<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>

Order Notifications on WhatsApp

<p>This plugin sends WhatsApp notifications using the official WhatsApp Cloud APIs for WooCommerce orders. </p>

<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Manage all RMA, warranty, and return requests from a single view in the store administration.</li>
<li>Define warranty terms for products – set expiration periods for limited warranties.</li>
<li>Manage automated email communications during each change in return status.</li>
<li>Maintain free or paid extended warranties for products and variations.</li>
<li>Create your own warranty statuses, and manage the statuses for all return requests.</li>
<li>Customize your RMA code length and format.</li>
<li>Request product images, and track returns to/from your customers, all within the user’s account.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2>RMA Management — Manage, Sell, Facilitate Easy Returns and Warranties</h2>
<p>Manage the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) process, add warranty terms to your products, and allow your customers to request and manage returns and exchanges directly from their user accounts.</p>
<p>When setting up your products, warranties can be assigned to the product or variation directly from the edit product screens. Define warranty or return time periods, give it a price, and update/save your product. Warranties are tied directly to the product themselves – when the warranty expires, so does the ability for the user to request a warranty, return, or exchange.</p>
