<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>

<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.

<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>
