See every featureWe make it easy for customers to text you and for your team to text back using your business number. Text from Shopify's admin, POS, email, cellphones, helpdesk software, and business messaging platforms like Slack or Teams. Customers and businesses prefer texting for its speed, simplicity, and convenience vs. calls, emails, and live chat.
TxtFi plugs into Shopify automatically and reaches out to your customers via an automated text message to offer a gentle request to re-order, all thru a text message. In turn your customer can create their order right within that text message conversation. Your customers then can add items to their cart right within the conversation.
