What you can automate

What this integration enables

📦 Full order lifecycle (7 messages)

Confirmed → Payment received → Shipped with tracking → Out for delivery → Delivered → Review request (3 days) → Reorder reminder (30–90 days). All 7 automated.

🛒 3-touch abandoned cart recovery

30 min: reminder. 4 hours: social proof. 24 hours: discount. Stop sequence on purchase. WA.Expert's Shopify app handles cart detection automatically.

💰 COD → Prepaid conversion

COD order confirmed → instant WhatsApp with Razorpay prepaid link and ₹50–100 incentive. Typically converts 15–25% of COD orders to prepaid, improving cash flow and reducing RTO.

📣 New collection launch campaign

Shopify product tagged 'new-collection' → WA.Expert detects → broadcasts to customer segments matching product category interest. Replaces email newsletters.

🔁 Reorder sequences

Shopify order tagged as 'consumable' + purchase date → WA.Expert schedules reorder reminder for 30/45/60 days later. Average reorder conversion: 18–28%.

🎯 Customer win-back

Customer hasn't ordered in 90 days → WA.Expert identifies → win-back sequence: Day 90, Day 105, Day 120. Recovers 8–12% of lapsed customers.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between the WA.Expert Shopify app and a custom webhook integration?
The WA.Expert Shopify app provides a no-code interface for standard e-commerce automations — order lifecycle, abandoned cart, COD recovery. For highly customised setups (custom checkout flows, non-standard order statuses, complex conditional logic based on metafields), use Shopify's webhook system (Shopify Admin → Settings → Notifications → Webhooks) to POST order events directly to WA.Expert's API. The app handles 90% of use cases; the webhook approach handles the 10% that require custom logic.
How does abandoned cart detection work in Shopify with WA.Expert?
WA.Expert's Shopify app uses Shopify's native abandoned checkout webhook (checkouts/create and checkouts/update events). When a customer reaches checkout but doesn't complete the order within your configured window (default 30 minutes), WA.Expert triggers the recovery sequence to the phone number provided at checkout. Anonymous carts without a phone number cannot be recovered.
Can I send WhatsApp campaigns to all my Shopify customers?
Only to customers who have explicitly opted in to WhatsApp marketing communications. WA.Expert's Shopify app adds an optional 'Receive WhatsApp updates' checkbox to your checkout — customers who tick it are added to your WA.Expert opted-in list and can receive Marketing templates. Sending to customers without this consent violates WhatsApp's Business Policy and risks WABA restriction.
