The wedge
Checkout & CRO
For most Indian D2C brands, the biggest leak is not the ad. It is the stretch between add-to-cart and a delivered, paid order, where COD, RTO, and a slow mobile checkout quietly eat the margin you already paid to acquire.
COD and RTO are the core leak
Cash-on-delivery is how India buys, and it is also where orders go to die. Industry benchmarks for Indian D2C put COD return rates in the range of roughly 25–40%, against roughly 2–8% for prepaid orders. That gap is the work: every COD order that fails to deliver burns forward and reverse shipping, blocks inventory, and converts a paid click into a loss.
We treat checkout and post-checkout as one system. The goal is not a vanity conversion number. It is a higher rate of orders that are placed, prepaid where possible, and actually delivered.
What we own
- Address validation: catch incomplete and undeliverable addresses at the point of entry, before a courier ever attempts a doomed delivery.
- COD risk rules: tier customers by risk, gate or add friction to high-risk COD, and nudge toward prepaid with incentives that pay for themselves.
- Payment options: UPI, cards, wallets, and EMI ordered and presented so the cheapest, most reliable rail wins by default.
- Cart and checkout recovery: abandoned-cart and abandoned-checkout flows across email, WhatsApp, and SMS that recover intent without spamming it.
- A/B testing: structured experiments on checkout copy, layout, incentives, and prepaid nudges, measured against a baseline, not vibes.
- Mobile speed: the checkout is on a phone, on a flaky network. We cut weight and latency where it costs orders.
Deliverables, not a deck
You do not get a slide deck and a retainer. You get shipped changes: address-validation live in the checkout, COD risk rules running, recovery flows sending, experiments configured and reading, and a measured baseline you can hold us to. Every item is a thing in your store doing work, or it does not count.
Benchmark, not a promise. The 25–40% COD vs 2–8% prepaid return range is a published India D2C industry benchmark used to frame the opportunity. It is not a Convra result and not a forecast for your store. Your numbers depend on your category, geography, and current setup, which is exactly what the audit measures first.
