COD Express Checkout for WordPress Plugin Directory

COD Express Checkout adds a streamlined, one-click checkout form directly beneath the product price on WooCommerce single product pages. This form appears only when Cash on Delivery (COD) is enabled as a payment method, allowing customers to bypass the traditional cart → checkout flow entirely.

Perfect for COD-Heavy Markets Cash on Delivery dominates in specific regions:

Middle East: 60-80% of e-commerce transactions are COD

South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh): 50-70% COD preference

Southeast Asia: 40-60% COD usage

Latin America: Growing COD adoption
