Overview

Everything you need to know about installing and using Pakora.

Pakora is a powerful WhatsApp CRM integration plugin designed specifically for Shopify stores. It enables seamless two-way messaging between you and your customers through the official WhatsApp Cloud API. Send automated order notifications, respond to inquiries, and manage all conversations directly from your Shopify dashboard β€” no need to switch between apps.

Your customers receive instant updates about their orders, can ask questions, and get support β€” all within WhatsApp. Meanwhile, you handle everything from one central inbox inside your store admin panel, making communication faster and more organized.

πŸ“±
Phone Number Requirement: You'll need a dedicated mobile number that isn't currently registered with WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business. This number will be used exclusively for the WhatsApp Cloud API. It can still receive calls and SMS, but won't work with the standard WhatsApp mobile app.

Pakora supports official WhatsApp message templates, allowing you to send professional, personalized notifications for order confirmations, shipping updates, delivery alerts, and more.
