The problem it solves

Customers want to know what's happening with their order right away, but checking in by email means they might not see it for hours. You're stuck choosing between manually messaging every customer or leaving them to wonder where their order is.

Who it fits

Ecommerce store owners who want faster, more visible order updates than email alone provides.

How it works

  1. Triggers when an order event happens in Shopify, like a payment or fulfillment
  2. Checks that the customer has a phone number on file
  3. Sends them a pre-approved WhatsApp order update
What you get

Customers updated the moment orders ship

You keep customers automatically updated on WhatsApp the moment their order is placed or ships.

What you get

A WhatsApp message to the customer confirming their order status.

What you need

A Shopify store and a WhatsApp Business messaging account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
