We can’t tell if it’s tears of joy or spring allergies—but this month’s product updates have us shedding happy tears. Why? We’ve made some huge strides in providing an even better response branching experience for subscribers. 

Plus we’ve made it easier than ever to collect subscriber numbers anywhere during the checkout process. 

Check out what we’ve been cooking up below!

Send subscribers down the appropriate response branch even when they respond with a typo.

Merchants can now enable Approximate Matching in Subscriber Response branches to match subscriber responses to the intended response even if the subscriber’s reply is misspelled or contains a typo.

For example, if a merchant has Approximate Matching enabled and asks subscribers to respond with “Spring” or “Summer”; “sprng” and “summr” responses will still send subscribers down the correct branches in the flow.

This feature is currently in beta and will be rolled out over the coming weeks. If you’d like to enable this feature early, contact our Support team or your Customer Success Manager.

Growing your list just got easier with our new checkout extension for Shopify Plus merchants.

ICYMI, Shopify announced that checkout.liquid will be deprecated in '24. To continue providing our merchants with a best-in-class experience, we got to work creating a checkout extension. This means that Shopify Plus brands can now:

  • Boost their acquisition rate by collecting SMS opt-ins even during Shop Pay express checkout.

  • Provide a more personalized checkout experience by notifying subscribers if they're already subscribed to your SMS program.

  • Confidently ensure compliant SMS opt-ins for all subscribers. Afterall, our extension does automatically populate the latest TCPA language at checkout. 

  • Customize the placement of SMS collection in the checkout flow on any page.
