For COD stores in MENA
Your store’s revenue is not your money
Shopify counts an order the second someone taps buy. It does not know the customer never picked up the phone, the parcel came back from the door, or the courier charged you for the return leg as well. Akedra subtracts all of it, plus what the product cost you and what you spent on ads, and shows you the one number that actually reaches your bank account.
Illustrative figures from a COD store doing roughly 400 orders a month. Yours will look different. That is the point.
How it works
Three numbers, and only one of them is real
Every COD store is looking at the first number and making decisions with it. That is how a store scales its way into a loss.
Placed
$12,570
The number on your dashboard
Someone tapped buy. Nobody has confirmed anything, nothing has shipped, and no cash has moved. On a COD store a real slice of this never even makes it onto a van, because the customer never answers the confirmation call. It is a list of intentions, not sales.
Delivered
$8,450
Closer, and still not yours
The courier handed the parcel over and collected the cash. Better. But some of it comes back a week later, and you have already paid to ship every refused parcel out and back again. You are also still carrying the cost of the goods and every dollar of ad spend that bought the order.
Kept
$500
What actually lands
Confirmed, delivered, kept, and paid out — with product cost, both shipping legs, courier fees and ad spend already taken out. This is the number that decides whether you can pay yourself this month, and it is the only one Akedra puts in front of you.
Where this is up to
It does not exist yet
Akedra is being built right now. There is no app to log into, no trial to start, and no demo to book. If you sign up today you are joining an email list, and nothing else. We would rather say that plainly than dress a waiting list up as a product.
01The list decides what gets built first. The two questions on that form are the actual roadmap — whichever answer wins is what we ship first.
02The list gets in first. Early access goes out to this list before anywhere else, in the order people joined.
03The list pays the least. Whatever the price ends up being, the people who joined before it launched keep a lower one.
