FAQ

Common questions

Are WhatsApp order confirmation templates free to send?
WhatsApp order confirmation templates are classified as Utility (transaction-related). Meta charges ₹0.10–0.14 per 24-hour conversation for utility messages in India. This is significantly cheaper than Marketing templates (₹0.58–0.72). A business sending 10,000 order confirmations per month pays approximately ₹1,200–1,400 in Meta conversation fees — less than ₹0.15 per customer.
Can I send abandoned cart messages on WhatsApp in India?
Yes — abandoned cart recovery is one of the most popular and effective WhatsApp use cases for Indian e-commerce. You must send to customers who have explicitly opted in to WhatsApp communication from your store. Abandoned cart templates are classified as Marketing (₹0.58–0.72 per conversation). WooCommerce and Shopify both support webhooks that trigger these messages via WA.Expert automatically.
How do I connect Shopify or WooCommerce to send these templates automatically?
WA.Expert has native Shopify and WooCommerce plugins. Install the plugin, connect your WA.Expert API key, and map order events to templates. For Shopify: WA.Expert Shopify app in the App Store. For WooCommerce: WA.Expert WooCommerce plugin. Both support order confirmation, dispatch, delivery, and abandoned cart automation without any coding.
What is the best WhatsApp abandoned cart sequence for India?
The highest-converting sequence for Indian D2C: Message 1 (30 minutes after abandonment) — gentle reminder with product image and cart link. Message 2 (4 hours after) — social proof: 'X customers bought this today'. Message 3 (24 hours after) — small discount offer (5–8% or free shipping). Stop the sequence the moment the customer places an order. WA.Expert's drip sequence builder handles this automatically.
Can I include product images in WhatsApp order confirmation messages?
Yes — WhatsApp templates support header images. Add an image header to your order confirmation template showing the product purchased. Spec: 800×418px minimum, JPG or PNG, under 5MB. Upload to WA.Expert Media Library first, then reference it when creating the template. Product images in templates increase template engagement by approximately 2–3× compared to text-only messages.
