Reduce fake COD orders with verification

WhatsApp and SMS verification help confirm buyers before you ship — so fewer fake cash-on-delivery orders hit fulfillment.

Aug 1, 2026 · 4 min read

Cash on delivery grows sales in many markets — and it can also attract unverified or fake orders. Ettajer lets you require WhatsApp and/or SMS confirmation before fulfillment.

How it helps

  • Buyers confirm with a real phone channel before you prepare the shipment.
  • Invalid numbers and no-shows are less likely to waste courier fees.
  • You keep COD available for genuine customers who prefer paying on delivery.

Where to start

Enable verification from your merchant settings after checkout is live. Pair it with clear product pages and a working storefront so real buyers still convert smoothly.
