Product and catalogue messages.
WhatsApp supports commerce message formats where the business's Meta assets and catalogue are configured. Use structured choices for category and variant selection, and send unknown fit, compatibility, or policy questions to a person.
Checkout and payment handoff.
A workflow can present a verified checkout or Razorpay payment link and wait for an authoritative success or failure event. Do not mark an order paid because the customer clicked a link or said payment was complete.
Order and delivery communication.
Use approved templates for expected transaction updates outside the service window. Deduplicate each event, keep the order reference attached, and route unexpected replies to a team member who can see the current state.
Recovery and re-engagement are different purposes.
An active cart, an existing order, and a future promotion have different customer expectations. Store purpose-specific consent, cap frequency across journeys, and stop on purchase, cancellation, opt-out, or unsafe quality.
Returns and service recovery.
Collect the order, item, issue, evidence type, and requested outcome. The deterministic flow can organise the intake, while a person owns exceptions, policy judgement, refunds, and customer recovery.
