<h2>Instant order notifications on the world’s famous messaging app.</h2>
<p>Nowadays, everyone uses WhatsApp as their primary messaging application instead of the native SMS application on their phone. To communicate effectively with customers regarding their order notifications, it is best to use WhatsApp. By using the native WhatsApp API, this plugin sends all order-related updates directly to the customer’s WhatsApp number. </p>
<p>The order notifications would be sent to the store admin as well. So now each time an order pops up, the store admin will get a WhatsApp notification instantly. No more missed orders, no more constant email checks.</p>

<h2>How it works</h2>
<h3>Backend</h3>
<p>To make the plugin work, you need to do some configuration from your WordPress Dashboard.<br />Navigate to <strong>Dashboard > WhatsApp Notifications > Settings</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-18734003966257 aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/doc-for-woocommerce.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="516" /></p>
<p>Follow this <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/order-notifications-on-whatsapp/#section-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a> to retrieve all the Tokens, Numbers & Account IDs to fill in the “WhatsApp API” tab above. Fill those and click on “Save Changes”</p>
<p>Now it’s time to create the WhatsApp templates. Please navigate to <strong>Dashboard > WhatsApp Notifications > WhatsApp Templates</strong> and click on Add new</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734003966271" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/t-1_955da2.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="852" /></p>
<p>Give your template a name and add message <strong>‘header’, ‘body’, </strong>and <strong>‘footer’</strong> content to it and publish it.</p>
<p>Now you can set the created templates to order triggers such as “New order, pending order, order on hold, order processed, order completed notifications etc…”</p>
<p>Navigate to <strong>Dashboard > WhatsApp Notifications > Settings > Order Notification Triggers</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18734003966280" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/ont_9f94f9.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="2796" /></p>
<p>In this tab, you can Enable the “Opt-in” checkbox for the customer to opt-in for the WhatsApp order notifications. If you enable this, the opt-in will be displayed for the customer on the checkout page.</p>
<p>The rest of the settings in this tab are to enable order notifications on WhatsApp for different order statuses like ‘order placed, pending, processed, shipped, completed…’ etc. You can choose a <strong>different WhatsApp template</strong> for each order status here.</p>
<p>We also have an interesting “Click to Chat” feature. To enable this awesome feature, please navigate to <strong>Dashboard > WhatsApp Notifications > Settings > Click to Chat</strong><br />Enabling this option will show a floating WhatsApp chat button on your website. By clicking on this button, your customers can interact with the store admin on WhatsApp regarding their product-related queries.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-18734003966323" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cc_197424.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="456" /></p>

<h2>Example usage</h2>
<p>Clive manages a WooCommerce store selling party equipment, generally his customers leave ordering until near the party date and they often want to know exactly when a product will arrive. Each product displays the time the customer must order by to receive their party equipment by a specific date. This results in less questions sent to his customer service team and customers know exactly when to expect their products to be delivered.</p>
