The step-by-step process to connect your Shopify store with AiSensy is already covered in this doc👇

How to connect your Shopify store with AiSensy

Refer the above doc & connect your Shopify store with AiSensy. Once you've done this, all you need to do is setup messages for your Shopify store.

In this doc, we'll guide you on how to setup messages for your Shopify store.

You can setup 3 automation flows for your Shopify store with AiSensy, including:

Before we begin, kindly note this while submitting a new Abandoned cart message: Either use the CTA/ Quick reply button in your template message. Do not select the "all" button option under Interactive actions.

You can set upto three abandoned cart messages in an Abandoned cart flow.

Setting up 3 Abandoned cart messages has helped many of our clients recover 25-40% of their Abandoned Carts.

Note here that the first message triggers 20 minutes after the user adds the item to their cart but doesn't check out; the second message triggers 3 hours later; and the final message is sent 1 day after the user adds the item to their cart.

The timings of the Abandoned Cart messages can be configured as per your requirements. 

To setup your Abandoned Cart messages, you can access our message library in the "Setup Messages" section (as shown in the image below)

Alternatively, you can also create and approve a new Abandoned Cart Template message by going to Manage👉 Template Message 👉+ New

To know the exact steps for creating a WhatsApp Template message, check out this doc.

Here's a sample messaging Flow of 3 Abandoned Cart messages that you can setup for higher recovery of Abandoned Carts.

​Hey {{1}}👋

We noticed you've got the Headway Bassheads 225 in your cart.🎧

Make the Bassheads 225 yours now at just Rs {{2}}

Secure it now by tapping the link below👇

CTA: https://yourshopifystore.com/{{3}}

Note: Either use the CTA/ Quick reply button in your template message. Do not select the "all" button option under Interactive actions.

Note: The default Abandoned Cart Checkout URL for all Shopify checkouts excluding GoSwift and Zecpe is: "https://yourshopifystore.com/${{PartialAbandonedCheckoutUrl}}". 

This URL will be used when submitting the Template message. 

Exception Case: For GoSwift and Zecpe checkout, you need to set the Abandoned Cart Checkout URL to "https://wa.aisensy.com/${{FullAbandonedCheckoutUrl}}" when submitting the template

Can't get the Headway Bassheads 225 out of your head?🤔

Here's a 10% off code just for you: GROOVE10.

Use code: FREESHIP at checkout.

Make the Bassheads 225 yours now at just Rs {{2}}

CTA: https://yourshopifystore.com/${{3}}

The parameters {{1}}, {{2}}, & {{3}} are respectively $FirstName, $OrderAmount, & $PartialAbandonedCheckoutUrl

Kindly note: For GoSwift and Zecpe checkout, you need to set the Abandoned Cart Checkout URL to "https://wa.aisensy.com/${{FullAbandonedCheckoutUrl}}" instead of the default "https://${{shop-domain}}/${{PartialAbandonedCheckoutUrl}}" when submitting the template.

Also, if you've set 3 Abandoned Cart messages, but the customer purchases the product after the 1st Abandoned Cart message, the other two messages will not trigger. In this case, the Order Confirmation message will trigger, given that you have set the flow.

You can choose to create or add any other content in the message. Here's the list of Shopify Attributes you can use in the message such as #OrderId, #ZipCode and many more.

https://help.aisensy.com/en/articles/8181561-tags-attributes-in-aisensy

Note: To enable the 2nd and 3rd Abandoned Cart messages, you must enable the 1st Abandoned cart template.

Before setting these up, make sure your Shopify order status has these order status options in it. If it doesn't yet exist, you can create them in your Shopify store.

Order Confirmed, Order Fulfilled, Order Cancelled

Once you've setup the Abandoned Cart Templates, go to Abandoned Cart Flow in Ecomm+ and click the pencil icon against the Abandoned Cart 1 message flow.

Upon clicking the pencil icon, you'll see an already-set abandoned cart template. You can enable the same message or submit a new template and approve it.

Last, enable the Abandoned Cart messaging flow.

If you wish to create Abandoned Cart Message 2 and Abandoned Cart Message 3, just go to the Abandoned Cart flow👉Pick the Abandoned Cart message you wish to automate👉 Enable the flows.

After enabling all the flows, you'll see this screen👇

For COD flow, Shopify offers you 4 trigger events including:

COD Order confirmation message is sent to users who have opted-in for Cash-on-delivery payment option. The message is sent to confirm the order from the user's end as many users who opt for COD delivery, refuse to accept the item at the time of delivery and the business has to suffer the return delivery charges as well!!

Follow the below-mentioned steps to enable the COD Order Confirmation flow:

Note: It's mandatory to provide 2 Quick Reply buttons in the COD Order Confirmation message. If you don't know what are quick reply buttons, check out this doc.

The buttons should allow the users to either "Confirm" or "Cancel" the order.

Here's a sample COD Order Confirmation message:

Here is a sample message you can use:

"🛍️ *COD Order Confirmation 🛍️

Hello {{1}}! Your order with [Your Store Name] is almost ready to ship. Here are your order details:

Order ID: {{2}}
Items: {{3}}
Total Amount: {{4}}
Payment: Cash On Delivery (COD)

​

Quick Reply Button

Confirm Order

Cancel Order"

Note: The parameters {{1}}, {{2}}, {{3}} & {{4}} are $FirstName and $OrderId, $LineItems, $OrderAmount respectively.

Important: The 1st Quick Reply button must be "Confirm order" and the second quick reply must be "Cancel order" to trigger the message.

When the user clicks on Confirm Order/ Cancel Order quick reply button, they will be sent a message confirming/ cancelling their order. This will happen only once you setup and enable both these messages.

Once the user clicks the Confirm/ Cancel order button, a tag is assigned on Shopify depending on whether they confirmed/ cancelled the order.

That's it! Your Order COD Confirmation flow is Live.

Note: If you have set COD Order Confirm Status or COD Order Cancel Status the respective message will be sent to the user when “Confirm my Order” or “Cancel my order” is sent to the user.

A COD Order Follow-up message is sent to the user in case they haven't responded to the COD Order Confirmation message. This message is triggered 3 hours after the user purchases the product.

Follow the below-mentioned steps to enable the COD Order Confirmation flow:

Note: It's mandatory to provide 2 Quick Reply buttons in the COD Order Follow-up message. If you don't know what are quick reply buttons, check out this doc.

The buttons should allow the users to either "Confirm" or "Cancel" the order.
