Illustrative previewA build-to-order WooCommerce plugin that gives you real control over Cash on Delivery: conditional availability, handling fees, OTP phone verification, and order-confirmation guards to cut fake orders and return-to-origin losses.
Key Features
Per-zone COD availability tied directly to WooCommerce Shipping Zones — enable Cash on Delivery only where your couriers actually deliver, hiding it elsewhere via the woocommerce_available_payment_gateways filter
Per-product and per-category COD rules so high-value, fragile, or high-RTO SKUs can be set to prepaid-only while everyday items stay COD-eligible
Configurable COD handling fee, fixed amount or percentage of cart total, applied through WC()->cart->add_fee() so it shows transparently on the checkout totals and in the order
OTP phone verification at checkout — a one-time code is sent to the buyer's number and order placement is blocked in woocommerce_checkout_process until the code is confirmed, cutting fake and mistyped-number orders
Min/max cart-total restrictions that automatically remove COD below or above thresholds you define, steering large baskets toward prepaid payment
Order-confirmation flow with verification state stored as order meta and shown in wp-admin, so dispatch staff can filter and ship only verified COD orders
Pluggable OTP delivery layer designed to integrate with your existing SMS/WhatsApp provider via its API (provider configured during the build)
Per-role and per-customer overrides so trusted wholesale or repeat customers can keep COD even where it is otherwise restricted
HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible — declares support for WooCommerce custom order tables so it works on modern, performance-optimized stores
WPML and WooCommerce multisite aware, with translatable checkout labels, fee names, and OTP message strings for multilingual and multi-store deployments
Admin settings built into the native WooCommerce Payments settings screen — no separate dashboard to learn, configurable from wp-admin
Verification and fee actions logged to order notes for a clean audit trail and easier dispute handling

About this Product
WooCommerce ships a single Cash on Delivery gateway with one on/off toggle and a coarse "enable for shipping methods" box. For COD-heavy markets in South Asia and MENA, that is not enough — fake orders, wrong phone numbers, and return-to-origin (RTO) losses quietly erase margin on every undelivered parcel.
Cash on Delivery Pro for WooCommerce is a custom plugin that ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports on your own WordPress site. It is not an instant marketplace download. We scope your rules, develop against your theme and checkout, deploy to your staging environment, then push to production once you have signed off.
Under the hood it extends WC_Payment_Gateway and hooks into woocommerce_available_payment_gateways, woocommerce_checkout_process, and the cart/fee APIs — so COD behaves exactly the way your fulfilment reality demands. You get per-zone and per-product COD rules, a fixed or percentage handling fee added via WC()->cart->add_fee(), min/max cart-total restrictions, and a one-time-password (OTP) phone verification step that blocks order placement until the buyer confirms a code sent to their number.
It is fully HPOS-compatible (declares support for WooCommerce custom order tables), respects WooCommerce Shipping Zones, and integrates with WPML/multisite where you run multilingual or multi-store setups. OTP and verification states are stored as order meta and surfaced in wp-admin, so your team sees at a glance which orders were phone-verified before dispatch.
The goal is simple and honest: fewer junk COD orders going out the door, lower RTO, and a checkout you actually control. Pricing is a one-time build fee of $99; what you receive is a working plugin on your site plus a support window from the team that built it.
What you get
- A custom Cash on Delivery Pro plugin built for and installed on your WordPress/WooCommerce site (production plus a staging copy)
- Configuration of your COD rules — zones, product/category restrictions, handling fees, and cart thresholds — to match your fulfilment policy
- Integration of OTP phone verification with your chosen SMS or WhatsApp provider's API, wired and tested end to end
- HPOS compatibility verification and a checkout/place-order test pass on your live theme before go-live
- A short admin guide covering the wp-admin settings, verification states, and day-to-day operation for your dispatch team
- A defined support and bug-fix window after launch, with WooCommerce/WordPress version-compatibility updates handled by the team that built it
Who this is for
COD-heavy store owner fighting RTO
Runs a WooCommerce store in South Asia or MENA where most orders are Cash on Delivery, and is bleeding margin on parcels that come back undelivered. Needs OTP verification and conditional COD to filter out junk orders before they ship.
Operations / fulfilment manager
Owns dispatch and courier relationships. Wants to ship only phone-verified COD orders, restrict COD on high-value SKUs, and see verification status clearly inside wp-admin without bolting on a separate tool.
WooCommerce agency or freelancer
Builds and maintains stores for COD-market clients and needs a robust, HPOS-compatible COD control layer that respects Shipping Zones and WPML, without writing and maintaining the gateway extension from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cash on Delivery Pro for WooCommerce
How long does delivery take, and how do I get the plugin?
This is a build-to-order product, not an instant download. After purchase we confirm your COD rules and SMS/WhatsApp provider, then build, install, and test the plugin directly on your WordPress site. Typical delivery is around 5 to 10 business days depending on how custom your rules and OTP provider integration are. You receive the working plugin on your own staging and production sites — we do not sell it as a self-serve WordPress.org or WooCommerce.com download.
What support and updates are included after launch?
Included is a post-launch support and bug-fix window during which we resolve issues and keep the plugin compatible with current WooCommerce and WordPress versions, including HPOS changes. After that window, ongoing maintenance and feature additions are available as a separate arrangement. Because ECOSIRE builds the plugin, the same team that wrote it handles your fixes — there is no third-party vendor queue.
Will it work with my theme, page builder, and a custom checkout?
In most cases yes. It hooks into standard WooCommerce APIs (the payment gateway class, the available-gateways filter, the checkout process action, and the cart fee API), so it works with the block checkout and classic checkout on standard themes. Heavily customized or headless checkouts are handled during scoping — we test on your actual theme on staging before going live and flag any conflicts early.
How does the OTP phone verification actually send codes?
The plugin generates a one-time code and sends it through your existing SMS or WhatsApp provider via that provider's API. You supply the provider and credentials; we wire and test the integration during the build. Order placement is blocked in the woocommerce_checkout_process hook until the buyer enters the correct code, and the verified state is saved to order meta so your team can confirm it in wp-admin before dispatch. SMS/WhatsApp message charges are billed by your provider, separately from this build fee.
Is it HPOS-compatible and safe for a high-traffic store?
Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables) and reads/writes order data through the WooCommerce CRUD layer rather than direct postmeta access. OTP and verification logic runs at checkout without long-running blocking calls, and we test the place-order path on staging under your real configuration before enabling it in production.
