How does CODBot work?

1. Once the customer pays for their order by choosing the Cash on Delivery (COD) payment option, they will be redirected to an order confirmation page. They would then need to verify their order by entering the OTP sent to their mobile phone via SMS or WhatsApp

2. Once the order is confirmed via OTP authentication, the customer is redirected to their order status page (also known as the thank you page) and the order details are displayed.

3. As a store owner, you can track the status of COD orders from the "Orders" tab on your Shopify Admin Dashboard. For authenticated orders, you will see a “CODBot Verified” tag. For bogus/unverified orders, you will see a “CODBot pending” tag and you can choose to cancel such orders to eliminate RTO.

Advantages of using CODBot over IVR/Automated Calls

1. Do you find IVR or automated calls annoying? Your customers do as well. Moreover, caller ID and spam blocking apps will filter out these annoying calls on your mobile devices. This is not good for your brand and can reduce conversions.

2. Most of the customer don’t prefer to answer unsolicited calls after they have just placed an order with your store. SMS verification not only creates trust, it also helps showcase your brand value in the customers’ eyes.

3. IVR calls usually use a recorded tone/dialect which your local users might not completely understand. Due to this, they might end up abandoning the cart and lose out on sales.
