WhatsApp abandoned cart templates in Chinese

By Alva Chew 7 min read Updated November 11, 2026

A WhatsApp abandoned cart message in Chinese names what is left in the cart, gives the checkout link and invites a question, in the tone your customers use. Below are 8 templates written in Chinese, each with an English gloss. Send them as approved marketing templates, only to customers who opted in. When the customer replies, AeroChat answers in Chinese from your store and can take the payment in the chat.

Writing abandoned carts in Chinese

These templates are in Simplified Chinese as it is written in Malaysia and Singapore. Use 您 rather than 你 for a polite tone with customers you don’t know. Shoppers in both countries often mix in English words such as “order”, “COD” or “size”, so a few English terms in a reply read naturally. Keep sentences short and direct. Long, formal openings feel stiff in a chat.

WhatsApp rules to know before you send

  • A cart reminder is a marketing template. Meta’s guidelines class a message that reminds a customer about items in their cart and asks them to check out as marketing, even when the customer asked for it. Submit your Chinese version in the marketing category. See the WhatsApp message templates guide and the glossary entry on WhatsApp message templates.
  • The 24-hour window. If the customer messaged you in the last 24 hours, you can reply in free text, in any language. Outside that customer service window, a business-initiated message needs an approved template, either utility or marketing.
  • One language per template. You choose a language when you submit a template. Submit the Chinese text as its own version, next to your English one.
  • Opt-in first. Send cart reminders only to customers who agreed to receive WhatsApp marketing from you.
  • Each message has a cost. Meta charges by message category and country. See conversation-based pricing.

Send these automatically with AeroChat

AeroChat sends your approved Chinese cart template when a checkout is left, to customers who opted in to WhatsApp marketing. Items, checkout link and prices come from your store platform, such as Shopify, WooCommerce or Wix. When the customer replies, the 24-hour window opens and AeroChat answers in free text, in the language they write in: sizes, shipping, stock, payment. If they want to buy, it sends a payment link from your gateway, such as HitPay, Airwallex, and confirms the order when the payment is detected. The customer never types “paid”.

Copy this into AeroChat

When a customer leaves a checkout without paying for 1 hour (example), check that they opted in to WhatsApp marketing. If not, do nothing. If the customer has written to us in Chinese before, send our approved Chinese template cart_reminder_local (example) with their first name, the items and the checkout link. Otherwise send the English one. Send one more reminder after 24 hours (example), never more than two. When they reply, answer in the language they write in, and use 您, keep it short and warm. Answer questions about size, stock, shipping and payment from our store. If they want to buy here, confirm the items, address and total, and send a payment link. When the payment is received, confirm the order. If they reply STOP, opt them out.

Questions

Is a cart reminder in Chinese still a marketing template?

Yes. The language doesn’t change the category. Meta’s guidelines class cart reminders that ask the customer to check out as marketing, even if the customer asked for them.

Do I need a separate Chinese template?

Yes, for the first message. Each approved template has one language, so submit a Chinese version next to your English one. Replies after the customer answers are free text, in any language.

What if the customer writes in English, or mixes Chinese and English?

AeroChat replies in the language the customer writes in. If they mix Chinese with English words, or switch language halfway through the chat, AeroChat follows them. You don’t need to set a language per customer.

Can the customer pay in WhatsApp?

Yes. AeroChat sends a payment link in the chat and confirms the order once the payment is detected.

AeroChat also answers your customers in Chinese on every channel. See AI customer service in Chinese.
