With an open rate of more than 98%, SMS marketing via live text messages is an incredibly powerful tool that can help you reach customers instantly and personally. You can use it to send special offers, promotions, promo codes or any other news related to your store. We find it most effective to use in a conversational, and non-intrusive way to recover Abandoned Checkouts!

SMS messages are currently available in the USA, Canada, UK & Australia at this time.

How do I get access to campaigns?

Campaigns Tool in TxtCart is available on Starter Plans and higher. You can also use the Conversations feature on TxtCart to manage two-way communication for campaigns, which allows you to reply to recipients directly from the dashboard.

How much does SMS/MMS messaging cost in campaigns?

Please find our below rates table. Please note that these are applicable to Campaigns, and Flows.

How do two-way SMS campaigns work?

TxtCart campaigns are two-way, allowing recipients to reply directly to your messages. These replies can be managed through the Inbox feature on your TxtCart dashboard. This functionality enables real-time engagement with your audience, providing a seamless communication experience.

Handling Replies for Campaigns and Abandoned Checkouts

While campaigns support two-way communication via the Conversations Tab, reply handling differs by feature:

  • For SMS Campaigns, you manage these interactions using the tools on the dashboard.

  • For Abandoned Checkouts, TxtCart AI and live agents handle replies to recover abandoned checkouts, enabling a more dynamic shopper engagement experience.
