Common questions

How do I send reminders to customers who haven't confirmed their cash-on-delivery order?

Use a follow-up tool that lists stale orders and sends a reminder automatically. On Pludor, open Outreach & CRM > Nudges, set the "older than" age in hours, pick a reminder template, and queue the nudges. Customer replies show up in the Inbox so you can respond quickly.

What are Pludor Nudges and what do they actually do?

Nudges list COD orders and leads that have been sitting longer than a number of hours you choose, then send a reminder using a template. It's built for cash-on-delivery sellers and businesses with slow-to-decide leads. You find it under Outreach & CRM > Nudges in a Pludor store.

How much does Pludor Nudges cost?

It's on for every store, including the Free plan at $0 with no item limit. Each month a free amount of everything is included; past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits to start.

How do I follow up on leads that have gone cold?

Set a reminder after a set number of hours of silence rather than chasing manually. In Pludor, Nudges does this: set the older-than filter in hours, choose a template, and queue the follow-ups. You can also track each lead from new to won in the Leads section.

How do I write a polite payment-on-delivery reminder message?

Keep it short, mention the order, and ask the customer to confirm they still want it and will pay on delivery. Pludor has a free Customer Follow-up Message Writer tool that drafts this for you - 8 free runs an hour with no account needed. You can then save the result as a reusable template in Pludor.

How do I set up message templates for follow-ups?

Create reusable messages with placeholders so you don't retype the same reminder. On Pludor, go to Outreach & CRM > Templates, press Add Defaults for a starter set, then write your own with a title, body and placeholders. You can use them in orders, nudges and campaigns.

Can I automate follow-ups instead of sending reminders manually?

Yes, with if-this-then-that rules. On Pludor, open Automation Rules in the Management menu, pick a trigger like new order, new lead, missed call or delivered order, then choose an action such as sending a template or creating a nudge. Test with a sample order and check the Failed list in Outreach for anything that didn't deliver.

How do I handle customer replies from WhatsApp, SMS and email in one place?

Connect your channels once and work from a single inbox. On Pludor, open Channels in the Operations menu to connect WhatsApp, SMS or email - every conversation then appears in the Inbox, newest first. Because the store and inbox are one system, the order context is right there in the chat.

Is Pludor Nudges better than HubSpot or GoHighLevel for COD reminders?

On typical CRM platforms, COD reminders and post-delivery follow-ups require custom workflows and integrations to get order context into chats. On Pludor, the store and inbox are one system, so nudges are ready-made and the inbox already knows the orders. Pricing also differs: those tools usually charge per seat or per contact, while Pludor includes it in store plans.

Do I need a paid plan to use follow-ups and COD reminders?

No, it's available on the Free plan, which is $0 with no item limit and every feature switched on. You only pay for what you use past the monthly free amounts, in credits where 1 credit equals 1 cent. A Pludor store is free to create, and new stores get 500 free credits.
