Do this if your customers do not receive the Order or Shipped notification
Facebook set a quota to every page to send messages to prevent the users to exhaust the system. The quota given is decided by the number of users who interact with your messenger (page inbox) within 24hrs.
For Order notification
Section titled “For Order notification”Why are my customers successful in orders, the items are showing in the system, but why is the system not sending the order notification to them?
- The order notification sent from the system is unable to reach your customers when your page has reached the quota limit.
- Some customers set strong privacy settings that will cause the system to fail to send them the order notification too. It’s about the Facebook messenger policy.

Shipped notification

So it allows businesses will have up to 24 hrs to respond to a user. This also means that you can send anything including promotional content to the users within this time frame.
We understand that post-purchase updates might not able to comply with the policy of Standard messages to send within 24 hrs. So, Facebook allows sending the post-purchase update out of 24 hrs window with the condition that the users must have consented to this action.
