Events appear here as the conversation moves. Tap a button or suggested reply in the phone to continue. ### Read this example as text ## What does ConvoBox read from Shopify and write back? Store events start the messages. Customer answers come back to the order as tags, and every order is credited to the message that earned it. ### Shopify events that start a message - Order placedConfirmation with items and total - Order placed, CODConfirm or cancel buttons - Checkout abandonedUp to three timed reminders - Fulfilment createdShipped, with tracking - Out for delivery and deliveredDelivery-day alert, then a thank-you and review request - Refund, return, cancelA status message for each ### Tags written back The customer's tap becomes a tag on the Shopify order, so fulfilment ships only what is confirmed. ### Revenue, credited per message Tracking links and a store pixel show recovered cart, campaign and automation revenue separately. ### Set up in four steps 1.

Most D2C brands start with order confirmation, COD confirmation, shipping and delivery updates, and a three-step abandoned cart drip. Repeat-purchase reminders and win-back offers usually come next. ### Does ConvoBox work with Shopify? Yes. ConvoBox is listed on the Shopify App Store and installs in about two minutes, with no theme code changes. ### How is WhatsApp revenue measured? ConvoBox credits each order to the automation or campaign that led to it using tracking links and a store pixel, and shows abandoned cart, campaign and automation revenue separately. ### Do abandoned cart messages need opt-in? Yes. A cart reminder is a marketing message, so send it only to shoppers who agreed to receive WhatsApp marketing at checkout or earlier. Each marketing message includes an opt-out that ConvoBox applies automatically. ## ConvoBox for other industries - [Fashion & apparel](https://www.convobox.in/industries/fashion-apparel/) - [Jewellery](https://www.convobox.in/industries/jewellery/) - [Healthcare & diagnostics](https://www.convobox.in/industries/healthcare-diagnostics/) - [Food & beverage](https://www.convobox.in/industries/food-beverage/) - [Travel & entertainment](https://www.convobox.in/industries/travel-entertainment/) - [Education & creators](https://www.convobox.in/industries/education-creators/) - [Manufacturing & B2B](https://www.convobox.in/industries/manufacturing-b2b/) Get started today ## Start using WhatsApp for your online store Connect your number to the official WhatsApp Business API and launch your first broadcast, chatbot or Shopify automation the same day. - 7-day free trial - No credit card - Official Meta Tech Partner - Hand-held onboarding --- Source: https://www.convobox.in/industries/d2c-ecommerce/ · © ConvoBox Inc
