Optimized Checkout Settings

Required changes to your checkout to ensure that you are compliant, and we can text customers once they have successfully opted in.

1) Go to your Checkout Settings in the Shopify Admin Settings

2) In the Customer Contact Section, select "Customers can only checkout using email"

Note: this will separate out the email and phone fields at checkout.

3) Scroll down to the Form options and change the Shipping Address Phone number to Optional.

4) Select the checkbox for SMS under Marketing Options

5) Click Save

6) Scroll to Manage Checkout Language

7) In the filter bar, type in "Phone"

For Phone Label and Optional Phone Label, copy and paste this text to your settings:

Phone - get support, offers, and updates via text

Then save, search "Marketing" in the filter bar, and enter the below text:

Text me exclusive promotions, offers and deals

Lastly, search for "By signing up" in the filter bar, and enter the text below:

By signing up via text, you agree to receive recurring automated messages from [INSERT STORE NAME HERE], including cart reminders, at the phone number provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Reply STOP to unsubscribe. Reply HELP for help. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. View our {{ privacy_policy_link }} and {{ terms_of_service_link }}.

Once you have completed this, scroll to the top and press save. Congrats you are complete!
