Description
WhatsApp Pilot connects the WhatsApp number a Shopify store already uses (linked by QR code, no Business API account) and automates the messages customers expect: order confirmation, cancellation notice, abandoned-checkout reminders with a discount or free shipping, and back-in-stock alerts. A product-page button lets shoppers order via WhatsApp or ask to be notified, and a demand dashboard shows which variants people are waiting for. Free plan; Pro is a flat $15, no per-message fees.

Could you build this?
Partial The Shopify integration is standard, but automating personal WhatsApp accounts via QR link requires reverse-engineered WhatsApp Web protocols that frequently break and risk phone bans.
What it would actually take: Requires a Shopify App webhook listener integrated with headless WhatsApp Web automation libraries (e.g., Baileys or Puppeteer/wppconnect). The core challenge is maintaining persistent WebSocket sessions with WhatsApp's proprietary multidevice protocol, bypassing anti-bot bans, and managing connection state without official Business API access.
