Developed by [Imran Ahmed](https://imran.mvp.bd) ([omnitx](https://github.com/omnitx)). ### Key Features * **100% Self-Hosted & Private**: Uses your own self-hosted GOWA REST API gateway without recurring third-party subscriptions or Meta per-template charges. * **Instant Direct Dispatch**: Ultra-fast synchronous HTTP dispatch with multi- hook fallback ensuring orders trigger notifications reliably without relying on WP-Cron or Action Scheduler queues. * **WooCommerce Order Notifications**: - Send receipt/processing notification to client upon order placement. - Send completion notification to client when order is completed. - Send cancellation notification to client when order is cancelled. - Send new order alerts and low stock alerts to store admin. * **Direct Client Messaging & Metabox**: - Send custom messages directly to clients from the WooCommerce Order details page. - Quick templates for Order Updates, Shipping/Courier details, and Payment Reminders. * **WordPress Core Alerts**: Instant notifications for new user registrations and comments. * **Customizable Message Templates**: Full template control with dynamic placeholders(`{ customer_name}`, `{order_id}`, `{order_total}`, `{order_items}`, `{customer_note}`,`{ shipping_address}`, `{payment_method}`, `{site_name}`). * **Universal Phone Number Normalizer**: Automatic country code prefixing (e.g.` 880`, `1`, `91`, `44`, `62`). * **Native WooCommerce Logger**: Full debug and transaction logs stored under WooCommerce > Status > Logs (`gowa_whatsapp_api`). * **Export & Import Settings**: Easily backup, export, and restore all plugin configurations and notification templates via JSON. * **Live AJAX Testing & Diagnostics**: Instant connection checker and test message dispatcher in the admin dashboard. ### Third-Party Service Disclosure This plugin connects to a self-hosted instance of GOWA (Go WhatsApp Web Multi-Device REST API gateway) hosted by the site administrator to dispatch messages. * GOWA Open Source Server: https://github.com/aldinokemal/go-whatsapp-web-multidevice * Service Endpoint: Configured by the site administrator in Settings > Notify with GOWA. ### Author * **Author**: Imran Ahmed * **Website**: [imran.mvp.bd](https://imran.mvp.bd) * **GitHub**: [github.com/omnitx](https://github.com/omnitx) * **Email**: imranomnitx@duck.com ## Installation 1.
