Steal These 10 Order Confirmation Text Message Examples

In 2022, the statistics say that more than 263 million Americans shop online–and that number is only expected to climb over the next few years.

Add to that the fact that 70% of consumers opted in to receive texts from businesses in 2022, and the numbers add up to one very clear picture…

You should be sending order confirmations and updates over text. 

One of the reasons online shopping is so popular is that it’s fast. You can keep the speed and convenience coming with texts for things like order status, shipping notifications, and even returns.

To give you some inspiration as you plan your order status messages, we’ll give you our favorite templates in this article. 

Then you can set up integrations with your favorite e-commerce tools to automate these texts.

How to Write The Perfect Order Confirmation Text

These text message templates will help you get started texting your customers, but we still recommend keeping a few tips in mind:

• Keep it short and simple. Let your contacts know the status of their order and include a friendly greeting.
• Consider sweetening the deal. Customers will appreciate the communication itself, but adding a discount code or special offer to your messages never hurts.
• Be prompt. We love texting because it’s fast, but that only counts if you’re sending your texts on time. As soon as the status of an order changes, fire off your SMS (you can even automate your messages with SimpleTexting).
