COD Express Checkout
·
Add a customizable one-click COD checkout form to product pages. Skip cart, skip checkout, more sales.
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.

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
