COD Tiers, Deposits, and High-Value Orders on Shopify

Not every COD order should ship the same way. Use CodShield tiers to allow, confirm, require deposit proof, or hide COD by cart value.

COD Tiers, Deposits, and High-Value Orders on Shopify

High-value COD without proof of intent is a margin trap. Low-value COD may only need a light confirm. CodShield COD tiers let you encode that policy in Shopify.

CodShield COD tiers: Allow, Confirm, Deposit, Hide COD
Four tier actions: Allow, Confirm, Deposit with proof, or Hide COD.

Typical tier design

  • Allow — low risk / low value path
  • Confirm — WhatsApp YES/NO before ship
  • Deposit — partial payment proof in Shopify Files before Approve
  • Hide COD — cart value or rules where COD should not appear

Plans that match volume

  • Pulse — $0 / 50 COD per month / max 2 tiers
  • Flow — $9.99 / 500 COD / deposits, auto-cancel, RTO import, unlimited tiers
  • Quantum — $19.99 / unlimited COD volume (same feature set as Flow)
Risk score used with COD tiers
Tiers + risk + RTO CSV import close the loop on repeat problem phones.

RTO CSV feedback loop

On Flow and Quantum, import courier return CSVs so repeat problem phones score higher next time. Combine with blacklist so burned numbers do not keep checking out.

Set tiers once, then let the Orders queue run the day. Install CodShield or talk to EightyFive about rollout.
