Cash-on-delivery amounts are sent as a bulk payment, i.e. payments for multiple COD shipments are consolidated into a single payment per customer account.
By agreement, the payment frequency can be set to once per business day, once per week, once every two weeks, or once per month.
A detailed breakdown/notification is sent together with the bulk payment to the customer-defined email address; alternatively, it can be uploaded to the customer’s (s)FTP server.
The notification is in CSV[i] format with the following structure[ii]:
VS: Variable symbol of the payment (automatically generated)
TRK: Shortened shipment number (i.e. instead of 703012345678901, it is shown as 012-34567890)
REF: Shipment reference (specified by the customer when sending a COD shipment)
AMOUNT: COD value of the shipment
CURRENCY: Currency identification of the shipment value
DATE: Date the payment was sent
POD: Date of delivery of the shipment
IBAN: Account number to which the payment was sent
BIC: Identification code of the bank to which the payment was sent
SS: Specific symbol of the payment (the customer may agree on this symbol when signing the contract for all payments)
