## Description

**COD Express Checkout** adds a streamlined, one-click checkout form directly beneath
the product price on WooCommerce single product pages. This form appears **only 
when Cash on Delivery (COD) is enabled** as a payment method, allowing customers
to bypass the traditional cart  checkout flow entirely.

#### Perfect for COD-Heavy Markets

Cash on Delivery dominates in specific regions:

 * **Middle East**: 60-80% of e-commerce transactions are COD
 * **South Asia** (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh): 50-70% COD preference
 * **Southeast Asia**: 40-60% COD usage
 * **Latin America**: Growing COD adoption

#### Key Features

 * ⚡ **Express Checkout Form** – Displays directly on product page
 * 🎯 **COD-Specific** – Only shows when COD payment is enabled
 * 📱 **Mobile Optimized** – Responsive design for all devices
 * ⚙️ **Fully Configurable** – Toggle fields, customize labels, reorder fields
 * 🔄 **Variable Products** – Full support for variable products with variations
 * 📝 **Order Notes** – Optional customer notes field
 * 🔒 **Secure** – Nonce verification, input sanitization, rate limiting
 * 🌐 **Translation Ready** – Full i18n support
 * 🎨 **Theme Agnostic** – Works with any WordPress theme
 * 🔗 **Developer Friendly** – Extensive hooks and filters
 * 📍 **Shortcode Support** – Place the form anywhere on your site

#### How It Works

 1. Customer lands on a product page
 2. Sees the express checkout form below the price
 3. For variable products, selects their preferred variation
 4. Fills in name, phone, and address
 5. Clicks “Order Now – Pay on Delivery”
 6. Order is created instantly via AJAX
 7. Customer sees confirmation message

No cart page. No checkout page. Just one form, one click!

#### Conversion Benefits

 * **Reduce cart abandonment** by 50%+
 * **Capture impulse buyers** at peak buying intent
 * **Decrease checkout time** from 3-5 minutes to under 60 seconds
 * **Improve mobile conversion rates** with simplified flow
