What's going wrong
Shopify merchants using several WhatsApp order-notification apps report the same failure: the link between their store and the linked WhatsApp device drops, sometimes silently, and order confirmations and shipping updates stop reaching customers. Owners must scan, pair, or log in again by hand before sending resumes. Messages missed during the outage often cannot be resent, and some logs show delivery even though customers received nothing. Reports come from small and mid-sized stores that depend on WhatsApp for delivery messages, and reviewers say vendor support was slow or unhelpful. The opening is a connection watchdog that detects dropped sessions, reconnects them automatically, alerts the merchant, and resends anything that failed.
