COD

COD (Cash-On-Delivery) is a commission type according to which an affiliate marketer receives a commission for each successful sale when a customer pays for the order after its delivery.

COD: How does it Work?

COD commissions are popular in countries with limited trust in online payment systems. After a customer makes a purchase and provides their contact details, a call center verifies the order. When the order is confirmed, managers arrange a delivery date and time. Only after the goods are delivered and paid for upon receipt by the customer, affiliates receive a commission.

Benefits of COD

For affiliate marketers, promoting products with COD payment options is beneficial. They can get higher commissions for advertisers’ offers and sales with delivery to the client generated. Some customers may prefer paying COD due to various reasons, such as concerns about online fraud or lack of access to digital payment methods. By targeting these customers, affiliate marketers have the opportunity to earn commissions from a broader audience.

The effectiveness of the COD model has been demonstrated in recent years, leading to its adoption in various niches. Currently, some popular verticals for COD offers include:

• eCommerce: This niche includes selling goods through online shops;
• Nutra/Health: This niche focuses on areas such as eye care, sleep improvement, brain function, hair regrowth, weight loss products, etc. See the list of Top Nutra Networks;
• Adult: This niche includes adult products, and sex toy sales.

By promoting COD offers in these niches, affiliate marketers can tap into the demand for these specific products and benefit from the trust and convenience that COD provides to customers.
