Why RTO is an Indian eCommerce "Tax"
If you are selling on Shopify in India, you already know that Cash on Delivery (COD) is a double-edged sword. While it brings 70-80% of your orders, it also brings a massive hidden cost: RTO (Return to Origin). When an order returns, you lose forward shipping fees, reverse shipping fees, and most importantly, your Facebook Ad Spend.
The Psychology of Fake Orders
Most RTOs happen because of "Impulse Buying" without intent. A user clicks an ad at 11 PM, orders COD, and forgets about it by morning. By implementing a WhatsApp confirmation bot, you force the user to acknowledge the order, which increases the "Perceived Commitment".
Technical Solutions to Reduce COD Returns
Address Validation: Use Regex or AI tools to ensure landmarks and house numbers are present. Incomplete addresses account for 40% of RTOs in India.
NDR Management: Non-Delivery Reports (NDR) must be handled in real-time. If a courier fails to deliver, an automated IVR call or WhatsApp should reach the customer immediately.
RTO Reduction FAQs
What is a good RTO percentage for Indian Dropshipping?
For a healthy business, your RTO should be below 15-18%. If it crosses 25%, your ad spend will likely consume all your margins.
Does WhatsApp verification actually work?
Yes, data shows that stores using WhatsApp confirmation see a 15-20% drop in RTO because it verifies the phone number and buyer intent instantly.
