The goal is to increase your CLTV ("Customer Lifetime Value!") via WhatsApp marketing by 25-75%. Let's go into more detail on how this works:

Magento WhatsApp integration: This is possible with Chatarmin

The Magento API has some endpoints ("API Endpoints" or "API Webhooks") that we can use to integrate the functions described above into Chatarmin's WA marketing software.

Abandoned shopping carts: Magento's "Checkout" endpoint gives us many different ways to respond to abandoned user journeys - such as shopping cart abandonment. The standard in this case is a WhatsApp campaign as soon as the customer has canceled their order process in the checkout, but has already provided their phone number.

Postpurchase automations: Magento's API endpoint "Order paid" allows us to automatically send users a WhatsApp message if they have provided their phone number during checkout. This feature is great for product usage recommendations, surveys, shipping information or cross- or up-sales.

_**TIP: If you are not yet collecting your customers' phone numbers in the checkout, you should change this immediately! You are missing out on valuable (WhatsApp) leads.

Segmentation options: Analyze the customer's purchasing behavior automatically by combining CLTV ("Customer Lifetime Value"), product purchases and purchase frequency into segments. You can then incorporate these into WhatsApp automations as so-called "conditional logic" ("if/else splits" or "conditional functioning"). This guarantees that each customer only receives the WhatsApp message that suits them, their purchasing behavior and their preferences.

Magento WhatsApp marketing: interaction with customer support software

Chatarmin is the leading WhatsApp marketing tool for D2C brands with a Magento tech stack. But what happens when customers write back or your Magento WhatsApp marketing activities result in customer support? Well, in this case, there are three possibilities, and we'll go into each of them in more detail:

No WhatsApp support: 9-figure brands like waterdropÂź scale their WhatsApp marketing across multiple markets and to relevant sales via CLTV uplift of 25%-75%. And yet they don't offer WhatsApp support! How does it work? Via auto-responders, i.e. automated responses. Either via ChatGPT WhatsApp Integration and/or WhatsApp Automations. We attach a screenshot of such a solution here:

The waterdropÂź WhatsApp enterprise account has been successfully verified and scaled in collaboration with Chatarmin.

Customer support in Chatarmin: Thanks to Chatarmin's support and ticketing system, even a multi-member support team can handle full customer support in Chatarmin. This has proven its worth for brands such as bedrop (8-figure) from Mannheim. This is because they do not yet use a multi-channel solution such as zendesk, Freshdesk or Gorgias. Nevertheless, a comprehensive WhatsApp customer support suite is required. Chatarmin offers this.

Our ChatGPT WhatsApp integrationmentioned above is also offered here at Chatarmin. Here you can find a video about how it works:

Customer support in customer support tool:

Most large D2C online stores - including all Chatarmin Magento customers - use this solution.

Customer support takes place in zendesk, Gorgias, or Freshdesk.

The advantage of this?

Your customer support team can work in their familiar environment and thus offer WhatsApp support without any operational problems. Why should you use Chatarmin's custom app for this? Thanks to Chatarmin's integrations, it is possible to use just one phone number and one WABA for customer support. And this without having to do without Chatarmin's personalization options.

For example, your support team can view the customer's historical purchasing behaviour and respond to your customers' concerns in a hyper-personalized way. You can also use pre-qualification flows to perform lead enrichment so that the customer provides you with as much information about their request as possible. This way, most tickets are dealt with in one WhatsApp message.

The last and best point:

You can mega easily convert support leads into marketing leads. The customer only ever communicates with a brand presence on WhatsApp, but marketing can convert and use the leads mega well through flows and newsletters.
