codeatoz

CodeAtoZ – Cloud Messaging for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store directly to Meta’s WhatsApp Business Cloud API. Send order confirmations, processing updates, shipping notifications, and delivery alerts to your customers on the world’s most popular messaging app — without paying any third-party BSP middleman.
You pay Meta’s per-conversation pricing directly. No markup, no monthly platform fees, no vendor lock-in. Meta gives every business 1,000 free service conversations per month, which covers most small stores entirely.
<h4>Why use WhatsApp for order notifications?</h4>
<ul>
<li>98% open rates — compared to ~20% for email. Customers read WhatsApp messages within minutes.</li>
<li>No SMS costs — WhatsApp Cloud API is dramatically cheaper than SMS gateways in most countries.</li>
<li>Two-way conversation — customers can reply with questions, change requests, or feedback.</li>
<li>Mobile-first — works perfectly on every smartphone, no app installation needed by the customer.</li>
<li>Trusted channel — customers already use WhatsApp daily, no learning curve.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features (Free version)</h4>

</ul>
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Online stores that want to stop losing customers to email-overload — WhatsApp gets read, email doesn’t.</li>
<li>Stores in WhatsApp-heavy markets (India, Brazil, Indonesia, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, etc.) where customers prefer WhatsApp over SMS.</li>
<li>Direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands that want a personal, mobile-first customer experience.</li>
<li>B2B / wholesale stores that need fast confirmation and shipping updates to business buyers.</li>
<li>High-ticket stores where lost orders are expensive and proactive communication directly affects conversion.</li>
<li>Cash-on-Delivery (COD) markets where confirmation messaging dramatically reduces fake orders (basic version free; OTP verification in Pro).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pro version</h4>
A Pro add-on plugin is available on <a href="https://codeatoz.com/whatsapp-commerce-engine" rel="nofollow ugc">codeatoz.com</a> that unlocks advanced commerce automation modules:
<ul>
<li>Abandoned Cart Recovery — automatic follow-up sequences for incomplete checkouts (configurable delay + max messages + multi-step cadence)</li>
<li>COD Verification with OTP — verify Cash-on-Delivery orders before fulfillment (massive fake-order reduction)</li>

<li>Address Confirmation — interactive button confirmation for high-value or risky orders</li>
<li>WhatsApp Returns Flow — full conversational return request, photo upload, refund/exchange selection</li>
<li>Catalog Sync — push your WooCommerce product catalog to WhatsApp Business Catalog</li>
<li>WhatsApp OTP Login — passwordless customer login with phone + WhatsApp one-time code</li>
<li>Unlimited staff phones (free is limited to 1)</li>
<li>Multi-language template auto-detection for non-English markets</li>
<li>Quiet Hours engine — respect customer timezones, avoid 3 AM notifications</li>
<li>Analytics dashboard — charts, per-module breakdown, delivery rates, revenue recovered</li>
<li>Inline-send architecture — sub-second message delivery using fastcgi_finish_request</li>
<li>Premium template library + priority email support</li>
</ul>
The Pro version is a separate, standalone plugin — not a paid feature unlock of this free plugin. If you only ever use the free version, every free feature listed above will keep working forever with no nag screens or time limits.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to and uses the following external services to deliver its core functionality. By installing and using this plugin you acknowledge that data is transmitted to these services.
WhatsApp Business Cloud API (Meta Platforms, Inc.)
<ul>
<li>What it is used for: Sending WhatsApp messages (order notifications, opt-in confirmations, transactional alerts), receiving delivery and read receipts via webhook, fetching the merchant’s approved message-template list.</li>
<li>What data is sent: Recipient phone number (only for customers who have opted in), message template name, template variables (e.g. customer first name, order ID, order total, shipment tracking URL), and the merchant’s access token for authentication.</li>
<li>When data is sent: Whenever a WooCommerce order changes status, when a customer opts in or out, when the merchant clicks “Refresh templates”, and when the merchant triggers a test message.</li>
<li>Service endpoint: https://graph.facebook.com (Meta Graph API, v21.0)</li>
<li>Provider: Meta Platforms, Inc.</li>
<li>Terms of Service: https://developers.facebook.com/terms</li>
<li>Privacy Policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-policy</li>
</ul>
This plugin does not connect to any other external service. All other functionality (message queue, log, settings, subscriber list, dashboard) runs entirely on your own WordPress install. No telemetry, no analytics, no tracking pixels.
<h3>Privacy & Data Handling</h3>
This plugin stores the following customer data locally in your WordPress database:
<ul>
<li>Phone numbers — in the subscribers table and the message log. Only for customers who explicitly opt in at checkout.</li>
<li>Message content and delivery status — in the message log table. Retained for the duration set in Settings → Advanced → Log Retention (default 90 days, configurable from 7–365 days).</li>
<li>Meta API credentials — access token, phone number ID, business account ID. Stored encrypted (OpenSSL AES-256-CBC) in the <code>wp_options</code> table.</li>
<li>Opt-in consent records — timestamp + IP address of the consent event, stored alongside customer phone number for legal compliance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Data export & erasure</h4>
Customers can request their personal data via the standard WordPress Personal Data Export / Erasure tools (Tools → Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data). This plugin registers the appropriate WordPress GDPR hooks to include WhatsApp messaging data in exports and to erase it on request.
Customers can also send the keyword “STOP”, “UNSUBSCRIBE”, “QUIT” or “END” to your WhatsApp Business number to opt out immediately — no email or admin intervention needed.
<h4>Data sent to Meta</h4>
Meta receives the phone number and message content of every outbound notification. Meta’s WhatsApp Business privacy policy governs how they handle that data (link above). The plugin does not send any other customer data (name, address, email, purchase history) to Meta unless you explicitly include those values in your message template variables.
