How can Shopify stores use WhatsApp?

Shopify stores can use WhatsApp to answer questions, follow up on checkouts, confirm orders, and send shipping updates. Choose the channel your customers prefer, then measure results in your store. No open rate, revenue lift, or return on investment is guaranteed.

How does WhatsApp checkout recovery work?

Checkout recovery is a follow-up message that helps a shopper return to an unfinished purchase. WhatFlow can send a checkout link through a configured WhatsApp workflow. A useful reminder answers a question about shipping, payment, or the product. Send it only when the customer has agreed to receive messages and the message meets WhatsApp’s rules. Measure completed orders against eligible checkouts in your own store; recovery rates vary with the audience, timing, offer, and delivery success.

What is cash on delivery verification?

Cash on delivery (COD) verification asks a shopper to confirm an order before dispatch. WhatFlow can collect a reply and tag the Shopify order so your team can review it. This helps staff decide which orders need attention. A confirmation does not guarantee payment or delivery, and no reply does not prove that an order is fake. Set a clear review policy before canceling orders and measure delivery outcomes for your own store.

How does WhatFlow connect to Shopify?

WhatFlow Business API connects Shopify messaging to the official Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. Shopify Flow is a workflow tool that links triggers, conditions, and actions. Use WhatFlow’s Flow integration to send messages from store events and route customer replies into your process. A shared inbox gives your team a place to respond, and catalog sharing helps staff discuss products. Delivery depends on the workflow, customer consent, template approval, network conditions, and Meta’s service. No fixed delivery time is promised.
