🍀Shopify + WhatsApp Marketing Automation- Sample Use Cases

In this section, we will show some sample WhatsApp Marketing use cases and show how to build them. We want to thank Alpha Marketer for providing the use cases.

If you want to use Dynamic URL like Abandoned Checkout URL, You need to add suffix. So for example https://ecomwave.com/AYSF34 link to pass dynamically, in WhatsApp Message Template URL, use https://ecomwave.com/{{url|example}}. Notice a few things:

You cannot make the full URL dynamic. If you need to do that, use our helper redirection url: https://gtlc.cc/r/?link={{url|example}}
In the url variable, add a variable with an example like this: {{url|example}}.

Abandoned Checkout Recovery Messages

Checkout abandonment is when a shopper goes through their journey by adding an item(s) to their cart, entering their personal and credit card information in the checkout step, and then deciding not to complete their purchase (whether they have an account or as a guest checkout).

Upsell Messages

If your product needs repeated usage for a longer period of time to get results. Then why not ask the customer to re-order? Great for increasing the Lifetime Value of the customer (LTV).
