How Personal Free Shipping Discounts Solve Abandoned Carts in Shopify

The leading cause of cart abandonment in the world of E-Commerce is unexpected costs at checkout, such as added shipping, tax and other fees.

After the launch of the Personal Discounts in SMSBump, we decided to add even more power to your cart recovery strategies.
 

Now you can combine your abandoned cart SMS automations with tactics to decrease your overall cart abandonment rates in the first place.


Free Shipping is now part of the unique codes you can launch with your SMS marketing campaigns & automations!
