70% of carts are abandoned, and email only saves a fraction
Email recovery sequences land at a 12-15% open rate. The same recovery message on WhatsApp gets opened 8x more often. Most CRMs simply do not do WhatsApp.

What breaks in ecommerce
Four problems every ecommerce team hits at scale
Cart abandonment, scattered inboxes, missing order context, and zero post-purchase motion. CRM Solid is built around each one.
Instagram DMs sit in three separate inboxes
Product questions, order issues, and influencer-collab requests all flow into Instagram DMs. Your team flips between IG mobile, Shopify Inbox, and email, losing context every time.
Order context lives in Shopify, conversations live elsewhere
Your customer asks "where is my order?" on WhatsApp. Your agent has to open Shopify, find the order, copy the tracking, paste it back. Twenty seconds per conversation, hundreds of times a day.
Post-purchase upsell never happens
The 7 days after a purchase are the highest-converting window for an upsell, and it never gets used. Generic CRMs cannot trigger a sequence from a Shopify order webhook.
Six capabilities ecommerce teams actually use daily
Skip the bolt-on apps. Run cart recovery, DM commerce, and post-purchase upsell from one workspace.
Shopify / Woo / BigCommerce sync
Real-time webhooks for orders, customers, and abandoned carts. Five-minute setup. Every contact carries lifetime spend, order count, and last-purchase date.
WhatsApp cart recovery
Recover 37% of abandoned carts on WhatsApp with templated recovery sequences. 8x the open rate of email. Approved Meta templates included.
Instagram DM commerce
Capture product tags, answer DMs with AI, send Shop links in-thread. Every IG DM flows into the same inbox as email, WhatsApp, and live chat.
AI product-question bot
Train a bot on your product catalog. Answers sizing, shipping, materials, returns in your brand voice. Hand off to humans on complaints or custom orders.
Post-purchase upsell sequences
Three ready-to-edit sequences: thank-you, complementary product upsell, review request. Each fires from your order webhook in real time.
Order context in every chat
Every conversation shows the contact's order history, lifetime value, last shipment status, and open tickets. Stop tab-flipping into Shopify.
What we hear from ecommerce teams
The pattern is consistent across every brand we onboard. Email is plateauing. Cart recovery on email recovers 8-12% of abandoned carts, and the rate is dropping every year as inbox fatigue grows. Meanwhile WhatsApp Business and Instagram DMs are converting like nothing else: open rates above 80%, click-through 3-5x email, and cart recovery near 37% when the message arrives within 60 minutes of abandonment.
The blocker is not channel access. It is unification. Most brands end up with three inboxes, two cart-recovery tools, a separate WhatsApp Business app, an unmonitored Instagram inbox, and a Shopify Inbox app that nobody logs into. CRM Solid collapses all of that into one workspace, with the order context attached to every conversation.
Channels that matter for ecommerce
- WhatsApp Business: the highest-ROI recovery and re-engagement channel. Approved templates for cart recovery, order updates, shipping, and promotions. Native to CRM Solid via the official WhatsApp Business API.
- Instagram DM: discovery channel. Product-tag DMs, story replies, and influencer collabs all land here. CRM Solid auto-attaches product IDs and opens the conversation with full Shopify context.
- Live chat on the storefront: pre-purchase questions, size guides, “is it back in stock?” AI answers the easy ones; humans take the deals. Embed on Shopify, Woo, BigCommerce, or any custom storefront.
- Email: receipts, shipping, win-back, and broadcast campaigns. Still the cheapest per-message channel. Relayed via SMTP, SES, SendGrid, or Mailgun.
- SMS (optional): for high-urgency moments (order shipped, delivery today, flash sale). Twilio relay supported.
- Telegram: VIP and wholesale customer channels. Common in EU, EE, CIS, and crypto-native commerce. Native MTProto support.
Compliance & data residency
Ecommerce sells globally and ships physically, which means you handle three sets of regulations at once: GDPR for EU customers, KVKK for Turkish customers, and CCPA for California buyers. On the product side you may also be subject to KKDIK (Turkish chemicals regulation) if you sell cosmetics or chemicals into Turkey.
- GDPR & KVKK consent: capture marketing consent per channel at checkout. Recovery sequences only fire for opted-in contacts. Built-in right-to-erasure within 30 days.
- WhatsApp template compliance: only Meta-approved templates can send out-of-window. CRM Solid ships an approved-template library and warns you before you queue a non-compliant message.
- EU data residency: Frankfurt-pinned database on annual plans. No cross-border transfer surprises.
- Card data: CRM Solid does not store full card numbers. Shopify, Stripe, and WeePay handle that. Order and customer data flow in via webhook with PII isolated.
Sample sequences & templates
The ecommerce workspace ships with four sequences ready to send. Edit the copy, swap the channels, send.
- Cart Recovery (3 messages over 24h): WhatsApp at 1 hour, email at 6 hours, WhatsApp final at 23 hours with a 10% off code. Stop-on-purchase.
- Post-Purchase Upsell (3 messages over 21 days): thank-you email on day 1, complementary-product WhatsApp on day 7, review request email on day 21. Day-7 SKU recommendation is auto-selected from your catalog.
- Win-Back (4 messages over 30 days): fires when a customer has not purchased in their normal cadence. WhatsApp gentle nudge, email with new arrivals, WhatsApp 15% off, email final.
- Flash-Sale Broadcast: multi-channel announcement with segment targeting (VIP only, repeat buyers, opted-in subscribers). Stop-on-reply across all channels so a customer who replies on WhatsApp does not get the email next.
Reporting & KPIs
The ecommerce dashboard surfaces the metrics your finance, ops, and marketing teams all argue about at the same time:
- Cart recovery rate: by channel, with revenue attribution.
- AOV by channel: does WhatsApp drive higher AOV than email? Now you know.
- CLTV by acquisition channel: measure the long tail, not just first purchase.
- AI deflection rate: what percentage of DMs the AI resolves without human handoff.
- Time-to-first-reply: set SLA alerts; anything over 10 minutes during business hours pings your operations channel.

