DLT SMS Templates for WooCommerce: Ready to Copy Order Notification Examples

Every business SMS in India needs a DLT-approved template, and most rejections happen because the wording breaks a small rule nobody explained. This page fixes that. Below are ready-to-copy DLT SMS templates for every WooCommerce event, written in the new tagged-variable format, plus the rules that keep them from bouncing.

New to DLT itself? Start with the DLT guide for WordPress store owners, then come back for the templates.

How a DLT template works

Anatomy of a DLT SMS template with variables and the 30 character rule — Fixed text is approved once and must match exactly. Only the variables change.

Under the new rules, every variable declares its data type with a tag: {#numeric#} for digits, {#alphanumeric#} for names and IDs, {#url#} for links. Full reference in the DLT variable tagging guide.

Ready-to-copy templates for WooCommerce

Replace BRAND with your store name before submitting. Register these as Service Implicit unless noted, and the coloured chip on each variable tells you its type.

Order placed · Service Implicit

Dear {#alphanumeric#}, your order {#alphanumeric#} of Rs {#numeric#} has been placed successfully. We will update you when it ships. – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {order_id} · {amount}

Payment received · Service Implicit

Dear {#alphanumeric#}, we have received your payment of Rs {#numeric#} for order {#alphanumeric#}. Thank you for shopping with us. – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {amount} · {order_id}

Order shipped / completed · Service Implicit

Good news {#alphanumeric#}! Your order {#alphanumeric#} is on its way. Track it here: {#url#} – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {order_id} · tracking link. The {#url#} tag holds up to 120 characters, so links no longer need splitting.

COD order confirmation · Service Implicit

Dear {#alphanumeric#}, your COD order {#alphanumeric#} of Rs {#numeric#} is confirmed. Please keep the amount ready at delivery. – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {order_id} · {amount}. With COD verification on, add a {#url#} for the confirmation link mapped to {cod_link}.

Abandoned cart reminder · Promotional

Hi {#alphanumeric#}, your cart at BRAND is waiting. Complete your order of Rs {#numeric#} here: {#url#} – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {amount} · cart link. Cart reminders are promotional, so register under Promotional with an industry category.

OTP (login, signup, COD verify) · Transactional

{#numeric#} is your OTP for BRAND. Valid for 10 minutes. Do not share it with anyone. – BRAND

OTP templates plug into Smart OTP for WhatsApp delivery with SMS fallback.

Welcome message · Transactional / SI

Welcome to BRAND, {#alphanumeric#}! Your account is ready. Browse our latest collection at {#url#} – BRAND

Review request · Service Implicit

Hi {#alphanumeric#}, hope you loved your recent order {#alphanumeric#}. Share a quick review here: {#url#} – BRAND

Admin alert (to your own phone) · Service Implicit

New order alert: {#alphanumeric#} placed order {#alphanumeric#} of Rs {#numeric#} via {#alphanumeric#}. – BRAND

Plugin mapping: {name} · {order_id} · {amount} · {payment_method}

Five rules that prevent rejections

Tag every variable by type. Digits use {#numeric#}, IDs and names use {#alphanumeric#}, links use {#url#}. The variable length limits are 40 characters for numeric, alphanumeric and email, 120 for url and urlott, and 3 to 14 for cbn.
End with your brand name. Operators expect a clear identifier like “- BRAND” in the template.
Do not stack variables with no text between them. Only {#alphanumeric#} may sit back-to-back; every other tag needs static text between variables.
Register your links and numbers as CTAs first. {#url#}, {#urlott#} and {#cbn#} values are validated against the CTAs registered for the template.
Submit the final wording. Even one changed space between the approved template and the sent message blocks delivery.

Add approved templates to Fast2SMS

Once DLT approves your templates, add them in your Fast2SMS panel: entity first, then sender ID, then each template. They appear as simple dropdowns after that.

Selecting the DLT entity in the Fast2SMS panel before adding SMS templates — Your DLT entity, sender ID and templates live as dropdowns in the panel.

Use them in WooCommerce with one click

In the free Fast2SMS plugin, open any automation and click Fetch templates from Fast2SMS. Your approved DLT templates load into the picker, and you map each variable to order data with dropdowns while a live preview shows the final message.

Mapping DLT SMS template variables to WooCommerce order data in the Fast2SMS plugin — Approved templates load automatically. Variables map to {name}, {order_id}, {amount} and more.

Frequently asked questions

Can I copy these templates exactly?

Yes, that is what they are for. Swap BRAND for your store name, submit them on your DLT portal under your entity, and keep the tags and variable positions as shown.

How long does template approval take?

Usually a few hours to a couple of working days, faster than entity registration. Fast2SMS free DLT support can review your wording before you submit.

Why was my template rejected?

The usual causes: a link in an {#alphanumeric#} variable, unregistered CTAs for {#url#} or {#cbn#}, consecutive non-alphanumeric variables, or the wrong category. Fix against the five rules above and resubmit.

Can one template serve several events?

Yes. A generic template like the order placed one can be reused across events in the plugin, each with its own variable mapping. Separate templates read better though.

Do WhatsApp messages need DLT templates?

No. WhatsApp needs Meta template approval instead, managed from the same Fast2SMS panel. Many stores send WhatsApp first and keep these SMS templates as backup.

Where do the plugin variables come from?

The plugin offers order data like {name}, {order_id}, {amount}, {payment_method}, {city} and more for each event. You map them to your template variables once and save.
