# How to Convert a Draft Order Into a Cash on Delivery (COD) Order in Shopify

In this guide, you’ll learn how to manually convert a draft order into a standard order using the Cash on Delivery (COD) payment method in Shopify. This process can be useful when you’ve recovered an abandoned order or made edits to an order created through the Releasit COD form.

### Step-by-Step Instructions

1. **Open the Draft Order and Set Payment as Due Later**
* In your Shopify admin, open the draft order you want to convert.
* Scroll down and activate the Payment due later option to mark the order as unpaid and ready for COD.
