How Cash-on-Delivery Remittance Keeps Your Business Cash Flow Healthy

Kemi AdebayoLogistics Audit Lead

Cash-on-Delivery (COD) remains the most effective conversion tool for online merchants. However, uncollected funds or delayed payouts from courier riders can cripple your business cash flow.

The Problem with Delayed Payouts

Traditional delivery services often hold collected cash for 7 to 14 days before transferring money back to the merchant. This leaves small business owners unable to restock fast-selling inventory or pay operational bills.

What to Look for in a Remittance Partner

- **Daily Bank Transfers**: Your fulfillment partner must remit collected funds into your bank account within 24 hours of delivery. - **Clear Audit Statements**: Every morning payout should come with an itemized reconciliation statement matching order IDs to collected cash and card POS payments. - **Zero Hidden Charges**: Remittance fees should be transparent and explicitly outlined without unexpected deductions.

At Delivit, cash collected by our doorstep delivery riders is reconciled every evening and remitted directly into merchant bank accounts next business morning.

GET STARTED

Your business should not depend on you packing every order.

If you're spending too much time storing products, preparing parcels, coordinating deliveries or reconciling COD payments, it may be time to move fulfillment out of your hands.

You focus on selling.
