About the Howzit ‑ SMS Marketing
Howzit delivers SMS marketing and order notifications designed specifically for South African Shopify stores. The app ensures full compliance with POPIA and WASPA regulations by sending campaigns only during legal hours, never on Sundays or public holidays.
Send automated SMS messages for welcome sequences, abandoned checkout recovery, order confirmations, shipping updates, and customer win-backs. Every marketing message includes an opt-out link that automatically updates your Shopify customer records, keeping your database accurate and compliant.
Grow your SMS subscriber list with a storefront sign-up block featuring double opt-in. Track campaign performance with revenue attribution within 72 hours of each click, so you know exactly what's working. The built-in two-way SMS inbox lets you answer customer replies directly from your Shopify admin.
Order updates reach all buyers, even those who haven't opted into marketing, ensuring important transactional messages always get through. Perfect for South African merchants who need reliable SMS automation that respects local regulations and quiet hours.
