MessageBird

On behalf of Mollie and Messagebird, we have developed a plugin that can send various Magento messages by SMS or Whatsapp through the MessageBird platform.

With the MessageBird plugin, it makes it possible to send Magento notification messages that normally are sent by e-mail, through MessageBird and deliver this by a mobile text message instantly to the customer. This has many advantages compared to e-mail, SMS is more personal, faster, and is delivered directly to the customer as a push notification. The text messages that are sent can be used to increase conversion or to improve the brand experience. How nice is it when you receive a message that the order has been received or that the order has actually been sent in combination with the expected delivery date? This gives the right expectation and can save questions on your own customer service.

When you also use Mollie Payments, it is possible to send a payment reminder to the customer in case the payment has not yet been completed, this will certainly increase the conversion.

This plugin is free to use but requires an active Messagebird account.

Brand experience related posts

Management of expectations and letting you know that everything has been received well can make a huge positive contribution to the experience of your brand.
Consider, for example, sending the following notifications to keep the brand experience good and to demonstrate accessibility ;

Order confirmation notification
We have successfully received your order with ID #20329 and are waiting for your payment, as soon as it is received, we will notify you. Have a nice day!

Invoice confirmation notification
We have successfully received your payment of €125,- for order #20329. The order has been forwarded to our warehouse. Thank you!

Send notification
Great news! Your order will be shipped to Gonnetstraat 26 in Haarlem and will arrive tomorrow. Enjoy!

Credit Memo Notification
The refund of €125 for order #20329 has just been processed. Hopefully we'll see you again soon!

Conversion increasing messages

Because the push messages have a higher visibility and certain delivery, it is perfectly suitable for sending conversion-increasing messages.
Consider the messages below, for example

Product back in stock notification
Yes! Finally the Watter Superspray is back in stock, go directly to our webshop to buy the product before it is sold out again!

Product price change notification
Look quickly, the Watter Superspray has dropped in price! Quickly visit our online store to buy this product before it goes back to normal price.

*Extra! Mollie Payment reminder;
It seems that you have not completed the payment in full, make your order final and complete the payment via this link; http://www.mollie.com/checkout#3443

Mollie Payments Integration

In collaboration with Mollie Payments, we have made it possible to notify customers by e-mail of unfinished payments.
With the MessageBird integration, we can share this payment link directly with them via SMS so that the customers can instantly revive their order.
