Every message from checkout to a Nottingham doorstep
Tick through what an Indian D2C brand sets up before the first order from Nottingham ships. Required items are the ones a regulator, Meta or the customer will notice if they are missing.
The opt-in box comes first because everything after it depends on it: without a recorded opt-in the order updates are not allowed, and without consent or the soft opt-in the offers are not either.
Your store can send each order template through InfiQ's developer API as statuses change; Shopify, WooCommerce and others connect over the API and webhooks today, as the integrations page explains.

What a Nottingham store runs on
The parts of InfiQ an Indian brand uses from its first UK order.
- Integrations over the API
Shopify, WooCommerce, Razorpay, Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Google Sheets and others connect through InfiQ's API and webhooks today; native one-click connectors are still in development.
Shopify or WooCommerce order events reach InfiQ over the API and webhooks, so each Nottingham status change sends its template.
- Template manager and library
Draft, submit and track WhatsApp message templates for Meta's approval, starting from a library of 1,000+ ready templates in 27 categories.
Start the en_GB order, dispatch and delivery templates from the library and track each through Meta's approval before launch.
- Consent records and opt-out enforcement
Each contact's opt-in source and time are recorded, STOP replies are enforced at platform level (even against later imports), and the audit trail exports.
The checkout tick is stored with its source and time, and STOP is enforced even when a later list import includes that shopper.
- Shared team inbox
One WhatsApp number answered by a team: 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth, agent and manager roles, transfers, private notes, labels and canned replies.
Return and where-is-my-parcel questions from Nottingham reach any of 10 agents on Lite, with canned replies for the common ones.

Questions Nottingham businesses ask
We ship Ayurvedic skincare from India to customers in Nottingham. Which of our order messages are utility templates?+
The order confirmation, the dispatch-from-India notice with its tracking link, the out-for-delivery message and a missed-delivery notice are all utility, ₹1.93 each to a +44 number. A message about a new range or a sale is marketing at ₹5.58.
A Nottingham shopper bought our kurta last month. Can we send her our winter collection under PECR's soft opt-in?+
Possibly: the soft opt-in covers your own similar products if she was offered a simple way to refuse when she bought, and in every message since. Meta also requires her opt-in to WhatsApp messages from you. The United Kingdom guide sets out the conditions.
Couriers update our parcels overnight through East Midlands Airport. When should the Nottingham delivery message go out?+
Hold overnight courier events and send the customer message in the Nottingham morning: 09:00 there is 14:30 IST in winter and 13:30 IST in summer. Schedule in Europe/London time and the change on the last Sunday of October or March is handled for you.
Our agents in Jaipur answer Nottingham customers until late evening UK time. How long can they reply without a template?+
For 24 hours from the customer's last message. A question sent at 20:00 in Nottingham can be answered until 20:00 the next day with free-form service replies at ₹1.93 each; after that, the first message back must be an approved template.
Nottingham has more than 11,000 residents of Indian ethnicity. Can our Diwali order updates to them be in Gujarati?+
Yes, for customers who chose Gujarati. Meta accepts Gujarati (gu), Punjabi (pa) and Hindi (hi) templates, each approved separately from the en_GB version. Keep the language choice on the customer record so the right version goes to each person.
We are opening a returns hub near Nottingham. Can staff there answer the same WhatsApp number as our agents in India?+
Yes. The shared inbox gives 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth, with roles, transfers, labels and private notes, so returns staff in Nottingham and agents in India work one number. If the business holding the account is based in Nottingham, talk to sales about whether InfiQ fits.
