How to Enable Cash on Delivery on Shopee Taiwan Site

Does Shopee Taiwan support cash on delivery? How to enable it?

In today's thriving e-commerce industry, Shopee, one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, has always been a focus for both merchants and consumers due to its service functions and user experience. Recently, the question of whether Shopee Taiwan supports cash on delivery and how to enable this service has attracted significant attention from many sellers. This article will explore this issue and analyze it based on relevant news and platform policies.

First, we need to clarify what cash on delivery is. Cash on delivery refers to a settlement method where buyers complete transactions by paying in cash or scanning a code after receiving the goods. This method effectively reduces the barriers to purchasing for consumers, especially for users who are less familiar with online payments, making it a more intuitive choice. However, for e-commerce platforms, the implementation of cash on delivery requires certain technical support and logistics guarantees. Therefore, not all platforms default to supporting this payment model.

Returning to the specific situation of Shopee Taiwan, according to the latest platform rules, Shopee does indeed allow some sellers to enable the cash on delivery function. However, this function is not available to all sellers but has certain access thresholds. For example, sellers need to meet certain store ratings, order volumes, and product quality requirements to apply for enabling the cash on delivery service. Cash on delivery may increase the operational costs of the platform, so Shopee charges additional service fees for stores that activate this feature.

So, how do you enable the cash on delivery function on Shopee Taiwan? According to the official guidelines, sellers need to follow these steps

Step 1 Log in to the Shopee backend management page and enter the settings option;

Step 2 Find the payment methods or similar functional modules, click Add Payment Method;

Step 3 In the pop-up interface, select cash on delivery and fill in relevant information such as pricing standards and applicable scope;

Step 4 Submit the application and wait for the platform review. Typically, the platform will complete the review within 3-5 working days and notify the seller of the result.

It is worth noting that although cash on delivery seems convenient, it also carries certain risks. On one hand, cash on delivery may lead to some buyers maliciously refusing to accept goods, thereby causing economic losses for sellers; on the other hand, the transaction process of cash on delivery is longer, which may affect the efficiency of capital turnover. Sellers need to carefully weigh the pros and cons when deciding whether to enable this function.

From news reports, in recent years, with the increasing demands of consumers for shopping experiences, more and more e-commerce platforms have begun to try introducing cash on delivery services. For example, a well-known e-commerce giant announced last year that it would expand the coverage of cash on delivery to attract more user groups. Shopee Taiwan's adjustment this time is also seen as an important move to adapt to market trends. According to industry insiders, Shopee hopes to enhance its competitiveness in the local market through this new function, especially in competing for resources from small and medium-sized merchants.

In summary, Shopee Taiwan currently does indeed support the cash on delivery function, but enabling this function requires meeting certain conditions and undergoing platform approval. For sellers interested in enabling this function, in addition to being familiar with the operation process, they also need to prepare for potential risks. In the future, with the introduction of more similar services, we have reason to believe that Shopee will continue to maintain its leading position in the fiercely competitive e-commerce field.
