What is order risk scoring for COD ecommerce?

Risk score rates each new COD order 0–100 from phone format, cancel history, and trust profile — so ops auto-confirms low-risk orders and flags high-risk phones.

Fake COD orders and repeat cancellers destroy margin faster than ad CPM spikes. Order risk scoring automates the gut-check your CS team does when a weird phone or address appears.

What is an order risk score?

Direct answer

A 0–100 score assigned at checkout from signals like valid 01XXXXXXXXX phone, prior cancellations, blacklist status, order time, and address patterns — mapped to low/medium/high risk bands.

How operators use risk scores

Direct answer

Low-risk orders can auto-confirm after a delay; high-risk orders get manual call-before-ship; blacklisted phones block checkout — reducing wasted courier trips.
