In Egypt, Cash on Delivery Is King But It Comes with Challenges

In the Egyptian market, Cash on Delivery (COD) is the preferred payment method for most customers. While it’s convenient and widely trusted, it brings major challenges for eCommerce store owners — the biggest one being fake or fraudulent orders.

The Problem

If your Shopify store relies on COD, you’ve likely run into issues like:

• Orders with fake phone numbers or incorrect information
• Customers placing fake orders with no intent to buy
• Shipping cost losses from returned products due to invalid or fake customers

The Solution: Verify Orders Before Shipping Using OTP or Email

We’ve got a practical and effective solution:
The Shopify OTP – CoD Order Verification app, built specifically for the Egyptian market, sends a One-Time Password (OTP) to the customer’s phone number right after an order is placed or a confirmation link via email if the customer prefers.

Orders are only processed after the customer verifies their intent, either by entering the OTP or clicking the email confirmation link.

Key Features

Automatic Fake Order Detection

If the customer doesn’t verify the order, the app marks it as a high-risk order, helping you decide whether or not to fulfill it.

Flexible Verification Options

Customers can choose their preferred verification method:

• OTP sent via SMS
• Or email confirmation link

Extremely Affordable

The app uses local Egyptian SMS providers, making it far more cost-effective than other apps that rely on international services.

Real Customer Data

By verifying each order, you collect accurate customer data (phone number or email), which can later be used for follow-ups and marketing.

Seamless Shopify Integration

The app works automatically with all COD orders — no complicated setup or technical steps needed.

What About Online Paid Orders?

Orders that are paid online don’t require verification.
Since the customer has already paid, there’s no need for extra confirmation — making the purchase experience smoother and faster.
