Shopify WhatsApp Notifications - Common Questions
How do I send WhatsApp notifications from Shopify?
Install Alintro from the Shopify App Store and connect your WhatsApp number by scanning a QR code (like WhatsApp Web). No Meta Business API approval needed. Once connected, enable the notifications you want to send - order confirmations, shipping updates, etc.
Do I need WhatsApp Business API for Shopify notifications?
No! Alintro offers WhatsApp Web integration that works by scanning a QR code - just like using WhatsApp on your computer. This is perfect for small to medium stores. For high-volume stores (5000+ messages/month), we also support the official WhatsApp Business API.
Is WhatsApp notification free for Shopify?
With Alintro's WhatsApp Web integration, you don't pay per message - it uses your regular WhatsApp. Our app has a free plan with 50 notifications/month. For WhatsApp Business API (enterprise), standard Meta messaging fees apply.
Can I send abandoned cart messages via WhatsApp?
Yes! Alintro automatically detects abandoned carts and sends personalized WhatsApp recovery messages. You can include product images, cart details, and discount codes. Most merchants see higher recovery rates with WhatsApp compared to email.
What's the difference between WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Business API?
WhatsApp Web integration is simpler - just scan a QR code to connect. It's free per message but has some limitations (your phone must stay online, limited to ~1000 messages/day). WhatsApp Business API is official, supports higher volumes, and has advanced features but requires Meta approval and per-message fees.
Can customers reply to WhatsApp notifications?
Yes! Unlike SMS, WhatsApp supports two-way conversations. When customers reply to your notifications, you can see and respond to their messages from the Alintro dashboard or directly from your WhatsApp.
Does the app send WhatsApp messages automatically?
Yes, once configured, Alintro automatically sends WhatsApp notifications based on Shopify events - new order, order shipped, out for delivery, delivered, etc. You can customize which events trigger notifications and what the messages say.
Can I send product images in WhatsApp notifications?
Yes! WhatsApp supports rich media, so you can include product images in order confirmations, abandoned cart messages, and promotional campaigns. This significantly increases engagement compared to text-only SMS.
