Send WooCommerce order notifications and abandoned-cart reminders using your own Meta WhatsApp Cloud API credentials.

== Description ==
CoreX Commerce Messaging connects WooCommerce with the Meta WhatsApp Cloud API. The free edition includes order notifications, abandoned-cart reminders, approved template synchronization, international dialing defaults, delivery logs, and configuration help.

The free edition does not include an Inbox, OTP registration/login, or premium automation modules. Those are distributed separately and are not required for the free features to function.

= External services =
This plugin communicates directly with Meta's WhatsApp Cloud API using credentials you configure. When enabled, it sends customer telephone numbers, approved message template names, template parameters, and order/cart-related information required to deliver messages. Requests are made when you test the connection, sync templates, send test messages, dispatch order notifications, or run abandoned-cart reminders. Meta may send webhook events to your site's configured endpoint. You must comply with applicable consent and privacy requirements before sending messages.
