QwikPass is the on-site capture feature in the QwikPing Shopify app. Show a popup that asks for a phone number instead of an email, deliver the coupon instantly on WhatsApp, and keep every number you collect in the same list your campaigns already use.
QwikPass is a WhatsApp opt-in popup for Shopify stores. It shows a popup on your storefront that asks a visitor for their phone number instead of their email address, then delivers a coupon code to them on WhatsApp within seconds. Every number captured carries recorded consent and lands in the same QwikPing contact list your broadcasts and automations already run on.
Who it is for: Shopify and Shopify Plus merchants in India and Southeast Asia who already use WhatsApp to reach customers and want to grow an opted-in subscriber list from traffic they are paying for. It is most useful to stores running paid acquisition, seasonal sales, or frequent product drops — and least useful to stores whose customers do not use WhatsApp.
QwikPass handles the whole path: it asks for the number, delivers the coupon on WhatsApp, and files the contact into the list your campaigns already run on \u2014 without a CSV export anywhere in the loop.
Set the offer, write the headline, and match the colours to your storefront. Choose when it appears — after a few seconds, at a scroll depth, or on exit intent — and how often a returning visitor sees it again.
One field, one tap. The popup states clearly what the visitor is signing up for, so the opt-in is explicit and recorded against the contact — which is what keeps your WhatsApp number in good standing.
QwikPing sends the code through your approved template straight away, while the visitor is still browsing. No export, no separate campaign to schedule, no waiting for an email that may never be opened.
Every contact captured flows into the same list your broadcasts, automations, and shared inbox already use. A visitor who signed up today can receive your festive campaign next month without any re-import.

A coupon sitting in a promotions tab competes with everything else in the inbox. The same code on WhatsApp lands in a thread the customer checks through the day — which is why the channel is worth asking for a number rather than an address.
Phone-number capture asks for less than a typical newsletter form, and shoppers on mobile type a number faster than an email address. Fewer fields is the oldest reliable lever on form completion there is.
Numbers captured through QwikPass carry recorded consent, so they are safe to message under WhatsApp’s opt-in rules. That is the difference between a list you can broadcast to and one that quietly damages your number’s quality rating.
Offer a first-order code in exchange for a number, then deliver it on WhatsApp before the visitor leaves.
Catch visitors heading for the back button with an offer worth staying for.
Let shoppers leave a number on sold-out products and alert them the moment stock returns.
Build an opted-in list ahead of Diwali or an end-of-season sale, ready to broadcast on day one.
Gate a launch behind a signup so subscribers hear about new products first.
A number captured on arrival means an abandoned cart can be followed up even when checkout was never reached.
QwikPass captures the number. The rest of QwikPing is what you do with it — cart recovery, order updates, and campaigns from the same contact list.
What a WhatsApp popup is, whether it beats an email signup form, how to keep the opt-in compliant, and what happens to the numbers you collect. Open-rate figures below are cited from published 2026 benchmarks.
A WhatsApp popup is an on-site form that collects a visitor's phone number with explicit consent, then sends them a message — usually a coupon — on WhatsApp. The mechanics are the same as an email newsletter popup: offer something worth having, ask for a single field, deliver immediately. What changes is the destination. Instead of adding an address to a list you reach through the inbox, you add a number to a list you reach in a chat thread, and the welcome offer arrives in seconds rather than whenever the customer next checks their email.
For stores whose customers already use WhatsApp daily, yes — mainly because the messages get read. It is worth being precise here, because the numbers get badly exaggerated. The frequently repeated claim that WhatsApp sees a "98% open rate" has no credible source behind it. Measured 2026 benchmark data puts the real message-weighted average nearer 79–80%, with a per-brand median around 72%. Email benchmarks vary widely by source and are inflated by Apple's Mail Privacy Protection: Dotdigital's 2026 global report shows 55.4% on its dataset, while most vendor-published figures sit between 18% and 25%. The honest summary is that WhatsApp leads on open rate using comparable methodology, but the gap is narrower than most marketing pages claim. Treat it as a strong additional channel, not a replacement for email.

Yes, provided the visitor gives explicit opt-in before you message them. This is not optional: Meta's own opt-in documentation requires businesses to obtain permission before sending WhatsApp messages, and names website forms as an accepted method of collecting it. QwikPass popups state what the visitor is signing up for before they submit, and the opt-in is recorded against the contact. The practical consequence of ignoring this is immediate — messaging numbers that never opted in drives blocks and reports, which lowers your number's quality rating and eventually restricts how many messages you can send at all. Never import a purchased list.

It pays off when you already have traffic worth capturing and a reason to message people again later. Stores running paid acquisition benefit most, because a captured number lets you reach a visitor again without paying for a second click. The same applies to seasonal sales, frequent product drops, and restocks, where a reachable list is the difference between announcing a launch and hoping people notice it. It is a poor fit when your customers do not use WhatsApp, when you sell one-off high-consideration items nobody buys twice, or when you have no plan for what to send after the welcome coupon. A list you never message is not worth collecting.
QwikPass is the on-site capture feature inside the QwikPing Shopify app. It shows a popup on your storefront that asks visitors for their phone number, then delivers a coupon code or welcome offer to them on WhatsApp. Because the number is captured with explicit opt-in, you can keep messaging that customer through your QwikPing campaigns afterwards.
Yes. When a visitor submits their number, QwikPass sends the coupon through your approved WhatsApp template immediately — no manual export, no separate campaign to schedule. The customer gets the code while they are still on your store and ready to use it.
No. QwikPass uses the same WhatsApp Business API number already connected to your QwikPing account. Numbers captured through the popup flow into the same contact list your broadcasts and automations use, so there is nothing extra to set up or pay for.
QwikPass loads asynchronously, so it does not block your storefront rendering. You control when it appears — after a delay, at a scroll depth, or on exit intent — and how often a returning visitor sees it, so it stays out of the way of customers who have already subscribed.
Yes. Headline, body copy, button text, colours, and the offer itself are all editable, so the popup can match your store's branding rather than looking like a bolted-on third-party widget.
They land in your QwikPing contact list, tagged by the popup that captured them. From there they are available to every other part of the platform — broadcast campaigns, automation flows, and the shared team inbox — so a visitor captured today can receive a festive campaign next month without any export or re-import.
