WhatsApp cart recovery for Shopify

Built for Shopify stores

Bring Shopify shoppers back to their cart on WhatsApp

When an opted in shopper leaves checkout, DripTell sends a WhatsApp reminder with what they left behind and a button back to their own checkout. If something is holding them back, they reply and your team answers in the same chat.

Meta's WhatsApp message fees apply separately from your DripTell plan.

How it works

From an unfinished checkout to a finished order

  1. 01

    Connect your Shopify store

    Connect Shopify to DripTell and choose who can receive reminders. Only shoppers who opted in to WhatsApp messages from your store are included.

  2. 02

    Set up your reminders

    Follow the setup steps, start from ready made English and Arabic reminders, preview them on a phone and send a test to your own number.

  3. 03

    Send a reminder they can act on

    Each reminder shows the product photo, the items, the total and a Complete my order button that opens the shopper's own checkout.

  4. 04

    Stop the moment it is no longer needed

    An order, a reply, an unsubscribe or a return to the checkout stops the remaining reminders. Replies arrive in your shared inbox.

Every part of the sequence

Everything cart recovery needs, on WhatsApp

Reminders that show the cart

A useful reminder tells the shopper exactly what they left and how to finish.

  • Up to three reminders

    Send up to three reminders, by default 30 minutes, 4 hours and 24 hours after the shopper's last checkout activity. Change the timing to suit your store.

  • The shopper's own cart in the message

    Each reminder carries the first product's photo and the shopper's name, products, total and your store name.

  • A Complete my order button

    The button opens the shopper's own checkout through a tracked link, so you can see who came back.

  • Ready made English and Arabic reminders

    Open ready made reminders in the template builder, add a photo and submit them to Meta for approval.

  • Setup in clear steps

    Choose who gets reminders, write them with a live phone preview, send a test, add a discount and set timing and limits.

Offers that fit the moment

Use an incentive only when it helps, and make it easy to use.

  • Single use discount codes from Shopify

    DripTell creates a unique code for each shopper in Shopify, as a percentage, a fixed amount or free shipping, and the code expires after the time you set.

  • Applied when the shopper taps

    The discount is applied automatically when the shopper opens their checkout from the reminder.

  • Copy code button

    The shopper can copy the code with one tap instead of retyping it.

  • Or one code of your own

    Prefer a single code for everyone? Send your own code instead.

Rules that protect your customers

Good recovery sends fewer, better messages and stops at the right time.

  • Stops when they buy

    An order from the shopper on any store in your workspace stops the reminders still waiting, and so does a return to the checkout.

  • Stops when they reply or opt out

    A reply stops the sequence by default. A STOP reply or Meta's stop promotions option unsubscribes the shopper.

  • Quiet hours in the shopper's country

    Reminders wait for daytime in the shopper's country. Include or exclude countries as you need.

  • Sending limits

    One series per shopper every 24 hours, at most three reminders per person a day and a daily cap for each store. Meta's own per person marketing limit is respected.

  • Opted in shoppers only

    Reminders go only to shoppers who opted in through DripTell's storefront checkbox for Shopify, Shopify's WhatsApp marketing consent or, if you choose, your checkout marketing consent.

Results you can check

See what came back and what each reminder contributed.

  • Cart recovery dashboard

    Recovered revenue and orders, recovery rate and the share of carts whose link was opened.

  • Results for each reminder

    Compare the first, second and third reminder, follow a daily chart and see why reminders stopped.

  • Recent carts

    Review recent carts with each shopper's country at a glance.

  • Revenue credited to recovery

    An order that follows a reminder is credited to cart recovery, and a cancelled order removes the credit.

The part a text message cannot do

A reminder your shopper can answer

Some shoppers stop because of a question about size, delivery or payment. On WhatsApp they can simply ask. The reply lands in your DripTell inbox with the conversation history and stops the remaining reminders, so a teammate or an AI agent you set up can answer and help them finish the order.

  • Replies arrive in the shared inbox your team already uses
  • A reply stops the reminders so nobody talks over the customer
  • Hand the chat to a person when judgment is needed

Choosing a channel

WhatsApp or SMS for cart reminders

Both channels can bring a shopper back. They differ in what the shopper sees, who you can reach and what happens when someone replies.

ReachShoppers who use WhatsApp. Marketing templates are not delivered to US phone numbers todayAny mobile number that can receive texts

WhatsApp suits stores whose customers already chat with them there and want answers before they buy. SMS or email remains the practical reminder for shoppers WhatsApp cannot reach, including US numbers.

How WhatsApp message fees work

Estimate your fees with the WhatsApp pricing calculator
  • Meta charges for each delivered template message. Cart reminders are marketing templates, so each one uses the marketing rate for the shopper's country calling code.
  • When a shopper replies, a 24 hour customer service window opens. Each business number gets 1,000 free service messages a month, and Meta charges from the 1,001st.
  • Meta's fees are separate from your DripTell plan. A daily cap for each store keeps sending under control.

Questions

Before you switch cart reminders to WhatsApp

Which stores does WhatsApp cart recovery work with?

Shopify stores. Connect your store to DripTell, then set up cart recovery from the Cart Recovery page in a few steps.

Which shoppers can receive a reminder?

Only shoppers who opted in, through DripTell's storefront checkbox for Shopify, Shopify's WhatsApp marketing consent or, if you choose, your checkout marketing consent. Meta's WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy requires opt in, so there is no option to message everyone.

Can reminders reach shoppers in the United States?

Not at the moment. WhatsApp does not currently deliver marketing templates, which include cart reminders, to people with US phone numbers. For those shoppers, SMS or email is still the practical reminder channel.

What does each reminder cost?

Meta charges each delivered cart reminder at the marketing rate for the shopper's country calling code, separately from your DripTell plan. Use the WhatsApp pricing calculator to estimate it, and set a daily cap for each store.

Can I offer a discount?

Yes. DripTell can create a single use code in Shopify for each shopper, as a percentage, a fixed amount or free shipping, and apply it when they open their checkout. You can also send one code of your own.

Can shoppers reply to a reminder?

Yes. A reply arrives in your DripTell inbox as a normal conversation and, by default, stops the remaining reminders, so a teammate can answer questions about sizing, delivery or payment.

Do reminders stop when the shopper buys?

Yes. An order on any store in your workspace, a return to the checkout, a reply or a STOP message ends the remaining reminders.
