What happens today
Cash on delivery buyers are the ones most likely to forget they ordered, be away on delivery day or refuse the parcel. Each refused parcel costs you the packing and the trip back. So sellers check before they ship, and someone on your team spends the morning reading “is my order confirmed?” and “can I pay by card at the door?” in Shopee chat.
The flow that works
- A buyer messages about a cash on delivery order in Shopee chat, or replies to a check your team sent.
- AeroChat asks for the order number if the buyer has not given it.
- It answers cash on delivery questions from your policy: pay the rider in cash, the amount is on the order page, have it ready on delivery day.
- When the buyer confirms, AeroChat writes the order number, “confirmed” and the time into your COD Sheet.
- If the buyer says they no longer want the order, AeroChat explains how to request a cancellation from the order in the Shopee app and marks the row “not confirmed”.
- Your packing team ships the confirmed rows.
What it looks like in Shopee chat
Buyer: Hi, I ordered the rattan basket set with cash on delivery. Is it confirmed? (example)
AeroChat: Hi! Thanks for your order. Could you send me the order number so I can note your confirmation for our packing team?
Buyer: 2611MY04K (example)
AeroChat: Thank you, your cash on delivery order 2611MY04K is confirmed with us. The amount to pay the rider is shown on your order page in the Shopee app. Please have it ready on delivery day. We pack confirmed orders within one working day (example).
Behind the reply: AeroChat answered from your cash on delivery policy and wrote the order number, “confirmed” and the time into your COD Sheet.
The recipe
Copy this into AeroChat
When a buyer in Shopee chat asks about a cash on delivery order, follow these steps.
- If they have not given the order number, ask for it.
- Answer from our cash on delivery policy: they pay the rider in cash, the amount is on their order page in the Shopee app, and they should have it ready on delivery day.
- Ask them to confirm they still want the order delivered.
- If they confirm, add a row to our COD Sheet with the order number, “confirmed” and the time, and tell them our packing time.
- If they no longer want it, explain how to request a cancellation from the order in the Shopee app and add the row as “not confirmed”.
- If they ask to change the delivery address, hand the conversation to our team with the new address.
Never send a payment link or any outside link in Shopee chat. Never ask a buyer to cancel. Reply in the buyer’s language.
Add your cash on delivery policy and packing times to AeroChat’s knowledge, and create a COD Sheet with columns for order number, status and time.
What stays in Shopee
AeroChat handles the conversation and the confirmation record. The order, the payment method, the cash the rider collects and the delivery stay in Shopee. AeroChat never sends payment links or outside links in Shopee chat, even when a buyer asks to pay another way.
What to connect
- Your Shopee shop. Connect it from the AeroChat dashboard. Shopee sets its own approval steps for chat access, and our team takes you through them. See Shopee and AeroChat.
- Your COD Sheet. A Google Sheet with order number, status and time. AeroChat adds a row for each confirmation.
- Your knowledge. Your cash on delivery policy and packing times.
After you paste the recipe, AeroChat builds the workflow as a draft and shows a checklist of what is left to switch on: connect your shop, add your knowledge, link your Sheet if the recipe uses one, then switch it on.
Using a different system? If it has a public API, it connects to AeroChat the same way: describe what you want, paste in its key, and it runs.
