Card on delivery (CAOD) with driver-carried payment terminals
Card on delivery lets a shopper choose to pay by card at the door instead of online — the driver carries a physical payment terminal, captures the charge on arrival, and can switch an order between COD and card if the customer changes their mind.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does card on delivery need a separate device from the driver phone?
Yes, a physical payment terminal is what actually reads the card — the delivery-agent app on the driver’s phone confirms and records the charge against the order.
Is card on delivery the same as embedded card checkout?
No. Card on delivery captures payment in person with a terminal at the door; online card payment goes through a hosted-redirect gateway during checkout, not an embedded card field.
Can a driver switch a card-on-delivery order to cash?
Yes, the delivery-agent app supports switching either direction between COD and card-on-delivery right up to the moment payment is captured.
