原文外掛簡介
Arik Sahaj Checkout turns WhatsApp into a real WooCommerce checkout flow. Unlike basic “click-to-chat” plugins, this plugin creates a real WooCommerce order (a shadow order) the moment a customer clicks the WhatsApp button protecting your inventory from overselling while the customer completes the conversation on WhatsApp.
Why a “Shadow Order”?
When a customer clicks the WhatsApp button, the plugin:
Creates a real WooCommerce order with the selected product, quantity, and variations
Reduces stock immediately (atomic no race conditions)
Opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message including the Order ID
Suppresses transactional emails so admin and customer aren’t notified prematurely
The result: your inventory is protected, your dashboard has a clean record of every WhatsApp inquiry, and you never oversell.

Privacy Policy
This plugin does not collect or transmit any personal data to external services. All order data is stored locally in your WordPress/WooCommerce database, which you control.
The plugin stores the following data on each shadow order:
Customer IP address (standard WooCommerce field for fraud prevention)
Customer user agent (standard WooCommerce field for fraud prevention)
Product ID, variation ID, quantity, and variation attributes selected
Order timestamp
For logged-in customers, the order is attached to their WordPress user account. Anonymous customers have no personally identifying data stored beyond IP/user agent (which WooCommerce stores for all orders, not just shadow orders).
No data is sent to any third-party service. The WhatsApp deep link (wa.me) opens on the customer’s device using only the destination number and message text you configure the plugin does not contact WhatsApp’s servers itself.
Requirements
WordPress 6.0 or higher
WooCommerce 7.0 or higher (tested up to 9.5)
PHP 7.4 or higher
MySQL 5.6 or higher / MariaDB 10.1 or higher
