In Pakistan, India, the Gulf, Egypt and North Africa most online orders are cash on delivery. Fake and prank orders cost the store courier fees, packaging and returned parcels.
COD Verification and Fake Order Blocker stops them at checkout. The buyer confirms the order with a short code sent to their email, known fake buyers are blocked, and risky COD orders are capped.
The check runs on the server when the order is placed, in both the classic checkout and the Checkout block, so it cannot be skipped by changing the page.
