WhatsApp + SMS for Shopify

The channel shoppers open, turned into more orders.

Shoppers read their WhatsApp messages. BulkMsg uses that to recover abandoned checkouts, confirm Cash on Delivery orders before you ship, and bring back demand for sold-out products. It runs automatically from your Shopify store, with SMS as the backup.

  • Free plan: 250 messages a month
  • No credit card for Free
  • Cancel any time through Shopify

Where your orders leak

Three places stores lose orders, and how BulkMsg closes them.

Each one is a ready-made automation. Turn it on once and it runs on every order after that.

Abandoned checkouts

Bring shoppers back to their cart

A WhatsApp reminder with a link straight back to their checkout, sent after a delay you choose. If they finish the order first, it isn’t sent.

Cash on DeliveryGrowth+

Confirm before you ship

COD buyers tap Confirm or Cancel in the chat. BulkMsg tags the order in Shopify, so you pack only the orders that were confirmed.

Sold-out productsStarter+

Turn “out of stock” into a waiting list

Shoppers sign up on the product page. The moment inventory is back, each of them gets a message with the product.

How it works

Live in three steps. No developer needed.

  1. Install from Shopify

    Approve the permissions and BulkMsg opens inside your Shopify admin. No code to add to your theme.

  2. Connect WhatsApp with Meta

    Meta’s signup runs in a pop-up. Choose or create your WhatsApp Business account and verify your number. The account stays yours.

  3. Turn on ready-made automations

    Each automation comes with a pre-written template. Review it, submit it to Meta for approval, and switch it on.

Everything included

12 automations, plus broadcasts and SMS.

Every automation comes with a starter template. Free runs up to 3 at once. A tag shows which features need a paid plan.

FAQ

Questions merchants ask first.

Do I need a WhatsApp Business account?

You need a Facebook login and a phone number you can verify by text or call. If you don’t have a WhatsApp Business account yet, Meta’s signup inside BulkMsg creates one. If the number is already active in the WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app, Meta may ask you to move it first. The signup flow explains how.

What does Meta charge for WhatsApp?

Meta sets its own WhatsApp rates by country and message type (marketing, utility or authentication) and bills you directly. BulkMsg adds no markup, and these charges don’t appear on your Shopify invoice. You can see current rates in Meta Business Suite.

What happens after the free 250 messages?

On Free, sending pauses until next month’s allowance, so there’s never a surprise bill. Paid plans include more messages and keep sending after the allowance at a per-message rate: $0.006 on Starter, $0.004 on Growth, $0.002 on Pro, $0.001 on Scale.

Is SMS included?

SMS fallback is included on Growth and above. SMS is charged per message on top of your plan and billed by BulkMsg as usage. You set a monthly cap. When it’s reached, SMS stops and WhatsApp keeps sending.

Can customers opt out?

Yes. When a customer replies STOP or UNSUBSCRIBE, that number stops getting marketing on WhatsApp and SMS. Replying START opts them back in. Broadcasts and marketing automations skip opted-out numbers. Order and shipping updates still go out.

Does it work outside the US?

WhatsApp works in the countries Meta’s WhatsApp Cloud API supports, which covers most markets. SMS is sent through Twilio. For US numbers, you complete A2P 10DLC registration inside the app. India’s DLT registration for SMS isn’t supported yet, so in India use WhatsApp, which doesn’t need DLT.

Do my messages need Meta’s approval?

Yes. Meta reviews each template before you can use it. BulkMsg gives every automation a pre-written starter template, and you can see each template’s approval status in the app. Templates can include an image header, buttons and details like the customer’s first name or order number.

Can I change plans or cancel?

Yes, any time, from Billing inside the app. Plans are billed through Shopify, and if you move to Free, Shopify credits the unused days.
