COD Express Checkout

COD Express Checkout adds a streamlined, one-click checkout form directly beneath the product price on WooCommerce single product pages. This form appears only when Cash on Delivery (COD) is enabled as a payment method, allowing customers to bypass the traditional cart → checkout flow entirely.

Perfect for COD-Heavy Markets

Cash on Delivery dominates in specific regions:

• Middle East: 60-80% of e-commerce transactions are COD

• South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh): 50-70% COD preference

• Southeast Asia: 40-60% COD usage

• Latin America: Growing COD adoption

• 🎯 COD-Specific – Only shows when COD payment is enabled

• 📱 Mobile Optimized – Responsive design for all devices

• ⚙️ Fully Configurable – Toggle fields, customize labels, reorder fields

• 🔄 Variable Products – Full support for variable products with variations

• 🔒 Secure – Nonce verification, input sanitization, rate limiting
