Why we built CodLite.

In many markets, the bulk of online orders are still paid in cash to the driver at the door. That changes how the whole business runs. You can't just point a credit-card playbook at a COD market and hope for the best. Customers expect a phone call to confirm. Shipping is split across multiple services, each strong in a different region. Cash comes back days later in a stack of notes that has to match what your orders actually collected.

The tools built for credit-card commerce — Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe — were never asked to model this. So sellers stitch their own stack: a sheet for orders, WhatsApp for the call list, a notebook for cash, another sheet for ad spend, a third for media-buyer commissions. It works for the first hundred orders a day; it falls apart around two hundred.

CodLite is one screen for all of it. Orders capture from any storefront or CSV; one queue your confirmation team works from — or hand it to a service that confirms end-to-end. Per-product service routing with percentage splits. Cash reconciliation that tells you which route or operator lost which dollar. Ad-spend sync. OCR receipts that read themselves into a real ledger. Media buyers who get paid on a formula, not a guess.

We're still building. The current dashboard ships seller-mode features today; marketplace and full cross-org affiliate mode are next. If you operate a COD business — anywhere — and any of this resonates, get in touch. We'd rather build what you actually need than what we think you need.
