Shopify SMS Marketing Flow Setup With Consent and Registration Done Right

Packages start at $690 for Opt-In Ready, $1,190 for Core Text Flows and $1,890 for Full SMS Program. The calculator adds sender type, consent routes and platform choices. The Shopify SMS marketing cost of the texts themselves is paid separately to your SMS provider, and we show setup pricing before you check out.

Shopify collects SMS consent at checkout and stores it on the customer, and it can send some order notifications. For marketing campaigns and flows you normally add an app. Does Shopify have SMS marketing in the full sense? Not on its own, which is why most stores use Klaviyo, Postscript, Attentive or Omnisend.

You choose an SMS app, connect it to Shopify, turn on the SMS checkbox, register your sending number, write the disclosure wording, build the flows and test on real phones. Each step has traps, such as separate email and SMS consent and registration waits, which is why many owners hand it to us.

Turn on SMS inside your existing account, sync the Shopify checkbox, choose a number type and register it. After that, texts can sit in your flows beside emails. We handle the sync, the registration and the first flows, and we check that existing email flows do not overlap the new texts.

There is no single best SMS app for Shopify. Klaviyo suits stores that already use it for email, Postscript and Attentive are text specialists and Omnisend combines channels. We compare them against your volume, countries, budget and team, and set up whichever you choose.

It is a setup we do regularly, including checkout consent, number registration, the welcome and cart flows and keyword opt-in. We also work with Klaviyo, Attentive and Omnisend, and can audit and rebuild an app you installed earlier.

We configure the checkbox and disclosure wording, store the record against the customer and keep email and text consent separate. We exclude contacts without proof of opt-in. This is a build standard and not legal advice, so ask counsel about the rules for your regions.

It depends on your list size, countries and email tool. Sms marketing software for Shopify differs in price per message, registration help, flow builders and reporting. We recommend one after a short review of your store and give our reasons in writing.

We can help you choose an SMS marketing tool for Shopify and migrate only contacts with valid consent. We do not import purchased lists or numbers collected without opt-in, since that puts your sender number and your store at risk.

It is, with permission. In the US, marketing texts need prior express written consent, and carriers and the TCPA set rules on content, timing and opt-out. Statutory damages are often quoted at $500 to $1,500 per message. Other regions have their own laws, so we build for your countries and recommend legal review.

Think of email as the main channel and text as a short, urgent one. We map both so a cart or order event does not trigger an email and a text at once, and so quiet hours and Smart Sending apply. You may keep one stream per event and escalate in a second step.

Shopify Flow can react to events and write tags, and some SMS apps offer Flow actions, so a Shopify Flow SMS workflow can tag a high-value customer or trigger an app action. Flow is not an SMS sender, so the message itself is sent by your SMS app.

Shopify SMS notifications for orders and delivery are transactional. They are separate from marketing and need their own consent rules, which is why we set them up on their own track. We can use your platform's tracking messages or Shopify's notifications where available.

Launching texts takes 5 to 14 working days across our packages. Registration with carriers or toll-free verification can add waiting time we do not control, so we start it on day one and build the flows while it is pending.

You receive a recorded walkthrough and a written sender and consent sheet. The top package includes 14 days of fixes and a 30-day support extra is offered. We recommend reviewing results and unsubscribe rates after the first month before adding more flows.
