WhatsApp shipping update templates in Vietnamese

By Alva Chew 8 min read Updated November 11, 2026

A WhatsApp shipping update in Vietnamese tells the customer their order has shipped, with the courier, the tracking link and the expected delivery date, in the polite, natural Vietnamese your customers use. Below are 9 templates written in Vietnamese for shipped orders, split shipments, international parcels, preorders, address problems and cash on delivery. Each has an English line on when to use it and an English gloss. AeroChat sends them when an order is fulfilled in your store and answers “where is my order?” in Vietnamese from live tracking.

What a shipping update should do

Every shipping update you send is a “where is my order?” question you don’t have to answer. Include the courier name, the tracking link and the expected delivery date. If the order shipped in parts, say what’s in each parcel. Keep it to the facts of the shipment, so it can stay a utility message.

Writing these in Vietnamese

  • Address the customer as anh/chị. The templates use anh/chị because you often don’t know the customer’s gender. Once you know it, anh (for a man) or chị (for a woman) reads warmer.
  • Soften with dạ and ạ. Starting with dạ and ending with ạ is how a polite shop replies. Don’t drop them in a message to a customer.
  • Call your store shop. Vietnamese buyers say shop when they write to an online store, and stores call themselves shop or bên em. The templates use shop.
  • Keep the diacritics. Customers often type without accents, but a store message with full diacritics is easier to read and looks careful.

The WhatsApp rules that apply

If the customer messaged you in the last 24 hours, you can send any of these as a free-text reply. Outside that 24-hour customer service window, a business-initiated message needs an approved template. These messages fit Meta’s utility category when they are about the customer’s own order or account and contain nothing promotional. Meta’s guidelines say utility templates must not promote products, upsell, cross-sell or include offers. A template that mixes an update with a promotion is classed as marketing. Every WhatsApp template has a set language, so a version in another language is submitted and approved on its own. See the WhatsApp message templates guide, WhatsApp message templates and template approval.

Send these automatically with AeroChat

AeroChat sends shipping updates in Vietnamese when an order is fulfilled in your store platform, such as Shopify, WooCommerce or Wix, and when the courier’s tracking changes. Tracking comes from couriers and tracking apps connected through their API, such as AfterShip and 17TRACK. You can set AeroChat to send the Vietnamese version to customers who write to you in Vietnamese.

  • Shipped, split and preorder updates: triggered by fulfillments on the order, with the tracking number and courier from each one.
  • Expected delivery date: comes from the courier’s estimate when it gives one.
  • No update and new courier: triggered by tracking events, or by no scan for the number of days you set.
  • Address problems: AeroChat takes the corrected address in the chat, reads it back and updates the order or passes it to the courier.
  • “Where is my order?” in Vietnamese: AeroChat verifies the customer by email or phone and gives the live status in Vietnamese.
