Frequently Asked Questions

Does Recart offer a free plan or trial?

Recart does not offer a permanent free tier. All plans are paid subscriptions billed on quarterly or annual commitments, though you can request a demo or audit before signing up.

What pricing model does Recart use?

Recart uses a subscription-plus-usage model: a monthly platform fee covers the base service and an included message allowance, with additional SMS and MMS messages billed at per-message rates that decrease on higher-tier plans.

Does Recart work with platforms other than Shopify?

No — Recart is built exclusively for Shopify. If your store runs on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or another platform, you'll need a different SMS solution.

What makes Recart's opt-in pop-ups different?

Recart's proprietary OneClick Opt-in™ technology lets a visitor subscribe to SMS (and email) with a single tap on mobile, pre-filling their number from the browser — eliminating the friction of typing and resulting in substantially higher conversion rates compared to standard form-based pop-ups.

What automations can I set up with Recart?

Out of the box, Recart supports abandoned cart reminders, browse abandonment, welcome sequences, post-purchase follow-ups, fulfillment/shipping updates, and winback campaigns — all configurable through its flow builder with A/B testing built in.
