€ surcharge it will be indicated the total amount of 105€ in COD field from Carrier's info.

 

Make sure you put a maximum of two decimal values while adding the Cash on Delivery value. Otherwise, the value will be rounded up.

If you'd like to apply the possibility to pay via POS ask your Carrier if they support this option, then you'll only have to select Cash or All payments method for your shipment.

 

If you'd like to delete 🗑 Cash On Delivery for this shipment, set COD value as 0:
