Indonesians, especially when shopping online, increasingly use the cash on delivery (COD) system to pay for goods.

Results

The contribution given by the cod variable is 49% to purchasing decisions. Researchers conducted interviews to strengthen the results. The interview results show that the people of Wamena city choose cod payment because the average estimated delivery from Java to Papua is at least 7 days, so buyers find it easier to control expenses because they only pay when the goods are in hand. This payment system is also felt to be able to avoid bills that come after transactions and can control excessive shopping desires.
Implications
With the increasing trend of COD usage, this study's results underscore the importance of buyers' and sellers' protection for this type of transaction.
Originality/Novelty
