These 40 WhatsApp templates for e-commerce cover abandoned carts, COD confirmation, order and shipping updates, delivery, returns, reviews and win-back offers. Variables use Meta's {{1}} format. Order updates are typically utility templates; cart nudges and offers are marketing and need opt-in, which you can collect with a checkbox at checkout.

Tips that lift results
- Collect opt-in at checkout ("Get order updates and offers on WhatsApp").
- Always confirm COD orders before dispatch to reduce RTO.
- Use the WhatsApp catalogue so customers can browse and buy in chat. See WhatsApp catalogue for business.
- Cap marketing at about 2 messages a week per customer.
- Track with UTMs: tag every link. See UTM parameters guide.