“WhatsApp cart recovery alone paid for the year. We were recovering 9% of carts on email; we hit 38% on WhatsApp in the first month. The Shopify sync took a Slack message to our dev, not a project plan.”

Ecommerce pack FAQ
Common questions from brands evaluating CRM Solid.
CRM Solid ingests Shopify orders, customers, and abandoned-cart events via webhook in real time. Setup takes about 5 minutes: paste the webhook URL into your Shopify admin, pick the events you want, and orders start flowing in. We also support Woo, BigCommerce, and any storefront that can send a webhook on order creation.
For ecommerce, WhatsApp is one of the highest-ROI channels in the stack. Open rates run 80-95% (vs 12-20% for email), click-through is 3-5x email, and cart-recovery messages on WhatsApp recover roughly 37% of abandoned carts vs 8-12% on email. The setup overhead, verify your business, pick approved templates, integrate via the WhatsApp Business API, pays back in a single recovered cart for most brands.
Yes. Train a custom AI sales bot on your product catalog (CSV upload, Shopify sync, or web crawl), pick a persona that matches your brand voice, define when to hand off to a human (e.g. refund requests, custom orders, complaints), and the AI replies in your inbox 24/7. Most ecommerce teams see the AI resolve 60-70% of inbound DMs without human escalation.
CRM Solid captures explicit marketing consent at checkout (per channel: email, SMS, WhatsApp). Cart-recovery sequences only fire for contacts who consented to the relevant channel. Right-to-erasure tooling deletes the contact and message history within 30 days. We sign a DPA with every customer; see /dpa for the full text.
Yes. The Ecommerce workspace ships with three post-purchase sequences: a thank-you nudge on day 1, a complementary-product upsell on day 7, and a review-request on day 21. Each is editable. The upsell sequence reads the SKU of the order and recommends a related product from your catalog automatically.
Yes. When a customer DMs about a product on Instagram, CRM Solid auto-attaches the product ID, image, and price to the contact. Your team or AI can quote-reply with the Shop link in one click. Combined with the Shopify sync, you see the contact, the product, and the inventory status in one view.
