How many orders go quiet simply because the customer never got an update?
WhatsApp is where most shoppers actually read their messages, and Whats DL connects that channel straight to your Salla store. Once the Whats DL WhatsApp app is installed, your store can send order updates and automated notifications, reply to common questions on its own, push marketing campaigns, and nudge shoppers who left something behind in their cart. In this guide, you'll learn how to install Whats DL, activate it with your WhatsApp number, customize the messages it sends, and remove the app if you no longer need it.
To set up Whats DL, install it from the Salla App Store, choose a plan, and complete the payment. Then open (App options) and click (Activate app), link your WhatsApp number, sign in to the Whats DL platform, add your WhatsApp account, and return to the app settings to enable and save your messages.

Where do my Whats DL login details come from?
After you click (Go) to link your number, Whats DL sends your username and password in a WhatsApp message.
Do I set up the messages in Salla or on the Whats DL platform?
Both. You create and connect the WhatsApp account on the Whats DL platform, then enable and customize the individual messages in the app settings inside your Salla dashboard.
