Cash on Delivery (COD) remains one of the most popular payment methods in India—but it comes with extra costs. From return-to-origin (RTO) charges to added logistics, COD can silently erode your profit margins.
The solution? Add a small COD fee to recover these costs. With the Nex Advanced Cash on Delivery App, you can add a dynamic surcharge—no coding, no Shopify Plus needed.
Why Add a COD Fee?
Offset Handling & RTO Costs
Each COD order adds extra workload for your logistics and increases the chance of returns. A fee helps you recover that expense.
Encourage Prepaid Orders
Adding a small fee nudges cost-conscious shoppers to choose prepaid options, saving you time and money.
Protect Your Margins
Even a ₹50 fee can make a huge difference when margins are thin, especially on high-volume or low-value orders.
