What does this number mean?

Cash on delivery looks free but hides a killer cost: every door-refused order costs you shipping both ways with zero revenue — and refusals eat the profit of successful orders. Typical rate in Saudi is 8–20% by category. This tool gives you your expected profit per attempted order and the killer refusal rate at which the order flips into a loss — so you know when to push prepaid.
