Deep dive

The complete guide to WhatsApp + Shiprocket

Shipping updates that customers actually open

Indian e-commerce loses 25-40% of customer-support volume to “where is my order?” tickets. Email shipment updates from Shiprocket are opened by 18-22% of buyers; WhatsApp shipment updates are opened by 95%+ within minutes. LandinChat plugs into Shiprocket's webhooks (`shipment_picked_up`, `out_for_delivery`, `delivered`, `ndr_raised`) and fires Meta-approved Utility templates with the AWB number, courier name and live tracking link.

NDR (non-delivery report) recovery on WhatsApp

When a courier marks a shipment NDR — wrong address, customer unavailable, refused delivery — Shiprocket has a 24-hour window before the order auto-returns. A WhatsApp NDR template (“Your order #{{id}} couldn't be delivered. Reattempt tomorrow? Yes / Change address / Cancel”) recovers 30-50% of NDRs that would otherwise turn into RTO. The customer's reply posts back to Shiprocket as an NDR action via the API, with no human intervention.

From dispatch to delivery — the full WhatsApp shipping lifecycle

Order placed → confirmation + ETA. Picked up → courier name + AWB + live tracking link. Out for delivery → 4-hour ETA window + delivery OTP. NDR → reattempt / address-edit / cancel flow. Delivered → review request + cross-sell. Each step is a pre-built WhatsApp template, all triggered by Shiprocket webhooks, all logged back to your Shopify or WooCommerce order.
