WhatsApp order confirmation templates

By DilKart Editorial. Updated 16 October 2026.

An order confirmation is the message buyers are waiting for, and the cheapest one you send: utility messages to Indian numbers cost ₹0.115 each from 1 October 2026. Each template below covers a different kind of order. Pick the ones that match how you sell, replace the variables with your tool's field names, and submit them as utility templates.

Standard orders

Template 1: prepaid order

Hi {{name}}, thank you for your order {{order_id}} at {{store}}!
Items: {{items}}

We'll message you here when it ships, usually within {{dispatch_days}} days.

Template 2: cash on delivery

Hi {{name}}, your order {{order_id}} at {{store}} is placed.
Items: {{items}}
Pay on delivery: {{total}}
We'll confirm dispatch here. Reply if anything needs changing.

Template 3: short version
