Creating Advanced Cash on Delivery Shipping Rates

To offer cash on delivery as a payment option, you can create advanced cash on delivery shipping rates using the Advanced Cash on Delivery app. These rates allow you to charge customers an additional amount that includes both the shipping cost and a cash on delivery fee. By creating multiple cash on delivery shipping rates, you can customize the fees based on different shipping methods or order types. For example, you might want to charge a higher cash on delivery fee for expedited shipping.

Create Advanced Cash on Delivery shipping rates

Before creating cash on delivery shipping rates, ensure that the This is a physical product option is selected for all your products. This ensures that the shipping rates will be displayed in your store's checkout flow.

It's a good practice to create rates in the Advanced Cash on Delivery app that correspond to the shipping rates you have already set up in your Shopify admin's Shipping settings. To help you maintain consistency and track your rates, consider using a naming convention. For example, if you have an Expedited shipping rate, then you can create an Expedited Shipping + Cash on Delivery shipping rate in the app.

To add a cash on delivery fee, enter a combined fee that includes shipping and the cash on delivery fee. For example, if you already have an expedited shipping rate of Rs. 30.00, and you want to add a cash on delivery fee of Rs. 10.00, then you can create an "Expedited Shipping + Cash on Delivery" rate of Rs. 40.00.
