COD → prepaid
Turn confirmed COD into prepaid when it pays
After a buyer confirms on WhatsApp, invite them to pay online — fewer cash handovers, better cash flow, same verification safety net.
- Post-confirmation prepaid offer
- Keeps WhatsApp as the channel
- Works with verified COD intent
- Starter-oriented automation
Confirmed COD still ties up cash
Verification proves intent. Prepaid conversion after confirm improves collection and reduces doorstep friction — without forcing OTP at checkout.
- High COD mix squeezes working capital
- Doorstep collection fails even on ‘real’ orders
- Generic prepaid discounts aren’t timed to confirmation
How COD → prepaid works
- 1
Buyer confirms on WhatsApp
One-tap Confirm proves the order is real — the same Level verification flow.
- 2
Offer prepaid
Send a clear WhatsApp invite to pay online while intent is highest.
- 3
Fulfill with better certainty
Prepaid conversions reduce cash risk; remaining COD still ships verified.
Intent first, then payment shift
Timed to confirmation
Ask for prepaid when the buyer just proved they want the order — not randomly.
WhatsApp-native offer
Keep the conversation on the channel that already got the Confirm tap.
Doesn’t replace verification
Unconfirmed COD still stays Pending / auto-cancel eligible.
Margin-friendly alternative to suite fees
Shift mix toward prepaid without bolting on a full checkout OS.
Confirm, then optional pay online
Same WhatsApp thread — Confirm first, prepaid invite second.
More prepaid, less doorstep risk
Track verified COD and prepaid shift in one product.
Verification-led prepaid
“Don’t fight COD at checkout with heavy suites first — confirm intent, then invite prepaid when it helps cash flow.”
