Why can a shop be profitable and still run out of cash?
You pay for stock, ads and salaries now, but COD money reaches you days after the parcel leaves. A shop that is growing, or buying a big batch of stock, can have profit on paper and an empty account in the week the bills fall due. The chart shows that gap.
How long does the courier take to pay COD?
It depends on the courier and on your agreement with them. Look at your last few payouts, count the days from dispatch to the money arriving, and enter that. The tool spreads the payout across weeks, so 10 days means a week and a bit.
What is RTO and how does it change the plan?
RTO is return to origin, the parcels that are refused or cannot be delivered. Those parcels bring no cash, but you still paid the courier and packaging, and the stock comes back to the shelf. Raise the RTO percent to see how much cash a bad return week takes away.
What should I do when the chart goes negative?
You have three levers: delay or split the stock purchase, cut ad spend for a few weeks, or arrange cash before that week, for example an advance from a supplier. The tool shows how much you are short at the lowest point, so you know the amount to arrange.
Does it include prepaid orders?
Yes. Set the share of orders that are paid in advance. That cash arrives in the week of the order, and only the COD part waits for the courier.
Can I keep a copy of the plan?
Yes. Download the CSV to open in Excel or Google Sheets, or print the page. Your numbers are remembered on this device for next time and are never sent anywhere.
