Official WhatsApp API for Shopify orders

Your Shopify store's WhatsApp, on autopilot.

Every order message goes out from your own WhatsApp business number, and iSmart Reach acts on the reply. Confirmed orders get tagged, cancelled orders are cancelled and restocked, and quiet customers get a reminder. You just ship.

How it works

Watch one order run itself.

01 · NEW ORDER

Alex orders with cash on delivery.

Within a minute he gets a message from your own business number, with Confirm and Cancel buttons.

02 · CONFIRMED

One tap, and Shopify knows.

When he taps Confirm, the order is tagged in Shopify. If he cancels, the order is cancelled and restocked. No answer? A reminder goes out.

03 · SHIPPED

The tracking link sends itself.

When you fulfill the order, iSmart Reach waits for the tracking number and sends it. Out for delivery comes next.

04 · DELIVERED

Delivered, or a heads-up if not.

Delivered and failed-delivery messages follow your courier's updates. For TCS, Trax and PostEx, iSmart Reach checks the parcel itself, so customers aren't left guessing.

05 · REVIEW

Then it asks for a review.

A few days later, Alex gets a review request with a link to the product page. Works with Judge.me and other review apps.

What it does

Every order message, sent and handled for you.

Set it up once. Messages go out on time and the replies update your orders in Shopify.

Acts on every reply

Confirmed orders get tagged. Cancelled orders are cancelled and restocked. No answer gets a reminder, then a tag.

Your own number

Customers see your business name and can reply to you. Keep using the WhatsApp Business app on your phone.

Sending hours

Messages wait for your hours, so nobody gets a ping at 2 am.

Sales campaigns

Offers to your Shopify customer segments, now or scheduled.

Every message on the order

Later, “what did we tell this customer?” is one click away in Shopify.

In your customer's language

Ready-made text in seven languages, picked from the language they used at checkout.

Free to start

Every plan has every feature. Plans differ only in how many messages are included.

Why automate

Sending by hand vs iSmart Reach.

Anyone can type “please confirm” on WhatsApp. The work is everything that comes after it.

Official platform

The official WhatsApp Business Platform. No workarounds.

iSmart Reach connects your number through Meta's own sign-up. It never scans a QR code or runs WhatsApp Web in the background, the way unofficial tools do.

WhatsApp Business PlatformOfficial API by Meta
✓

Connected through Meta

You sign in with Meta and pick your business number. Every message goes through Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform API.

✓

No unofficial-tool bans

QR-code and “linked device” tools break WhatsApp's terms, and the numbers using them get banned. On the official platform, that risk is gone.

✓

Keeps your number healthy

Messages use templates Meta has approved, sending is paced, and campaigns only go to customers who agreed to marketing.

Like every business on WhatsApp, you follow WhatsApp's Business Messaging Policy. Meta can limit numbers that send spam or get blocked a lot.

Your number

Live in three steps.

Your number, on Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform. Customers see your business name and can reply to you.

1

Install from Shopify

Start on the free plan. Paid plans are billed by Shopify with your store bill.

2

Connect your number

Sign in with Meta inside the app and pick your WhatsApp business number. It takes a few minutes.

3

Messages send themselves

New orders, shipments and deliveries trigger the right message, in your customer's language.

Work out your monthly cost

On top of your plan, Meta charges a small fee for each message it delivers, billed to your WhatsApp Business account, not by us. Messages customers send you are free. Pick your numbers to see both.

1. Where are your customers?
Meta's fee in Pakistan: $0.015 per order update · $0.047 per marketing message

About 5.3¢ per order, for 1,500 messages.

Meta's USD rates per delivered message from 1 October 2026. Order updates and review requests are utility messages; campaigns and checkout reminders are marketing. Meta changes rates from time to time and lowers utility rates at high volume. See Meta's full rate card ↗

Plans are billed in USD by Shopify. Meta bills its own WhatsApp fees directly to your WhatsApp Business account. Paid plans start with a 14-day free trial.

Prices in USD a month unless stated. Rival details come from each app's Shopify App Store listing, read on 30 October 2026: WhatFlow Business API, Watix, Whatomation. “Not listed” means the listing doesn't mention it. Apps change their plans, so check their listings for today's details. To be fair: Watix's one-time unlimited pack costs less if you send a lot, and WhatFlow's top plan includes more messages.

Moving from a QR-code app?

Apps that link your phone like WhatsApp Web can drop out or get numbers banned. Switching to the official API takes a few minutes.

  • Remove your number from the old app or WhatsApp Web
  • Connect it in iSmart Reach with Meta's own sign-up
  • Turn on the messages you want. Your old chats stay on your phone

FAQ

Questions.

How is this different from sending messages myself?

It sends every message on time without anyone at the phone, and it changes the order in Shopify when the customer taps Confirm or Cancel.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business API account first?

No. Inside the app you sign in with Meta's official sign-up and pick or add your business number. It takes a few minutes.

Can I keep using the WhatsApp Business app on my phone?

Yes. You can connect the same number and keep chatting from the app.

Which number do customers see?

Your own WhatsApp business number and business name, so customers know it's you and can reply to you.

Is it only for cash on delivery stores?

No. Shipping, delivery, review and abandoned checkout messages work for every order.

What happens when a customer cancels or doesn't answer?

The order is tagged so your team can see it. A reminder goes out if there's no answer, and you can let iSmart Reach cancel and restock unconfirmed orders after a time you choose.

Who pays for the WhatsApp messages?

Your iSmart Reach plan covers the app. Meta charges its own small fee for each delivered message, billed directly to your WhatsApp Business account. For example, an order update to a customer in Pakistan costs about $0.015. See Meta's rates under Pricing.

Can I change what the messages say?

Yes. Every message can use your own wording, or our ready-made text in English, Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, German or Spanish.

Does it work with my courier?

Yes. Messages follow your Shopify fulfillments, so any courier or fulfillment app works. For TCS, Trax and PostEx, iSmart Reach can also track parcels itself: add your courier API login in Settings and it checks every few hours, then sends out for delivery, delivered and failed delivery messages, even for parcels booked on the courier's website. Returned parcels don't get a failed delivery message.

Which countries does it work in?

Anywhere Meta's WhatsApp Business Platform is available.

Will my number get blocked?

Unofficial QR-code tools get numbers banned. iSmart Reach uses Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform, so that risk is gone. Messages use Meta-approved templates, go out in a paced queue, and campaigns only go to customers who agreed to marketing. Like any business, you still follow WhatsApp's rules: Meta can limit numbers that send spam.

Can I message all my customers?

Campaigns go only to customers who agreed to marketing in Shopify, as WhatsApp's rules require. Order updates go to everyone who places an order.

Where is my data kept?

Order details stay in Shopify. We keep only what's needed to send messages. See our privacy policy.
