Fashion accessories D2C
See the delivered ROAS Meta never shows you.
A COD-heavy accessories brand posts 3× ROAS in Ads Manager — but 28–35% of those impulse belt, sunglasses and wallet orders never deliver. After reverse shipping and the ₹180–350 dead loss per RTO, real delivered ROAS is barely 2×. Margifi recomputes ROAS on courier-confirmed delivered revenue, per campaign.
- Delivered ROAS on money that actually landed — not booked COD orders.
- ₹180–350 charged back to the exact ad and SKU that caused the RTO.
- COD reliability scored per phone before you ship the order.

Typical Indian fashion accessories benchmarks — your real numbers will differ.
The delivered-ROAS gap
Booked 3×. Delivered barely 2×.
Ads Manager reports ROAS on booked COD orders. Because 28–35% of impulse accessory orders never deliver, the delivered ROAS you actually bank is 30–40% lower — and nobody in the stack reconciles Meta's booked revenue against courier-confirmed delivered revenue.
Profit truth
Profit truth
Meta scales the 3× that never delivered
The pixel fires on order-placed, not delivered — so Meta's algorithm learns the traits of every impulse COD buyer who checks out, including the high-RTO ones who never pay, and goes and finds more of them. You scale budget into a feedback loop that worsens delivery quality, on a delivered ROAS that's 30–40% below the number in Ads Manager. Margifi reconciles booked revenue against courier-confirmed delivered revenue and feeds the real signal back.
- Delivered ROAS + the order-vs-delivered gap, per campaign — recomputed on courier-confirmed delivered revenue against true break-even.
- Delivered CAC vs order CAC + a delivered-revenue feedback signal, so Meta learns your real converters, not your refusers.
- The full profit waterfall: revenue → after COGS → after shipping+returns → after ad spend → net.
Returns & RTO
Returns & RTO
'The colour looked different' — a return-loss you can't trace
Accessories returns aren't about size — they're expectation mismatch: colour, material and scale not matching the edited on-model shot. Bags and belts run ~12% returns, fashion jewelry 10–15%, and each refused COD order silently deletes ₹180–350 in forward + reverse shipping, repackaging and locked capital. At 2,000 COD orders/month and 25% RTO that's ₹9–17 lakh flushed every month — and it's never charged back to the creative that oversold it.

- Return-loss / delivered margin — reverse shipping + write-off charged back to the exact ad/SKU that generated the return.
- Return-reason attribution to SKU/campaign — see which creative manufactured the colour or material mismatch.
COD reliability
COD reliability
COD is 45–65% of orders — and you approve every one blind
Belts, sunglasses and wallets are impulse tier-2/3 buys placed on COD without commitment, and 28–35% of those orders never complete delivery. With no per-phone reliability signal at checkout you ship to serial RTO offenders and repeat bad addresses with zero warning — then wait 2–14 days for remittance while each returned order rides the network with zero revenue against it. Margifi scores the number, not the whole town.
- COD reliability score per phone (RTO Shield) — risk-score the number, not the town, plus COD→prepaid conversion upside.
- Profit waterfall + in-transit capital view — COD remittance lands 2–14 days later; see the cash still riding the network.
- Region/pincode RTO heat — throttle the loss-making zones without choking the Tier-2/3 buyers who convert.
Products & catalogue
Products & catalogue
Your 'bestseller' accessory might be a money-loser
A fast-moving low-margin accessory can go net-negative once its return rate, reverse logistics and ad cost are attributed at the SKU level — accessories run just 15–25% contribution margin, and ~12% returns is enough to flip a thin SKU. But DPA/catalogue ads spread spend across the whole range, including SKUs that 'sell' yet come back at high COD-RTO. Margifi matches every order to its catalog product_id and computes delivered profit per product.
- DPA/catalogue product-level profit — spend, delivered ROAS, RTO and delivered profit per product_id; prune the losers out of the feed. Live
- Per-SKU delivered-profit ranking (Scale/Keep/Stop) — cut the money-losers, reinvest into the winners.
- Dead-stock value & days-of-cover — stop restocking the thin-margin SKUs that lose money on delivery.
Meta showed a clean 3× on my sunglasses line. Once I saw the delivered number after RTO it was barely 2× — and the ₹250 I eat on every refused COD order was landing on my best-selling ad.

Questions
Margifi for fashion accessories — FAQ
More than for anyone. A low AOV means the ₹180–350 round-trip cost of a refused COD order is a bigger share of the order value, and 28–35% of impulse tier-2/3 COD accessory orders never complete delivery. That's what turns a 3× booked ROAS into a barely-2× delivered one.
