1. Pricing Plans

TxtCart offers four subscription plans to accommodate businesses of various sizes:

Pro Tip: Selecting the right plan for your business volume can significantly improve your ROI by reducing commission rates on recovered orders.

2. Carrier Charges

Carrier fees are pass-through charges from mobile carriers that apply to both incoming and outgoing messages:

Important Notes:

  • TxtCart does not set or profit from these fees

  • Carrier fees support the infrastructure costs for commercial text messaging

  • Fees are calculated daily and displayed in your Billing section

  • MMS messaging is currently supported only in the United States, Canada, and Australia

  1. Cart Recovery, Attribution & Commission Structure

TxtCart charges commission only on orders recovered through the cart recovery automation feature:TxtCart employs a multi-faceted approach for attributing sales or cart recoveries. By tracking customer interactions with SMS messages—such as link clicks, discount codes, and engagements with reminder messages—it ensures accurate attribution. This attribution is framed within a (1-7 days) adjustable View-through and (7 days) fixed Clicked/Discount Window to capture customer behavior effectively.

  • Commissions are based on successfully recovered orders

  • No commission is charged on other product sales

  • Attribution is tracked within a (1-7 days) window

  • Commission rates decrease as you upgrade to higher-tier plans

Attribution Triggers

  • Link Clicks: When customers click on links provided in TxtCart’s SMS messages, their purchases are recorded as recoveries.

  • Discount Code Usage: If customers apply TxtCart's discount codes, the purchases are attributed to TxtCart.

  • Engagement with Reminder Messages: Purchases made after customers interact with reminder messages are also attributed to TxtCart.

  • Actions Within the Attribution Period: Any purchases made within the attribution window count as recoveries. TxtCart’s commission billing works directly with the outlined attribution methods. Active engagements resulting in purchases, whether or not discounts are applied, solidify the claim for recovery commission.
