常见问题

Why are Cash on Delivery (COD) return rates higher than prepaid options in Thailand?

COD transactions require no initial financial commitment from the buyer at checkout. This frictionless process often leads to high impulse buying behaviors, customer regret, and subsequent package rejections at the doorstep.

How does the automated LINE API verification flow help lower COD returns?

It sends an automated, interactive Flex Message straight to the buyer's LINE app immediately after checkout. Buyers must tap 'Confirm' to approve dispatch, filtering out non-serious or fake orders before fulfillment.

What happens if a customer does not use LINE or ignores the confirmation message?

The system activates a two-way interactive SMS backup loop. The customer receives a text message and can reply with a simple digit (e.g., reply '1' to confirm) to validate their purchase.

How does database address validation prevent failed shipments?

By integration with Thailand Post databases, the checkout flow auto-completes and structures physical addresses. This eliminates missing fields and incorrect zip codes, which reduces 'undeliverable package' statuses by up to 35%.

Is automated verification better than having customer service staff call buyers?

Yes. Automation processes confirmations in seconds rather than minutes, operates 24/7 without limitations, and slashes transactional confirmation costs from 20 Baht to under 3 Baht per order.
