  Good point! I didn't realize this. In Romania where I'm from, cash on delivery is very common. But the scheme couldn't work with credit cards. Very few people encrypt email, and undoubtedly they would send sensitive data.

  We requested phone number. We'd contact them with a bank account to put money into. Back in the day, people didn't even use CC; heck, they refused to transfer via ATM because they thought the money could disappear, so they'd drive up to a cash deposit machine to make online transactions. These days, there are still people who insist on cash. But you can automate it with virtual account numbers. So you'd assign a virtual account number to a customer, which forwards the money to your actual account. But since that virtual account number is uniquely assigned to a customer, you can track that this specific customer paid.
