While prepaid transactions are on the rise via UPI, India is still predominantly a cash-driven country where the e-commerce industry witnesses 60-70% of its transactions as cash on delivery (COD). Since COD orders have no obligation on the buyer, the rate of this order returning to the warehouse without delivery is as high as 40%. This can be due to multiple reasons,
Since the order gets returned to the warehouse, cash flow inconsistencies arise for the seller. This is because firstly, on a COD order, cash collection becomes a challenge. It also brings with it a reverse logistics cost since the order needs to be shipped back to the warehouse when the customer cancels it in transit. Moreover, cash flow is further impacted by the inventory loss due to product lock-in for days, product damage, etc. This negatively affects the profitability of the business and results in reduced margins for the brands.
While COD orders help in driving the volume of orders for e-commerce brands, the risk owing to return to origin losses can be high.
Neeman’s was also looking for a solution provider that would help them curb these losses owing to high return-to-origin without impacting their net conversion rate and gross merchandise value (GMV).
They also wanted someone who would enable them to increase their share of prepaid orders thus further reducing return to origin stemming from high risk CND orders and increasing profitability.
Did you know that the conversion rate in the e-retail space is as low as 2 – 4%? One of the major reasons for this is high drop-offs at every stage of the funnel. And, research has suggested that more than 80% of people are likely to drop off in the login stage of the checkout alone. We also see that 35-40% drop-offs happen at the address filling page.
Moreover, if a user has to spend even one second extra at the checkout, the rate of drop-offs increases by a whopping 7%.5. This is largely because people are more convenience centric these days. If they see that they have to fill in their details manually, or they have to wait too long for a page to load, they are more likely to drop off.
From entering the phone number, getting their OTP, and filling out their address, shoppers are always looking for ways to cut down these steps, save time and have a more seamless shopping experience. This is exactly what Neeman’s was looking to provide to its customers – a frictionless, easy and convenient way to complete their purchases.

Since acquiring new customers and ensuring they complete the purchase is one of the most important elements of any e-commerce brand’s advertising efforts, they spend heavily on customer acquisition through social media and other channels.
As marketing spend increases, customer acquisition cost increases too. However, if the acquired customer doesn’t complete the purchase owing to the reasons mentioned-above and drops-off, the brand’s spending goes in vain on getting the customer to its product page. Now, the customer acquisition cycle begins again, which leads to a further rise in CAC with a negative impact on profitability.
A customer dropping off due to poor customer experience may forever be lost. Therefore, it is imperative that the brand alleviates all the pain points that customers face through the shopping funnel and provide them with a seamless experience.
