1/4/24 - We have pushed a minor update to the existing responses to our AI texts to your customers. This further refines the messaging and should result in better conversations and allow for the live agents on standby to better assist when intent confidence is not high enough for the AI to handle. Further updates and a larger GenAI overhaul to conversations will come later this year.

You can now sign up as an affiliate through the Shoffi Platform and begin referring TxtCart to your friends, family, and network at large. If someone you know owns a Shopify / Shopify Plus store and can benefit from having SMS Marketing and cart Recovery, simply share the link, once they sign up for a paid plan, you earn 20% of their plan value for the first 12 months!

11/25/23 - UK & Australia texting is now live for all TxtCart customers. We now offer a secure and easy way to text abandoned checkouts and subscribers who reside both in the UK and AUS with valid phone numbers.

To enable international texting you must go to your TxtCart "Settings" page in your dashboard and then proceed to the "Messages" page within settings. From there you may enable (and purchase) a unique UK and AUS number for your brand. UK numbers are $1.15/mo and AUS numbers are $6.15/mo respectively.

As for international texting rates, we charge an 8x multiple on top of the base US/CAD SMS and MMS rates. This is down from many who carry a 10X multiple. International rates are as follows:

10/30/23 - This a smaller update that you won't notice as much as it likely doesn't apply to your store, however, we are continuing to update/improve our monitoring and filtering systems as it relates to banning SHAFT content and preventing stores that sell SHAFT content from installation. With this comes modifications to words that are false positives when a store is in fact not selling SHAFT content but has been blocked from our services. For safety and regulatory reasons, we cannot disclose the exact changes or filtering we use but know that this is a continuing process required for SMS marketing and by carriers. If you feel you are wrongly blocked for SHAFT content, please reach out to us for a manual review. Not sure what SHAFT content is, take a look at our HELP DOC.
