Two sets of rules meet in this category, and the ones that will surprise you are Meta's. Businesses have to obtain opt-in before messaging anybody on WhatsApp. Every message you send outside the window a customer's own reply opens has to use a template that Meta approved first, and approval is documented as taking up to a day. Pricing is per message, not per conversation, which is a change from how this channel used to be sold and from how some listings still describe it.

Shopify's side is quieter but useful: it models WhatsApp marketing consent as its own thing, separate from email and SMS consent, attached to the customer's phone number. And the thing most of these apps are actually built around, cart recovery, has a native anchor: an abandoned checkout carries a recovery URL that takes the shopper back to their cart. The app supplies the delivery, the timing and the copy.

Worth knowing before you compare features: nothing here is only marketing. Every listing at the top of this category is a bundle of broadcast campaigns, abandoned cart messages, order updates, a shared team inbox and a chat button, and several add cash-on-delivery confirmation, which tells you which markets this category grew up in.

What to look for in a What Flow app

How templates are handled for you: Since Meta must approve each one, the practical difference between vendors is how much of that they absorb: a library of approved templates you can use on day one, visibility into what is pending, and a clear message when one is rejected. This is the part that decides whether you send anything in your first week.
Where the opt-in comes from: Consent has to exist before the first message, and it has to be recorded somewhere you can point at. Ask whether the app writes it to the customer record in Shopify, which is the version that survives changing vendors, and how a customer withdraws it.
Cost per message, in your countries: This is a metered channel and the meter varies by country and by message category. Get the per-message rate for the markets you actually sell to and model a campaign, rather than comparing monthly subscription tiers.
Who answers: A broadcast produces replies, and on WhatsApp a reply looks like a message from a friend and expects a similar response time. The shared inbox that comes with these apps is the actual product for many stores, so judge it as a support tool: assignment, multiple agents, history against the order.
Confirming orders before you ship them: If a large share of your orders are cash on delivery, the confirmation flow matters more than the campaign builder, and it is the one feature here that pays for itself in avoided shipping rather than extra revenue.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use, and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring ones with the badge is a safe default. Learn more about the Built for Shopify badge →
