A COD form app for Shopify, or a store with COD built in?

Shopify can take cash on delivery, but its standard checkout asks for more steps than most COD buyers will fill in. That is why sellers add a one-page COD form app. Before you add one, compare it with a store where the form is already there.

Why COD sellers want a one-page form

  • COD buyers order from a phone, often from an ad, in a few seconds.
  • Every extra field or page loses buyers: email, account, separate shipping step.
  • The form should ask only name, phone, city and address — and show the total with delivery.
A store with four separate apps (COD form, quantity offers, upsell, reviews), each with its own price, next to a store where the COD form, offers, upsell, delivery fees and pixels are built in with no fee per order
Four apps to add up, or one store with it built in.

Option 1: Shopify plus a COD form app

Shopify has a manual cash-on-delivery payment method in its checkout. One-page COD forms, quantity offers in the form and phone checks come from apps in the Shopify App Store, each with its own monthly price or fee per order.

  • Good: a huge app store and themes, strong for card payments abroad.
  • Watch: add up the plan, the COD app, the upsell app and the reviews app — and any fee per order they take.
  • Watch: several apps editing the same product page can slow it down.

Option 2: a store with COD built in

On CODOS Store the COD order form is part of the store: on the product page or as a pop-up, with quantity offers inside the form, an upsell after the order, delivery fees by city and your ad pixels. Every theme is free, and CODOS Store takes no fee per order.
