ServiceTech COD Restriction by Category

Restrict Cash on Delivery payment method for specific WooCommerce product categories.

adil

<p><strong>COD Express Checkout</strong> adds a streamlined, one-click checkout form directly beneath the product price on WooCommerce single product pages. This form appears <strong>only when Cash on Delivery (COD) is enabled</strong> as a payment method, allowing customers to bypass the traditional cart <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> checkout flow entirely.</p>
<h4>Perfect for COD-Heavy Markets</h4>
<p>Cash on Delivery dominates in specific regions:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Middle East</strong>: 60-80% of e-commerce transactions are COD</li>
<li><strong>South Asia</strong> (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh): 50-70% COD preference</li>
<li><strong>Southeast Asia</strong>: 40-60% COD usage</li>
<li><strong>Latin America</strong>: Growing COD adoption</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>⚡ <strong>Express Checkout Form</strong> – Displays directly on product page</li>
<li>🎯 <strong>COD-Specific</strong> – Only shows when COD payment is enabled</li>
<li>📱 <strong>Mobile Optimized</strong> – Responsive design for all devices</li>
<li>⚙️ <strong>Fully Configurable</strong> – Toggle fields, customize labels, reorder fields</li>
<li>🔄 <strong>Variable Products</strong> – Full support for variable products with variations</li>
<li>📝 <strong>Order Notes</strong> – Optional customer notes field</li>
<li>🔒 <strong>Secure</strong> – Nonce verification, input sanitization, rate limiting</li>
<li>🌐 <strong>Translation Ready</strong> – Full i18n support</li>
<li>🎨 <strong>Theme Agnostic</strong> – Works with any WordPress theme</li>
<li>🔗 <strong>Developer Friendly</strong> – Extensive hooks and filters</li>
<li>📍 <strong>Shortcode Support</strong> – Place the form anywhere on your site</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Customer lands on a product page</li>
<li>Sees the express checkout form below the price</li>
<li>For variable products, selects their preferred variation</li>
<li>Fills in name, phone, and address</li>
<li>Clicks “Order Now – Pay on Delivery”</li>
<li>Order is created instantly via AJAX</li>
<li>Customer sees confirmation message</li>
</ol>
<p>No cart page. No checkout page. Just one form, one click!</p>
<h4>Conversion Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Reduce cart abandonment</strong> by 50%+</li>
<li><strong>Capture impulse buyers</strong> at peak buying intent</li>
<li><strong>Decrease checkout time</strong> from 3-5 minutes to under 60 seconds</li>
<li><strong>Improve mobile conversion rates</strong> with simplified flow</li>
</ul>
