Akkedli Connector bridges your WooCommerce store with the <a href="https://akkedli.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Akkedli</a> platform to eliminate fake orders and drastically cut return-to-sender rates — especially for Cash-on-Delivery (COD) merchants.

COD stores lose thousands in fake orders, wrong addresses, and customers who deny placing orders. Manual phone verification is slow, expensive, and doesn’t scale.

<li>Akkedli instantly sends a WhatsApp message asking the customer to confirm</li>
<li>The customer taps Confirm or Cancel — takes 5 seconds</li>
<li>Your WooCommerce order status updates automatically</li>
</ol>
No more calling customers. No more shipping to fake addresses. Ship only confirmed orders.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automated WhatsApp Verification — Customers confirm orders instantly via WhatsApp</li>
<li>Real-Time Status Sync — Order status changes in WooCommerce are instantly reflected in Akkedli</li>
<li>Reduce Fake Orders — Stop shipping to unverified customers and save on returns</li>
<li>Custom Order Status — New “Confirmed by Akkedli” status to easily track verified orders</li>
<li>One-Click Setup — Connect your store in seconds from the Akkedli Dashboard</li>
<li>HPOS Compatible — Full support for WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage</li>
<li>Flexible Triggers — Choose to verify orders on “Pending” or “Processing” status</li>
<li>Secure REST API — Receive real-time status updates from Akkedli with API key authentication</li>
<li>HMAC-SHA256 Signed Webhooks — All outgoing status syncs are cryptographically signed</li>
<li>Order Notes — All verification and sync events are logged as WooCommerce order notes</li>
</ul>
<h4>Who Is This For?</h4>

<li>COD merchants in the Middle East, North Africa, and emerging markets</li>
<li>Dropshippers looking to reduce return rates</li>

FullStack-ing

Smart COD for WooCommerce is a powerful plugin that extends the WooCommerce Cash on Delivery (COD) Gateway, enabling you to add multiple extra fees and restrictions based on a variety of customer conditions such as location, selected shipping method, and more.
Whether you’re managing a small shop or a large e-commerce business, this plugin helps you fine-tune your Cash on Delivery service to cater to a wide range of scenarios and requirements.
A common challenge faced by WooCommerce store owners is the inability to apply an extra fee for the Cash on Delivery (COD) payment method. This is a critical feature for many e-commerce shops, as charging an additional fee for COD is a standard practice. 
This plugin not only addresses this issue but goes even further, offering a wide range of customizable restrictions and flexible extra fees. It’s the all-in-one solution for managing COD payments in your store.

<h4>Restrictions</h4>
Each restriction can be easily toggled between Enable and Disable. When set to Enable, the restriction will allow the Cash on Delivery (COD) payment option only for the specified selections. On the other hand, when set to Disable, the restriction will disable the COD option for the specified selections, making it unavailable for them.
<ul>
<li>Shipping Zone</li>

You can define an informational message to display before the payment methods, when the COD method is not available for a customer. 
You can define different messages per restrict reason.
<h4>Extra Fees</h4>
The extra fee is flexible, and in addition to the “standard” fee, you can define fees based on the following criteria:
<ul>
<li>Shipping Zone</li>
<li>Country</li>
<li>Shipping Method</li>
<li>Shipping Zone and Shipping Method (combined)</li>
</ul>
You can enable or disable this extra fee based on the customer’s cart amount. 
You can use a fixed price or a percentage of the customer’s cart amount. 
You also have a nice rounding option. 
You can enable tax for this fee.
<h4>Developer-Friendly</h4>
The plugin integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce and uses a clean, object-oriented codebase. It also provides the following filters for easy customization:
<ul>
<li><code>wc_smart_cod_fee</code>: Alter the extra fee.</li>
<li><code>wc_smart_cod_available</code>: Alter the current COD restriction.</li>
<li><code>wc_smart_cod_fee_title</code>: Change the COD fee title.</li>
</ul>
Since the plugin extends the existing WooCommerce Cash on Delivery Gateway, there’s no need to enable or disable gateways manually.
