RT Express COD – Order Now Button for WooCommerce

RT Express COD for WooCommerce adds a fast, styleable “Order Now” button to your product pages so customers can place a Cash on Delivery order in seconds — without going through your full multi-step WooCommerce checkout. Clicking the button opens a lightweight modal with a live order summary (subtotal, shipping, tax, and COD fee), real shipping rates from your existing shipping zones, and only the fields you choose to ask for.

For stores that rely heavily on Cash on Delivery — a common setup across many regions — this express checkout flow reduces cart abandonment by removing friction between “I want this” and “order placed.”

The entire experience is React-powered: a modern tabbed settings screen in your WordPress admin, and a self-contained React storefront form/modal that survives almost any theme.

Why Store Owners Use This Plugin

• Turn more product-page visitors into completed COD orders by removing checkout friction.
• Fully customizable “Order Now” button — text, four styles (gradient, solid, outline, soft), colors, sizes, full-width, and an optional cart icon, with a live preview in the admin.
• Real, live shipping rates calculated from the customer’s address using your existing WooCommerce shipping zones and methods.
• Add an optional COD handling fee as a real order fee line.
• Control exactly which fields customers must fill in — name, phone, email, address, and more — with custom phone validation.
• Restrict Express COD by product type, category, or cart total so it only appears where you want it.
• Built on a fast object-cache/transient caching layer, so it stays quick even on high-traffic product pages.
• Fully HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible.

Version 2.0.0 was a full rewrite:

• React admin — a modern, tabbed settings screen mounted inside WordPress, talking to a dedicated REST API.
• React storefront form — the product-page form is a self-contained React app, scoped so it survives almost any theme.
• Working cache layer — settings and per-product form configuration are cached through the object cache (Redis / Memcached) with an automatic transient fallback. One versioned namespace means a single click clears everything.
• Advanced options — order status mapping, COD handling fee, configurable fields and validation, category / amount restrictions, redirect behaviour, custom CSS, admin email notifications, debug mode, and cache controls.

Key Features

• Show the form after the add-to-cart button, before it, or after the product summary.
• Choose which fields appear and which are required (name, phone, email, address, note).
• Custom phone validation via a configurable pattern, enforced on both client and server.
• Map new orders to On hold, Pending payment, or Processing.
• Optional COD handling fee added as a real order fee line.
• Restrict COD by product type, product category, or cart total (min / max).
• Optional redirect to the order-received page or a custom URL after success.
• Per-product configuration is cached for fast, repeat page loads.
• HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible.
