Configuring Cash on Delivery
As a seller, you might want to configure Cash on Delivery (COD) for your website. If that's the case, it's worthwhile for you to note that the COD option is configurable from four places:
- Main COD configuration
- Customer-level COD configuration

- PIN Code-level COD configuration
