Prescription Received WhatsApp Template for Pharmacies & Medical Stores
A ready-to-adapt WhatsApp message for pharmacies and medical stores, with placeholders, sample values and compliance notes.
When to Send This Message
Send when a customer shares a prescription for an order. For pharmacies and medical stores, this is one of the everyday messages that keeps customers informed without a phone call. It can be sent manually from a panel at first and automated later through an API.
Local pharmacies compete with online delivery apps on trust, speed and availability.
The WhatsApp Template
Thank you {{1}}, we have received your prescription at [Business Name]. Our pharmacist will confirm availability and the bill amount within {{2}} minutes.[Business Name]
Example with sample values
Thank you Mr. Gupta, we have received your prescription at [Business Name]. Our pharmacist will confirm availability and the bill amount within 30 minutes.
Replace [Business Name] with your registered brand name. Links shown use example.com as a placeholder; use your own domain.
Placeholders and Sample Values
| Placeholder | Meaning | Sample value |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | Customer | Mr. Gupta |
| {{2}} | Minutes | 30 |
Filling in each placeholder
- Customer (sample: Mr. Gupta): Use the first name or the salutation the customer gave you; fall back to a neutral greeting if the field is empty.
- Minutes (sample: 30): Keep the value short and specific; test the longest realistic value to check the message still reads well.
This template has 2 placeholders and a body of 163 characters before values are filled in. WhatsApp allows up to 1,024 characters in a template body, but short messages with one clear action get the best response.
Category and Approval
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Compliance Checklist
- Links point to your own website or a trusted domain, and button labels are short and clear.
- Marketing messages include an easy way to opt out, and opt-outs are honoured promptly.
- The template is approved in the correct category before sending; utility and authentication templates cannot carry promotional content.
Rules to keep in mind for Pharmacies & Medical Stores
Online pharmacy operations in India are subject to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and evolving e-pharmacy rules, and prescription medicines must not be advertised to the public. Messages should be about service, availability and refills, never about promoting prescription drugs.
General guidance, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current requirements before launch. See our WhatsApp compliance guide for India.
Tips for Better Results
- Send it as close as possible to the event it relates to, such as right after booking or the day before an appointment.
- Keep one purpose per message; if you need to send a reminder and a document, the reminder should still make sense on its own.
Getting the prescription received message right
Confirm the prescription and when the order will be ready.
Where this message fits for Pharmacies & Medical Stores
Pharmacy customers want speed: they search for a medicine or the nearest open pharmacy, check stock and delivery time, and order by phone, app or WhatsApp. Regular customers with chronic conditions value refill reminders and home delivery, and trust in genuine medicines matters more than small price differences.
Maps listings and 'pharmacy open now' searches bring walk-ins; WhatsApp is ideal for sending prescriptions and confirming orders; SMS carries refill reminders and delivery updates; voice IVR handles stock enquiries out of hours; email is used for wellness product promotions.
Campaign ideas that pair with this template
- Monthly refill reminders for regular customers, timed to their last purchase
- Seasonal allergy and cold-and-flu product guides
- Free delivery offers for elderly customers within a set radius

Questions About This Template
When should a pharmacy send the prescription received message?
Send when a customer shares a prescription for an order. If customers reply, make sure someone on your team monitors and answers.
Do WhatsApp templates need approval?
Yes. Business-initiated messages outside the 24-hour customer service window must use a template approved by Meta. Approval is usually quick, but templates can be rejected or re-categorised if they break the guidelines.
Why is this template in the Utility category?
Utility templates must relate to a specific transaction, account or request the customer already has with you, such as a confirmation, reminder or status update. Do not add offers or promotional lines, as Meta may reclassify the template as marketing.
Can DND Teams set this up for my pharmacy?
Yes. We adapt the template to your business, register or submit it, and connect it to your software or our panel. Share your use case on WhatsApp or through the form.
