How to set up paid Cash on delivery in Payflow:

1. Install the Payflow app and open the settings for Cash on Delivery Payments.
2. Enable Cash on Delivery (COD) in the Payments section of Shopify.
3. Go to the Shipping and Delivery section in your Shopify settings.
4. Create a new shipping rate with an additional fee, naming it something like "Cash on Delivery (+ 50 INR)" or similar. Make sure the name includes a unique keyword (e.g., "Cash on Delivery" or "COD") that isn't used for prepaid orders, ensuring the customization works as intended.
5. Return to the Payflow app and enter the keyword you used for the COD shipping method in the Shipping method keyword field.
6. Specify the payment method for cash on delivery, which is typically a pre-defined option Cash on Delivery (COD).
7. Save your settings, activate them, and test the setup.

If the cash on delivery option doesn’t show or hide correctly, double-check the keyword and the payment method name. If necessary, go to the Payments section to verify the correct name and input it in Payflow’s settings. In the Pre-defined section, use Equals to and enter the exact name.
