Amidst all the chaos in the Shopify app ecosystem lately, figured it's a good time to remind everyone what we're doing at TxtCart. We're the only remaining major SMS platform exclusively dedicated to SMS and ecommerce. No email, no distractions. Just SMS. We're AI-native, today. Our AI Agent has real, two-way conversations with shoppers. Answering questions, recommending products, and recovering abandoned checkouts. We're a full lifecycle SMS platform. Campaigns, automations, segmentation, popups, and flows covering everything from welcome to winback. We're building an open ecosystem. API, MCP, deeper integrations, and more control for merchants. We have the best support team in the business. Highest-rated SMS app on Shopify, 24/7 support for everyone, and average response times under 1 minute. We've spent years building TxtCart around SMS, and we're not changing that. If you're reconsidering your SMS provider, my DMs are open.

Learn from Phil. He’s much older and wiser Collect those emails and sms, build your retention program And most importantly. Send more texts. Ideally with TxtCart.ai

Pretty interesting developments for SMS marketing heading into Q4. TCPA class action filings are down YoY for 3 consecutive months. August fell 11.7%, July fell 45%. Federal courts are also increasingly questioning whether SMS falls under certain TCPA Do Not Call provisions. Doesn't mean consent goes out the window. Far from it. But for ecommerce brands building first-party SMS lists, it's an encouraging development. With BFCM around the corner, I'd be doubling down on list growth, automated flows, segmentation, and campaign volume. Your customers are about to get flooded with emails and ads. Having a direct, permission-based channel to reach them is a massive advantage. Don't sleep on SMS this Q4.

Custom & Enterprise deal volume at @TxtCart hasn't slowed down heading into October. Lots of larger Shopify brands making moves ahead of BFCM. If you're looking to scale SMS for Q4, hit me up. We're offering some of the best SMS rates out there for high-volume senders. LFG.

Whop + TxtCart coming soon

Another whale just landed at @TxtCart. Right before Q4. The brands coming to us now look very different than they did 12 months ago. Bigger lists, bigger sends, bigger expectations. We built for this.

We won't build email. We partner with specialists who already do it well, starting with Seguno. Postscript's own words: "expertise and resources focus solely on SMS, and always will." This past week they launched email. We're doing the opposite. Partnering with specialists like Seguno instead of building our own. Specialization isn't something you graduate out of. It's a bet you keep making or you don't.

3 new faces at @TxtCart: Meenz → Head of Organic Growth & Brand, formerly Storylane Jaimy → Customer Success Manager Claire → Customer Support, formerly AutoDS We’ve kept the team intentionally lean, so every hire matters. Really excited about the group we’re putting together.

Pumped to have Belver on board. Brands put a ton of work into their site and customer experience. Their SMS should feel like an extension of that, not a completely different company texting you.
