To enable Cash on Delivery (COD) as a payment option in Webflow E-Commerce without requiring immediate payment, you can follow these steps:
1. Set up COD as a payment method:
- Go to your Webflow E-Commerce dashboard and navigate to the "Checkout" section.
- Click on the "Payment & Tax" tab.
- Scroll down to the "Payment Methods" section and click on the "+Add Payment Method" button.
- Select "Cash on Delivery" from the available options.
- Customize the display name and description if needed.
- Save the changes.
2. Modify the checkout process to skip payment validation:
- In your Webflow Designer, go to the checkout page where you want to enable COD.
- Double-click on the checkout form to open the form settings panel.
- Click on the "Success" state of the form.
- In the settings panel, click on the "Payment" section.
- Select the "No payment required" option.
- Save and publish the changes.
By following these steps, you have enabled COD as a payment option during checkout without requiring immediate payment. This allows customers to choose COD, and they can complete the purchase without entering any payment information. However, keep in mind that this method assumes that you'll handle the payment collection manually offline, once the order is placed.
Note: It's important to communicate to customers that choosing COD means they'll have to pay in cash upon delivery. You can add this information at multiple touchpoints throughout the shopping experience, such as on the product pages, cart page, and checkout page.
