How to activate and use "Engage" 🤔

What is Engage? 

Engage by Zyda is your smart assistant for customer loyalty — it automatically sends friendly, personalized WhatsApp messages to keep your customers engaged, happy, and coming back for more. Just set it once, and watch your repeat orders grow! 🚀

 🎯 It aims to encourage new customers to order constantly (customers who order 3 times are more likely to become regular customers) 

Engage also collects automated feedback on the order from your new customers 🌟 

 


Screenshot 2025-06-19 at 2.33.07 AM How does it work?

- For first-time customers, Engage sends a welcome message of your choice after their first order.

- If those customers haven't ordered in a while, it sends another message to encourage them to re-order from your website.

- After a new customer submits their first order, your first message/incentive is sent to the customer 2 hours after accepting their order.

- If those customers did not place orders within 20 days, a second message/incentive will be sent to encourage them to re-order. 

- If a customer gets 2 messages and doesn't re-order, the messages will stop, so they would not be considered as Spam

Notes

  • Engage is available only for Kuwait stores that are integrated with Online Payment Gateways.


  • Engage is available for all Zyda plans and can be activated or disabled anytime.


  • Engage only works on new customers who haven't ordered before from your website.


  • Engage fees are 0.250 fils. They are deducted from the order value. Fees are not added on top of the order value.

  • Engage fees apply for new customers for their first 3 orders. No fees are deducted from 4th, 5th orders... etc

  • In case you need to change the default timing settings for sending the 3 messages. Please reach out to the Support Team with your request.

  • Engage messages language that will be sent to the customers will be defined automatically based on the language that the customer chose when they submitted the order on your website.
