How it sells itself

WhatsApp order notifications for store admins, staff, and operations teams. Instant WhatsApp alerts when orders are created, paid, cancelled, or fulfilled. Built for internal team notifications, not customer messaging. Filter order alerts by value, country, product tags, or COD payment method. Route different order notifications to different team members.

VendorHub automates how you communicate with vendors when orders come in. Vendors receive instant email or WhatsApp notifications with order details and can accept or reject with one click. The app tracks responses, sends smart reminders, auto-fulfills accepted items, and gives you a clear dashboard by vendor with revenue and order status.

Key points
  • Get WhatsApp alerts for new orders, payments, fulfillments, and cancellations.
  • Filter by order value, shipping country, product tags, or payment method.
  • Add team members and route different order alerts to different recipients.
  • Each message includes a direct link to open the order in your admin.
  • Auto-notify vendors when their items are ordered
  • One-click vendor responses via built-in options (Accept/Reject/Other)
  • Log vendor replies in Order Notes and notify you on rejects
  • Send up to 3 follow-up reminders automatically

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
