ATH COD: Cash on Delivery Fees and Rules for WooCommerce

This plugin works on top of the cash on delivery (COD) payment method of WooCommerce. It adds a COD fee, an extra charge when the customer chooses cash on delivery, and it decides in which orders cash on delivery is offered at all. It also adds a "Pay in store" payment method for orders the customer collects (local pickup), so paying on pickup is not mixed up with paying the courier. There is no paid version. Every feature below is in this plugin. Ελληνικά: Χρέωση αντικαταβολής (έξοδα αντικαταβολής) και κανόνες για το πότε προσφέρεται η αντικαταβολή (COD) στο WooCommerce, μαζί με τρόπο πληρωμής «Πληρωμή στο κατάστημα» για παραλαβή από το κατάστημα. Το plugin έχει ελληνικό περιβάλλον και όλες οι λειτουργίες του είναι δωρεάν. The fee

• A standard fee: a fixed amount or a percentage of products and shipping.
• Unlimited fee rules for the cases that cost you more or less: another fee per shipping zone, shipping method, postcode, order amount, weight and so on. A rule with fee 0 makes cash on delivery free, for example above an order amount.
• Tax on the fee, with the tax class you choose.
• Your own name for the fee, shown in the order totals, the emails and the order in the admin.
• The fee is shown under the cash on delivery option at the checkout, before the customer selects it.
• A notice of your own under the cash on delivery option, which you switch on and word yourself. For example, that the courier takes payment by card only.

When cash on delivery is offered

• A highest order amount and a highest cart weight.
• Unlimited rules that hide cash on delivery, each with its own message to the customer.

Every rule, for the fee or for availability, can look at:

• Shipping zone and shipping method
• Country and postcodes, with ranges (70000...74999) and beginnings (84*)
• Order amount, cart weight and number of items
• Products, product categories and shipping classes in the cart
• Customer role, and guests
• Products on backorder
• A coupon being used

Pay in store

• A payment method of its own, "Pay in store", for customers who collect their order.
• No fee, and none of the cash on delivery rules apply to it.
• Offered only with store pickup, or with every shipping method if you prefer.
• It can take the place of cash on delivery when the customer chooses store pickup, so the checkout does not show two options that mean the same thing.

Protection

• A list of emails and phones that do not get cash on delivery.
• Customers with a number of earlier cash on delivery orders that were cancelled, failed or refunded no longer see it.

The protection looks only at the orders of your own store. The plugin does not connect to any outside service and does not send customer data anywhere. Built for current WooCommerce

• Classic checkout and block checkout. On the block checkout the fee needs WooCommerce 9.9 or newer.
• High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
• PHP 7.4 to 8.5.
• English and Greek included. Texts you type can be translated with WPML and Polylang.
• Light: one small option, no extra database tables, nothing loaded outside the checkout and its own settings screen.
