Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Shopify to WhatsApp?

Link the store to your WhatsApp API channel, get the utility templates approved, then build the automation workflows for cart abandonment, order confirmation and shipping updates. Setup is usually done in one session.

What is COD to prepaid conversion and does it work?

When a customer places a cash-on-delivery order, an automated WhatsApp message offers a small discount to pay online instead. It works because a prepaid order will not be refused at the door, and in Indian ecommerce the RTO cost usually exceeds the discount comfortably.

Link to this answer
Do order update messages cost the marketing rate?

No. Order confirmations, shipping and delivery updates are utility templates tied to a transaction, and Meta charges them at the lower utility rate.

Link to this answer
Will cart recovery beat my email flow?

It usually reaches far more people on mobile-first audiences, because promotional email often is not opened. The honest caveat is that WhatsApp charges per message and email does not, so judge it on recovered revenue against message cost.
