SSLCommerz is a payment aggregator — not a courier. Clothing brands add it to capture prepaid buyers while keeping COD default for trust.

What SSLCommerz does

Direct answer

Routes customer payment to supported card and MFS channels through one checkout session — merchant receives settlement per SSLCommerz schedule and fee table.

Merchant onboarding checklist

Direct answer

Business trade license, bank details, website URL with privacy/refund policies, technical callback URLs for success/fail/IPN — sandbox keys first, then production approval.

Sandbox: test cards and fake MFS flows
Live: IPN/webhook must update order status server-side
Never rely on front-end redirect alone for paid status

COD + SSLCommerz mix on fashion sites

Direct answer

Default checkout to COD; show SSLCommerz as ‘Pay now’ — observed prepaid share 15–35% after trust badges and return policy are visible.
