What Is WhatsApp for E-commerce?
SyncMate connects your store to WhatsApp. Orders, fulfilments and abandoned carts in Shopify or WooCommerce trigger messages from your own number, and customer replies land in a shared inbox your team can answer.
Who is it for?
D2C brands and online stores that want order updates customers actually read.
SyncMate connects to your store with a native app, so setup is no-code end to end. You can run it on your existing number with no Meta verification, or connect the official WhatsApp Business API when you need a verified business identity — both are supported.

FAQs
WhatsApp for E-commerce FAQs
Does SyncMate work with Shopify and WooCommerce?
Yes. There is a native Shopify app and a WooCommerce integration, and Zapier, Make or n8n cover other platforms.
Can I send abandoned cart messages?
Yes. Send a WhatsApp nudge with the cart link after a delay you choose.
Can I send tracking updates?
Yes. Send the tracking link when an order is fulfilled, mapped from your order data.
Can I send invoices and product images?
Yes. Send images, PDFs and documents. Media size and monthly attachment limits depend on your plan.
How do I answer customer questions?
Replies land in your WhatsApp and can be shared with your team in the SyncMate shared inbox, with an AI assistant for routine questions.
Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?
No. SyncMate sends from your personal or WhatsApp Business number with no BSP approval or Meta verification. If you need the green verified badge and higher limits, connect the official Meta Business API instead.
Will my WhatsApp number get banned?
Message people who expect to hear from you, keep volumes sensible and space out bulk sends. Following those habits keeps your number in good standing.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the integration you connect, with plans from $3/month, and paying yearly gets you 12 months for the price of 10. See the full breakdown on our pricing page or talk to our team.
