Does COD Desk send SMS or WhatsApp messages?
No. There are no message credits and no per-order fees. Buyers confirm on your thank-you and order status pages, which your own Shopify order e-mail already links to, or send you a WhatsApp message from their phone. Your team can open WhatsApp or call from the desk on their own phone.
Does it replace my checkout with an order form?
No. Buyers use Shopify's normal checkout. COD Desk uses Shopify Functions to hide cash on delivery for risky buyers and a checkout block to confirm the order afterwards.
How does it know who refused a parcel?
From your store: parcels you mark as refused or returned on the desk or the order page, orders tagged with your RTO tags (for example by your courier app), and your orders of the last 60 days when you install. Lists you already have can be imported as CSV.
Is my buyers' data shared with other stores?
No. Your lists and history are used for your store only. COD Desk keeps buyer e-mails and phone numbers in its order history only as one-way hashes; names and addresses are read from Shopify when your team opens the desk.
What counts toward the monthly limit?
Cash-on-delivery orders that COD Desk checks. Prepaid orders never count. Over the limit, new COD orders are recorded but not scored until the 1st of the next month.
Which countries does it support?
Any country where you offer cash on delivery. Phone numbers are checked for the shipping country, and Arabic, Persian and Hindi digits are understood.
What happens when I uninstall?
Shopify removes the checkout rules and blocks. Our server deletes the access token at once and every record of your store 48 hours later.
