E-commerce & D2C

WhatsApp automation for online stores that want repeat customers

Customers open WhatsApp more often than email. Use it to confirm orders, keep shoppers informed, recover carts and answer the questions that stop a purchase.

An illustrative order-support conversation.

The challenge

What makes WhatsApp hard to run in e-commerce

  • Where is my order?

    WISMO questions flood support. Automated status messages answer them before customers ask.

  • Abandoned checkouts

    Shoppers leave with items in the cart. A timely, helpful nudge on WhatsApp gets more of them back.

  • Cash-on-delivery risk

    Confirming COD orders on WhatsApp reduces returns-to-origin from orders nobody intended to accept.

FAQ

Common questions

Which store platforms can I connect?

Shopify and WooCommerce have built-in event adapters. Any other platform can post events through the generic webhook or the REST API.

Can I send order updates without the customer messaging first?

Yes, using approved utility templates. Customers should have opted in to receive WhatsApp updates from you.

Can customers pay for COD orders in advance?

You can send a Razorpay payment link in the chat so customers can convert a COD order to prepaid.
