Omnisend lets owners and admins export all contacts, or a segment, to CSV with email and SMS consent and opt-in dates.
Shopify connects in a few clicks and is live the same day. Odoo connects through Nitro, which we set up with you during onboarding.
Omnisend does not document an export for email templates or automations, so we rebuild the ones you use from screenshots and copy.
Start with order confirmation, abandoned cart and post-purchase feedback, which we set up with you. Cancel Omnisend once they are sending and you can see the orders they bring back.
It depends on the channel your customers answer on. If it is WhatsApp, look for one built on the WhatsApp Business Platform that also sends SMS and email, reads Arabic properly, and connects to the store you sell on. Nonito does that for Shopify and Odoo brands, and the side by side above shows where Omnisend is the better fit.
Meta charges $0.0792 per marketing message and $0.0440 per utility message to Kuwait numbers, at its list rates from 1 October 2026. Every provider pays Meta these rates; what differs is what the provider adds on top. Nonito’s own per-message prices are on the pricing page.
Omnisend’s pricing, automation and Shopify App Store pages, checked on 12 October 2026, list email, SMS and web push. Its help centre covers WhatsApp through third-party tools such as Chatarmin, where the WhatsApp flows are built outside Omnisend. In Nonito, WhatsApp is the main channel and lives in the same flows as SMS and email.
It can send them, but Omnisend’s own help centre says it does not natively render right-to-left text, and suggests a custom style that may still leave punctuation out of place. If most of your customers read Arabic, test your templates carefully before you switch anything over.
