Cash on delivery: the heart and the headache of Moroccan e-commerce
Cash on delivery dominates the Moroccan market because it removes
the trust barrier: most buyers want to see the product before they
pay. That's what lets thousands of stores exist in the first place.
It comes with a structural downside. Since the customer commits to
nothing at the time of purchase, they can refuse the package with
no consequence to them. What we see in our audits with Moroccan
e-commerce owners is that the hard part is never acquisition, it's
converting an order into cash in hand.
What every cause of returns has in common is that it can be
detected before shipping, provided there's time
to check each order. Time an overloaded team never has. That's
exactly where automation changes the equation.
