Does ACOD work with Hillteck: Verify COD Orders?
Updated · ACOD (E-TRADE PARTNER)
Yes, cleanly. ACOD and Hillteck operate on opposite sides of the order: ACOD applies the COD fee and availability rules at checkout, and Hillteck verifies the order by automated IVR call or WhatsApp after it is placed. The two layers never touch, so there is nothing to configure and nothing to conflict.
4.9 · ACOD does this for you: COD fees plus location, order-value, product, and customer rules.

How the two apps split the work
Hillteck states in its own material that verification happens after the order is placed, not during checkout, and that it integrates at the order-processing level rather than the storefront or checkout level. New COD orders sync to Hillteck automatically, the customer gets an IVR call or WhatsApp message to confirm, and the result comes back as an order tag in your Shopify admin.
Quick context on ACOD's side: ACOD works entirely inside the native Shopify checkout through Shopify Functions (payment and delivery customizations). It adds the COD fee as a dedicated shipping rate, links the Cash on Delivery payment method to that rate, and hides or shows COD based on your rules. It adds no theme code and no scripts, so anything that happens before checkout (on your storefront) or after checkout (on placed orders) is outside ACOD's layer and cannot collide with it.
What this pairing looks like in practice
- ACOD decides who sees COD (pin code, order value, product, customer tag) and what COD costs (the fee on the shipping line).
- Every COD order that gets through ACOD's rules is exactly the population Hillteck then verifies.
- Confirmed and cancelled results land as order tags, which your fulfillment flow can act on.
One behavior to know about
If Hillteck converts a COD order to prepaid after purchase (via a WhatsApp payment link), the ACOD COD fee that was already part of the order total stays on the order. Most merchants treat that as acceptable, since the fee compensated for the COD risk the order carried at checkout time. If you prefer, you can refund the fee manually on converted orders.

Frequently asked questions
›Do I need to change any ACOD settings to use Hillteck?
No. Hillteck reads placed orders; ACOD acts before the order exists. Neither app knows the other is installed.
›Does Hillteck ever hide COD or add fees at checkout?
No. Hillteck: Verify COD Orders works strictly after checkout, so it never competes with ACOD's fee or visibility rules.
›Will the ACOD fee still apply to orders Hillteck later cancels?
The fee is part of the order total. If verification fails and the order is cancelled, the whole order (including the fee) is cancelled with it. Nothing is ever charged, since COD orders are unpaid until delivery.
