Chatbot and ZEST Text Notifications

Email is not commonly used by small businesses in the Philippines. Instead, businesses use instant chat apps such as Viber, WhatsApp, or SMS as their primary communication. It's important for merchants to be notified as soon as a new order comes in so that they can quickly process the order and get it delivered.

This article shows how you can enable SMS notifications for your ZEST websites.
Your mobile number will get an update whenever there are new orders placed on your site.

This works for orders with Shopbot and ZEST.
