Managing COD Fee Types

ACOD Cash on Delivery provides several ways to structure your COD fees:

Setting Up Fee Conditions

ACOD uses conditions to determine when to apply fees. Here are some examples:

  "feeType": "percentage",
  "feeAmount": 2,
  "conditions": {
    "cartValue": {
      "lessThan": 1000
    }
  }
}

{
  "feeType": "flat",
  "feeAmount": 100,
  "conditions": {
    "location": {
