   - Discount in percent - only the freight cost.

   - Add VAT - applies to the entire shipment.
   
   
   
   
4. Click OK to save. 
   
   
5. When entering the COD amount on the shipment, it will automatically be updated with the factors from the COD calculator. 

Create a shipment with COD

In the production view of Ship On-premises, there's a COD section at the bottom. To send a shipment with COD, enter the amount as shown in the picture. This will only work if the carrier supports COD shipments, and some carriers may require a COD add-on service.

The COD account will automatically update based on the receiver's address when you select a different country. If the new country isn't in the COD setup item, the last value will be used.
