Send real WooCommerce order messages on WhatsApp a minute after you install it.<\/strong> No Meta developer app, no access tokens, no phone number IDs: click Connect and your first 100 WhatsApp messages are free from the WALoops number. When you are ready, connect your own WhatsApp number and messages go out under your store's name, with no per-message charge from us.<\/p>\n\n Your customers read WhatsApp. They do not read order emails. This plugin sends your WooCommerce order notifications on WhatsApp, asks cash on delivery buyers to confirm before you ship, and brings back shoppers who leave at checkout.<\/p>\n\n Turn each message on or off with a switch:<\/p>\n\n Messages use WhatsApp's approved order templates and show your product photo or store logo at the top.<\/p>\n\n Fake and impulse cash on delivery orders cost you shipping both ways. With COD verification on, every cash on delivery order gets a WhatsApp message with Confirm Order<\/strong> and Cancel Order<\/strong> buttons:<\/p>\n\n A new WhatsApp<\/strong> column in the Orders list shows who confirmed, who cancelled and who has not replied yet.<\/p>\n\n When a shopper types their phone number at checkout and leaves without ordering, the plugin waits (30 minutes by default) and sends one WhatsApp reminder. The link in the message rebuilds their cart, coupons included,<\/strong> and opens checkout. Works with both the classic checkout and the block checkout. Orders that come back through a reminder get an order note.<\/p>\n\n A floating WhatsApp button on every page. Shoppers tap it and a chat with you opens, with a message already typed (it can include the page they were on). Choose left or right, desktop and mobile, with or without a label.<\/p>\n\n An Order on WhatsApp<\/strong> button under Add to cart. It opens a chat with the product name, the chosen options, quantity and price filled in, so you can take orders in WhatsApp. Optional button on the cart page sends the whole cart. Shortcode: WhatsApp is a trademark of WhatsApp LLC (Meta Platforms, Inc.). WooCommerce is a trademark of Automattic Inc. This plugin is made by WALoops and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by WhatsApp, Meta or Automattic.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to the WALoops<\/strong> service (https:\/\/app.waloops.com), run by WALoops, to send WhatsApp messages. Nothing is sent until the store owner clicks Connect<\/strong> on WooCommerce \u2192 WhatsApp. The chat button and the Order on WhatsApp button do not use WALoops: they only open a link to wa.me (WhatsApp) in the shopper's browser when tapped.<\/p>\n\n After you connect, this data is sent to WALoops:<\/p>\n\n WALoops calls back to this site (a signed request to WALoops sends messages through the WhatsApp Business Platform (Meta).<\/p>\n\n The plugin also suggests text for your site's privacy policy (Settings \u2192 Privacy).<\/p>\n\n\n When your 100 free messages are used, click Connect your own WhatsApp number<\/strong> and follow the steps in your WALoops dashboard. Sending moves to your number by itself once Meta approves your message templates.<\/p>\n\n\n The plugin is free. Order messages start with 100 free messages from the WALoops WhatsApp number. After that, connect your own WhatsApp number: WALoops adds no per-message charge on your own number, and Meta bills its own conversation charges to your WhatsApp Business account. The chat button and the Order on WhatsApp button are free and need no account.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not to start. The first 100 messages go out from the WALoops number. To use your own number, you connect it from your WALoops dashboard with Meta's guided sign-up; no developer account or code needed.<\/p><\/dd>\n Until you connect your own number, messages come from the WALoops WhatsApp number and show your product photo or logo. With your own number connected, messages come from your number and name.<\/p><\/dd>\n When an order is placed with Cash on Delivery, the customer gets a WhatsApp message with Confirm Order and Cancel Order buttons. Confirm adds an order note and marks the order \"COD confirmed\" in the Orders list. Cancel cancels the order, unless it has already moved past Processing or On hold, in which case a note tells your team instead.<\/p><\/dd>\n WooCommerce's built-in Cash on Delivery gateway ( The default messages use templates WhatsApp has already approved, so they work from day one. Once your own number is connected, you can create your own templates in your WALoops dashboard and pick them for each message under Connections.<\/p><\/dd>\n Usually the phone number is missing or has no country code. The plugin adds your store's country code to numbers typed without one. Each send and its result is listed in your WALoops dashboard under Connections \u2192 Runs.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, both.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Orders are sent in the background by WooCommerce's Action Scheduler, after checkout has finished.<\/p><\/dd>\n Connect the plugin and it pauses those WooCommerce webhooks for you, so customers do not get every message twice.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nOrder notifications on WhatsApp<\/h4>\n\n
