Add Cash on Delivery with Dsers

Topic summary

A store owner is exploring whether Cash on Delivery (COD) can work with DSers for their dropshipping operation.

Key Challenge:

  • The store currently has no payment methods set up
  • They need to pay AliExpress suppliers upfront to initiate orders
  • Unclear how COD payments collected at delivery would be transferred back to them, since AliExpress suppliers handle the shipping

Current Status:
The question remains unresolved, with the fundamental issue being the payment flow: customers would pay the delivery courier, but the store owner needs those funds to reimburse themselves for the supplier payments they’ve already made.

Hi linda,

The primary concern is how the payment collected at the time of delivery will be transferred to me, given that the delivery process is managed by AliExpress suppliers.
