Setting up your abandoned cart text messages with SlickText and Shopify is simple and straightforward. We've distilled the entire process down into 3 easy steps that will allow you to be up and running in a matter of minutes. Let's dive into what that looks like...
One of the features we're proud of here at SlickText is that our text alert service seamlessly integrates with Shopify. This makes texting for your online store incredibly easy. Whether you're looking to build a database of opt-ins for future SMS marketing, sync customer order data, send order status updates or automated text messages for cart recovery, our Shopify app does it all. The the first step in making this app happen is to connect SlickText with your Shopify account. This is done from your SlickText dashboard.
Once the integration is enabled, there are two specific ways you can set up your abandoned cart texts. You can create simple SMS messages that send at specific time intervals or build a more in-depth automated workflow that tailors the user experience based on their behavior.
Creating abandoned cart messages is easy. The text is fully customizable with merge tags, emojis, images etc. Additionally, you can insert a cart recovery link that takes customers right back to the last place they left off in their Shopify cart with all items intact. This allows people who may have started the checkout process on one device to finish on another.
The last thing you need to dial in is your message timing. You'll need to set how long after the cart has been abandoned you'll wait before you send your recovery text. You can choose to send it hours and minutes later or even days later. Timing is key and something you'll want to test to find the right delay.
If you’re looking to get more out of your abandoned cart SMS messaging our automated workflows are the way to go. You can create your messages just as easily but have much more flexibility with the user experience. You can tailor your texts based on the cart value, what a person’s previous order history looks like and even what links they are or aren't clicking on.
Your abandoned cart workflows can be infinitely long and take customers down personalized paths that nurture them to complete their orders. You can also make use of integrations with third-party software to alert sales or customer support teams of issues a customer may be having.
Recovering abandoned Shopify carts can win back big revenue numbers for your business. It's important though that you clearly see the performance of your abandoned cart messages and understand attribution. We've built a gorgeous analytics dashboard that shows accurate, real-time data on the performance of your recovery messages. From giving you insight on total abandoned cart opportunity to recovered revenue and data by day, we provide everything you need to understand your ROI.
Now you might be asking yourself, "When do you consider a cart recovered?" That's a very appropriate question as you may have multiple channels for abandoned cart recovery. The good news is that our Shopify app is quite strict in the way it attributes a recovered cart to our text messages. We attribute a recovery to our app when the following happens...
Order Abandoned » SMS Sent » Customer Clicks » Order Completes

For years Shopify users have been sending abandoned cart emails and it's been working. The problem is that more and more emails are going unread, either because they go to junk, or people are just overwhelmed with too many. That's why SMS is such a powerful tool for abandoned carts. It cuts through the clutter because everyone reads their texts. In fact, over 90% of all text messages are read within minutes.
When someone leaves the checkout process, there's a "sweet spot" window of time where the customer can be influenced the most to come back and complete their purchase. You can't send an email and hope they get it, or hope they read it in time. One simple text message gets the job done. That's why we're seeing cart recovery rates for SMS tower over email.
