Cash on delivery (COD) has been a key propeller for the e-commerce industry. More customers are inclined to COD, considering the advantage of not having to pay in advance. Despite the obvious pros for both sides, COD has been denting operational profits for many e-commerce giants. Frequent cancellations after order placement and more fake orders have plagued the clarity associated with an online business, causing many companies to rethink their COD policies. COD Enablement and Verification simplify the critical concerns for websites and apps accepting orders without upfront payments, promising a more transparent environment for doing business.
Businesses can now cut down operational losses through SMSPoint’s COD verification system.
Immediately after a COD order is placed, SMSPoint’s system will trigger an automated call, requiring the customer to verify their order details.
Your server will send the customer details and relevant info to SMSPoint based on the data collected through the automated call.
SMSPoint will then initiate a second call with the customer with an automated voice, which will help verify the order as the second step of authentication. The customer is required to give input through their phone.
The customer’s input will allow SMSPoint to mark the order as verified in the CRM. The customer can press 1 in the previous step to confirm an order or 2 to deny it.
