Cash on delivery (COD) allows customers to pay after receiving their orders. The tax you collect on sales is VAT (Value Added Tax). Local delivery refers to the method of delivering goods at a local level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These three features can boost your sales and make customers happy. COD builds trust because customers don&#8217;t pay upfront. VAT keeps you legal with tax rules. Local delivery saves money and gets products to customers faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide shows you how to add these features to your store.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"cc-blog-banner-two\">\n        <div class=\"cc-blog-banner-two-left-img\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cc-blog-banne-two-left.webp\" alt=\"left image\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cc-blog-banne-two-decoration.webp\" alt=\"decoration image\" class=\"cc-blog-banner-two-decoration-img\">\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"cc-blog-banner-two-content\">\n            <h3 class=\"heading\"><span>Add COD, VAT &amp; Local Delivery to Your Store<\/span><\/h3>\n            <p class=\"content\">Make checkout easier and faster for local shoppers with smart features.<\/p>\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"button form-model-button\" onclick=\"return false;\">Launch Your Local Setup                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cc-blog-banne-one-button-img.webp\" class=\"arrow-icon\"><\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll learn step-by-step instructions for different platforms. We&#8217;ll cover common mistakes and how to avoid them. By the end, you&#8217;ll know exactly how to set up COD, VAT, and local delivery for your eCommerce business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Offering COD, VAT, and Local Delivery is Essential In 2025?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2025, eCommerce success does not entirely rely on products. Offering a<strong>&nbsp;cash-on-delivery option<\/strong>, applying the correct VAT, and enabling local delivery has become important now. But why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look to get the answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improves Customer Trust and Satisfaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <strong>add COD to store<\/strong>, it removes the biggest worry customers have about online shopping. They don&#8217;t have to give their credit card details to unknown stores. Buy Now Pay Later transactions in the United States were estimated at $133 billion\u00a0in 2024, showing that customers want flexible payment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When customers see COD as an option, they feel safer. This means more people will buy from your store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expands Your Customer Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone has a credit card or likes to shop online with a card. COD opens your store to these customers. Local delivery enables you to reach people in your area who prefer fast shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerscommerce.com\/blog\/us-ecommerce-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 U.S. ecommerce sales reached $1.192 trillion<\/a>, which is more than double what they were five years prior. Adding COD and local delivery helps you get a bigger share of this market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helps Follow Local Tax and Shipping Rules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you <strong>setup VAT in eCommerce<\/strong>, it keeps you legal with tax authorities. Most states have substantial sales thresholds for sales tax nexus. The most common is $100,000 in gross annual sales or 200 transactions in the last four quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Add COD to Your eCommerce Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/How-to-Add-COD-to-Your-eCommerce-Store.webp\" alt=\"How to Add COD to Your eCommerce Store\" class=\"wp-image-7125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/How-to-Add-COD-to-Your-eCommerce-Store.webp 950w, https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/How-to-Add-COD-to-Your-eCommerce-Store-300x178.webp 300w, https:\/\/cartcoders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/How-to-Add-COD-to-Your-eCommerce-Store-768x456.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cash on delivery (COD) allows customers to pay after receiving their orders.
