The problem it solves

Every canceled order is a lost sale, but reaching out personally to each customer takes time you don't have on a busy day. By the time you get around to following up, the customer has often already bought somewhere else. Sending messages to unverified or wrong numbers wastes effort and can annoy customers who never see the offer.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners and customer success teams who want to recover canceled orders automatically.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule and checks Shopify for newly canceled orders
  2. A personalized recovery message with a discount code is created for each customer
  3. The customer's WhatsApp number is verified before sending
  4. A message with the discount and reorder link is sent to verified numbers
  5. Results are logged in Google Sheets showing who was sent a message
What you get

Canceled orders you win back with a discount

Automatically send a discount offer over WhatsApp to customers whose Shopify order was canceled.

What you get

A log of recovery messages sent, showing which customers were reached with a discount offer and which numbers couldn't be verified.

What you need

A Shopify store with API access, a Rapiwa account, and a Google Sheets 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.
