Shipping both ways
Either you absorb it and it eats into your margin, or you pass it on to the customer and lose them.
For stores that sell cash on delivery
Confirm orders before they ship, not after they come back
Handova reviews every cash-on-delivery order, confirms the risky ones with the customer on WhatsApp, and stops likely returns before you pay for shipping both ways.
- From your number or Handova’s
- No need to change your system
- You make the final call

Hi Mona, we’d like to confirm your order before it ships:

Confirmed, ready to ship

- Shopify
- WooCommerce
- EasyOrders
- Bosta
- WhatsApp Business
A return costs more than the shipping
Every returned order sets off a chain of losses, and most of them never show up in your books.
Stock on hold
While the parcel is on the road you can’t sell that item to a serious buyer, and it may come back after the season is over.
Wasted ad spend
You paid to win that order, and when it was refused, all of it went to waste.
Your team’s time
Confirmation calls, chasing the courier, answering customers. Time that could have gone into selling.
Handova deals with all of this before the order ships.
How it works, in 3 steps
No code, and no change to the way you work.
Step 1: Connect your store and courier
Shopify, WooCommerce or EasyOrders, plus Bosta for shipping. We read your new and past orders.
Step 2: See your loss report
We analyse your past orders and show you how much returns cost you, and how many were predictable from the start.
Step 3: Turn on protection
Risky orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before shipping; safe ones ship straight away, with no delay.
Everything you need to cut returns
WhatsApp confirmation from your number or ours
Customers get the message in your store’s name and reply with one tap. Send from your own number and keep using WhatsApp Business, or from Handova’s number with no setup at all.
A risk score for every order
A vague address, a missing digit, a customer who refused before, a duplicate order. We tell you why an order looks risky.
Deposits for risky orders
Ask only risky customers for a small upfront payment, without turning off cash on delivery for everyone.
Loss and savings report
See what you lost and what you saved this month, and your refusal rate before and after Handova. Numbers, not guesses.
Courier sync and tracking
Confirmed orders ship, cancelled ones stop, and every shipment’s status is in one place.
A simple mobile app
Follow your orders and make decisions from your phone, whether you’re in the warehouse or out and about.
What your customer sees: a simple message from your store
A clear message with their order details and your store’s name, so it never looks odd or like a scam. And you choose whether it’s sent from your number or Handova’s.
- The total and the address are in the message, so there are no surprises on delivery.
- The customer replies with one tap, or types the correct address if it’s incomplete.
- If they don’t reply, we remind them once and you decide whether to ship.
- Any customer can stop the messages at any time.

Your number, your account

Risk scores are calculated from your own store’s orders, and we never share your customers’ data with another store.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to change my store’s WhatsApp number?
No. We connect your current number, and if you use the WhatsApp Business app you can keep using it alongside Handova. If you’d rather not connect your number, we send from Handova’s.
Who pays for WhatsApp messages?
If you send from your number, Meta bills you directly on your card and Handova only charges the flat subscription. If you send from ours, you top up credit and messages are deducted from it.
Does Handova cancel orders on its own?
No. Only risky orders are confirmed with the customer, and the final decision is always yours.
Does it work with my courier?
We’re starting with Bosta. Tell us which one you use; it helps us decide what comes next.
What if the customer doesn’t reply?
We remind them once. After that the order’s status shows up for you, and you decide whether to ship it or wait.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, at any time from settings. The details are in the terms of service.
What if my credit runs out?
If you send from Handova’s number, messages pause until you top up your credit again.
Is there an AI plan?
Coming soon. It will score a customer’s risk from their history across stores, not just from your own orders.
