In India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Indonesia and the Philippines, the majority of online orders are still paid in cash at the door. Yet most store builders are designed for card checkout first and treat COD as an afterthought. If you need a cash on delivery ecommerce builder — a no payment gateway online store where customers order with just a name, phone and address — Shop-E-Business was built for exactly this, and it costs $10 USD per year.

Why COD-first matters in emerging markets

The reality on the ground

  • India: COD still accounts for a large share of e-commerce orders, especially in Tier 2/3 cities.
  • Pakistan: The overwhelming majority of online purchases are cash on delivery; card penetration is low.
  • Nigeria & Egypt: Shoppers prefer to inspect goods before paying; trust in new stores is earned at delivery.
  • Indonesia & Philippines: COD via courier networks (J&T, JNE, LBC and others) is a standard checkout option.

Getting a card gateway in these markets often means business registration, bank verification, weeks of waiting and 2–4% in fees. A COD online store removes all of that: you can launch today and get paid by your courier.

How the COD workflow works in Shop-E-Business

1. Customer places the order

On any product page the buyer adds to cart and enters name, phone number and delivery address. No sign-up, no OTP, no card. The order lands in your dashboard instantly.

2. You confirm by phone or WhatsApp

Call the customer, verify the address and mark the order Confirmed. This single step is the most effective way to cut fake orders and RTO (return-to-origin) losses in COD markets.

3. Ship with your local courier

Book the parcel with Delhivery, TCS, Leopards, GIG Logistics, Bosta, J&T, LBC — any courier that offers cash collection. Mark the order Shipped, and Delivered when the cash is remitted to you.

4. Keep 100% of the sale

With no gateway and 0% platform fees, the only cost is your courier's COD charge. Shop-E-Business never takes a cut.

Built for mobile-first shoppers

Most buyers in these markets shop from a phone on a mobile connection. Shop-E-Business themes are lightweight and responsive, product pages load fast, and the one-tap COD form is designed for thumbs, not desktops. Every store also ships with technical SEO (clean URLs, meta tags, sitemap) so your products can appear in local Google searches — see how to rank your products on Google.

Getting started from India, Pakistan, Nigeria or anywhere else

  2. Create your store at shopebusiness.com and get an instant subdomain.
