Every cash-on-delivery order that gets refused at the door costs you shipping, packing and time.
Yakeen asks the customer to confirm the order on WhatsApp first, so you only ship orders that people actually want.
How it works
- A customer places a cash-on-delivery order. Yakeen puts it on Awaiting confirmation and reserves the stock.
- The customer receives a WhatsApp message with two buttons: Confirm order and Cancel order.
- Confirm moves the order to Processing in one tap, and the customer gets your usual order email.
- Cancel asks "Are you sure?" first, then cancels the order and puts the stock back.
- No answer? The order is cancelled automatically after 24 hours (you choose the delay, or turn it off).
Features
- One-tap Confirm and Cancel buttons inside the WhatsApp message.
- Arabic and English messages, in your store's language or the one you choose.
- Creates the WhatsApp message templates for you with one click. No need to open WhatsApp Manager.
- Auto-cancel unconfirmed orders after a delay you choose, with stock restored.
- Stock is reserved while the order waits for confirmation, so confirmed orders are never oversold.
- Understands local phone formats, including Arabic-Indic digits (٠١٠…) and numbers without a country code.
- Order notes show when the message was sent, confirmed or cancelled, and why a message failed.
- Resend the confirmation message from the order screen.
- Works with the classic and the block (Cart & Checkout blocks) checkout, and with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
Yakeen Pro and Yakeen Business
Yakeen Pro and Yakeen Business are separate premium plans, sold on our website. They are not included in this plugin, and this free plugin works fully on its own.
Yakeen Pro adds:
- A WhatsApp reminder for customers who haven't answered yet.
- A WhatsApp shipping message telling the customer the order is on its way and how much to pay.
- Address editing for customers from the confirmation page, until the order ships.
- Messages in each customer's own language (WPML).
- Statistics showing the shipping money you saved, with 30 and 90-day history.
- Abandoned cart recovery: a WhatsApp message with a "Complete my order" button for shoppers who entered their phone at checkout but did not order, with an optional coupon, opt-in checkbox and one-tap unsubscribe.
Yakeen Business includes everything in Pro, plus:
- COD protection: hide cash on delivery for customers who refused deliveries before, never answered the confirmation, or are on your blacklist (phone, email or IP), with a trust badge for every order.
- Log in with WhatsApp: customers log in or sign up with their phone number and a code sent on WhatsApp, with no password.
