How a DLT template works<\/h2>\n\n ![\"Anatomy](\"https:\/\/www.fast2sms.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dlt-template-anatomy.png\")
Fixed text is approved once and must match exactly. Only the variables change.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUnder the new rules, every variable declares its data type with a tag: {#numeric#}<\/code> for digits, {#alphanumeric#}<\/code> for names and IDs, {#url#}<\/code> for links. Full reference in the DLT variable tagging guide<\/a>.<\/p>\nReady-to-copy templates for WooCommerce<\/h2>\n
Replace BRAND<\/strong> with your store name before submitting. Register these as Service Implicit unless noted, and the coloured chip on each variable tells you its type.<\/p>\n\nOrder placed · Service Implicit<\/div>\nDear {#alphanumeric#}<\/span>, your order {#alphanumeric#}<\/span> of Rs {#numeric#}<\/span> has been placed successfully.

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

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.<\/p>\n\n ![\"Selecting](\"https:\/\/www.fast2sms.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-19-at-3.00.08-PM.jpeg\")
Your DLT entity, sender ID and templates live as dropdowns in the panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUse them in WooCommerce with one click<\/h2>\n
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.<\/p>\n\n ![\"Mapping](\"https:\/\/www.fast2sms.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/woocommerce-sms-whatsapp-order-notifications-fast2sms.png\")
Approved templates load automatically. Variables map to {name}, {order_id}, {amount} and more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFrequently asked questions<\/h2>\nCan I copy these templates exactly?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
How long does template approval take?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Why was my template rejected?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Can one template serve several events?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Do WhatsApp messages need DLT templates?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Where do the plugin variables come from?<\/h3>\n
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.<\/p>\n
