Where each payment goes
Two bills, and neither one is a markup
The operator is paid for the messages it carries. COD King is paid for the platform. Nothing sits in between the two, which is the whole of the direct-to-operator model.

Why integrate a local operator?
Cash on delivery runs on messages, and messages have a price
A verification code on every COD order, an update when it ships, a reminder when a checkout is abandoned. Routed through the operator that already serves your market, that line item gets smaller.
- Local rates, not marked-up ones
Up to 60% less
Integrating a local operator is what reduces the messaging cost, and the saving is a ceiling rather than an average.
- Paid to the operator, not through us
No markup
SMS charges are settled with the operator you selected, at that operator's own standard rates.
- The subscription buys the platform
Features & support
Your COD King plan pays for the platform features and the support behind them, and nothing else.
- An operator for your market
