Order confirmation on WhatsApp, straight from Shopify.

What the flow uses from Shopify.

Nonito receives orders, abandoned checkouts, customers, products and collections from Shopify. For this flow it listens for one event and uses a handful of fields from it. Discount codes are created in your Shopify store, one per customer, with the expiry you set.

3 WhatsApp templates to copy.

Use them as they are or rewrite them in your voice. The variables in braces are filled from Shopify at send time.

Hi {{first_name}}

We have received your order {{order_number}}.

Order details:
{{order_items}}

Total {{order_total}}, cash on delivery.

Please confirm below so we can prepare it.

How to set up order confirmation on WhatsApp from Shopify

Then build the flow

1. Create the flow, choose Trigger Event, and select order created.
2. Add a Wait node and set it to 1 hour.
3. Add a Filter node on payment method, so cash on delivery and prepaid take different paths.
4. On the cash-on-delivery path, add a WhatsApp node with your button template. Map the order number, items and total.
5. Add a Responses node to catch the tap and write the result back to the order.
6. On the prepaid path, add a plain confirmation with no buttons.
7. Send a test order to your own number, tap each button, and check the order updates.
8. Turn it on. Every order that follows a message is attributed back to this flow in the dashboard, so you can see what it earned.

Where this goes wrong

• If the confirmation goes out before your warehouse sees the order, a customer can cancel faster than your team can stop the pick. Wait an hour.
• Counter staff need a reason to ask for a number. A receipt sent to WhatsApp is a reason; "for our records" is not.
• Treat a non-reply as a soft signal, not a cancellation. Plenty of real customers simply do not answer.
