COD (Cash on Delivery) is a City Express service in which the courier acts as the seller’s agent and collects the value of the delivered goods from the recipient in cash, according to the invoice issued by the customer.

The service requires no additional programming or integration, so online merchants can start using it quickly. It lets shops offer pay-on-receipt without handling cash collection themselves.

What's good

  • No integration or programming needed to start
  • Courier handles cash collection for the seller

Trade-offs

  • Cash-based collection only
  • Company reportedly ceased operations in 2022
