Notify CRM is a free WooCommerce plugin for sending order status updates to customers via WhatsApp. It also adds custom order statuses, branded transactional emails, courier shipment tracking, and a floating WhatsApp chat button to your WooCommerce store.

Unlike WhatsApp Business API plugins that charge per message and require Meta Business verification, Notify CRM uses wa.me links — no API keys, no per-message fees, no complicated setup. Works with your regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app.

WhatsApp Order Notifications for WooCommerce

When a WooCommerce order status changes (e.g., Processing Shipped), Notify CRM queues a WhatsApp message with all the order details. You review pending messages in your WordPress admin dashboard, then send them with one click. Customers receive a formatted WhatsApp message with order ID, items, totals, and tracking information.

Custom WooCommerce Order Statuses

Go beyond WooCommerce’s built-in statuses. Create custom order statuses to match your real fulfillment workflow:

New Order — freshly placed orders awaiting confirmation
Pending Confirmation — orders waiting for payment or stock verification
Shipped — orders dispatched with courier and tracking info
Out for Delivery — orders with the delivery agent
Delivered — successfully completed orders
Returned / RTO — returned or refused shipments
Cancelled — cancelled orders

Each custom status gets its own color for easy identification in the WooCommerce orders list. Map WhatsApp message templates and branded email templates to each status change.

Branded WooCommerce Email Templates

Replace WooCommerce’s default plain emails with professional, branded HTML email templates. Customize the subject line, heading, and email body for every order status. Add your store logo, brand colors, and personalized messaging to every customer communication.

Courier Tracking & Shipment Management

Add your own courier services — local, national, or regional — with custom tracking URL templates. When you add a tracking number to WooCommerce order notes, Notify CRM auto-detects it and includes the tracking link in WhatsApp messages and branded emails.

This is especially useful for stores using local couriers or shipping providers that WooCommerce doesn’t natively support for tracking.

Floating WhatsApp Chat Button for WooCommerce

Add a customizable WhatsApp contact button to your WooCommerce storefront. Customers can reach you directly via WhatsApp from any page on your store. Customize the button position (bottom-left or bottom-right), color to match your brand, and greeting message.
