Potential risks of Cash on Delivery (COD) Transactions - see this article (https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/loan-sharks-using-food-delivery-services-harass-debtors-police-warn).
There are risks of non-deliveries, pranks and scams when using Cash on Delivery (COD) transactions in most, if not all delivery platforms.
The consumers will have to bear the full risk of non-deliveries if they are aware of the non-delivery risks and yet decided to make advance payments (via PayNow or bank transfers) to the deliverers. It is worse if such communications and exchanges of PayNow number and amounts payable details are provided outside of ChewApp in-app chat, i.e., leaving ChewApp and chatting on WhatsApp. For such cases, ChewApp is unable to assist the parties nor authorities in any investigations.
On the other hand, deliverers who knows the risk of COD transactions, and still choose to purchase and pay for the food/ items in advance will have to bear the full risk of pranks of fake delivery addresses, etc. ChewApp has provided COD option because some users wanted to have COD as payment mode. Users (both deliverers and consumers) who choose to continue to transact based on COD must accept that they are personally responsible and will have to bear the full inherent risks of COD transactions.
As a platform, ChewApp encourages all users (for posting of Request or Offer) to select the Preferred payment as ChewPay (credit card payment for consumers and crediting of the transactions’ income into the deliverers’ e-Wallet) to mitigate and/or minimize, if not eliminate, risks of non-deliveries, pranks and scams.
Once the food/items’ cost and delivery fee is agreed, deliverer will sent an all-in "offer" price (food/items' cost + delivery fee) for the consumer to accept. The consumers will make the final decision to accept (or reject) and pays using credit card (ChewApp uses Stripe, an established 3rd party payment gateway for processing of credit card payments).Once the payment is processed, the consumer is unable to cancel the order. The deliverer’s non-payment risk is now mitigated and can commence to purchase the item and complete the delivery
Consumers' non-delivery risk can be mitigate by ChewApp’s ability to withhold the payment to deliverer for any non-delivery reports. Subject to ChewApp’s investigation based on the reports and evidences (provided by either or both parties), ChewApp may be refunded the monies to the consumers, when justifiable.
In summary, to mitigate non-deliveries, pranks and scams risks, users should choose ChewApp as the preferred payment option.

As deliverers, which model may be more flexible and beneficial?
Hope this infographic will be helpful to differentiate the differences so that consumers can make a more informed decision on which marketplace delivery platform and type of deliverers to support.

There are always risk when transacting based on Cash on Delivery.
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/consumer/delivery-riders-vexed-by-fake-foodpanda-orders-that-may-be-linked-to-loanshark
The risk burden lies on the shoulders of who (requester or
deliverer) goes out-of-pocket first during the transaction. So, it is best to post using Credit Card payment mode at ChewApp as risk will be mitigated.
Happy Chewing!
