COD in Costa Rica, run as one operation

Fufills runs the full COD execution stack in Costa Rica: order confirmation before dispatch, multi-carrier delivery, cash collection, reconciliation and settlement on the schedule set in your contract. Costa Rica has higher card penetration than its Central American neighbours but COD still represents ~35% of e-commerce volume. The mix favours hybrid merchants who can serve both rails.
