Choose an Opt-in Method
You need to choose a way to opt users into your Messenger contact list, think of this like your email collection efforts. ShopMessage has three types of opt-in methods. We suggest activating one or more growth tools to grow your contact list.
ShopMessage Growth Tools allow you to strategically place incentivized pop ups on your website. These pop ups allow your users to opt in with just one click!

Activate your flows
Each ShopMessage flow is built to work right out of the box, so setting up and turning on your flows takes just a few minutes. To get started, visit the Flows section of your dashboard and click the + symbol next to the flow you want to publish.
We recommend starting with Abandon Cart, Customer Thank You and Browse Abandonment. Although you can use our templates out of the box, we suggest that you update all text and images to fit your brand.

Other Items to Consider
Are you using a third party/non-standard Shopify checkout?
This may require some additional work on your end. Click here to learn how ShopMessage works with third party checkouts.
Are you prepared for customer service inquiries to increase?
Most customer support help desks allow you automatically close out all tickets coming from quick-replies or buttons. That way the only remaining messages are the ones that truly require a response.
We suggest updating your existing helpdesk, or check out our Gorgias Integration!
