DamaSoft SìContrassegno Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Cash on delivery (in Italian contrassegno) sells a lot, but every fake order or refused parcel costs you shipping, return and time.
SìContrassegno asks customers who pay cash on delivery to confirm their mobile number with a 6-digit SMS code, right inside the checkout, before the order is placed. Real customers confirm in a few seconds; fake numbers and pranksters stop there.
What it does
- SMS code before the order – only for cash on delivery, inside the classic checkout and the Checkout block. The box adapts to your theme and needs no extra scripts or libraries.
- Your own SMS account, no middleman – connect Twilio, Brevo or Skebby. You pay the provider directly, a few cents per SMS. SìContrassegno adds no fees.
- Smart rules – verify every cash on delivery order or only new customers, only above a minimum total, and remember verified registered customers.
- Italian address check – warns when the postcode (CAP) does not match the province or the house number is missing, and can block cash on delivery until it is fixed.
- Refused parcel history – two new order statuses, “Refused on delivery” and “Not collected”, and a pseudonymised history of who refused. It can be rebuilt from your past orders, even if you used another status before.
- Protected credit – limits per phone, IP address and session, a daily SMS cap and a list of accepted countries stop bots from draining your SMS credit. Running out of credit never lets orders through without verification.
- Safe when the provider is down – choose whether to accept orders marked “not verified” or to suspend cash on delivery. Problems that need merchant action have admin email alerts; temporary connection failures are shown in the settings.
- 2-minute setup – a 3-step wizard (provider, test SMS, rules) and a dashboard widget that shows what needs your attention.
- Privacy first – phone numbers, emails and addresses are stored only as keyed hashes, with automatic retention and full support for the WordPress personal data export and erase tools.
- Compatible – WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS), classic and block checkout. English source strings, ready for Italian and other community language packs through Translate WordPress.org.
Premium add-on
The free plugin is complete and works on its own. The optional SìContrassegno Premium add-on, sold separately on damasoft.net, adds:
- risk score from 0 to 100 on every order, with the reasons;
- adaptive checks: customers who already received an order check out without a code, risky ones get more checks;
- automatic blocking of customers who already refused a parcel;
- code and pre-shipping confirmation on WhatsApp;
- online deposit with the payment methods already active in your shop, also without a credit card (for example paysafecard, bought in cash at the tobacconist, or Satispay, when available in your shop), with a step-by-step illustrated guide for the customer, the payment link by SMS and one reminder;
- proof of payment: who pays the deposit by bank transfer attaches the receipt, you confirm with one click;
- manual review of doubtful orders;
- savings dashboard.

External services
To send the verification codes the plugin connects to one SMS provider: the one you choose and configure. Nothing is sent until a provider is configured, and nothing is sent to DamaSoft.
What is sent, and when: when a customer paying cash on delivery asks for a code at checkout, or when you send yourself a test SMS from the settings, the plugin sends the mobile number, the text of the message (which contains the code, your shop name and, if enabled, your domain for automatic code filling) and the sender name, together with your provider credentials for authentication.
Requests to the configured provider also include the plugin name and version and the site’s home URL in the HTTP User-Agent header. This request metadata is sent regardless of whether automatic code filling is enabled; the optional domain line inside the SMS message is a separate feature.

The settings page links to the websites of these providers so you can create an account; those links are opened only if you click them.
