CartReclaim
Recover abandoned carts with personalized SMS sequences.
● The Problem
70% of e-commerce carts are abandoned. Email recovery has a 5-10% open rate. SMS has a 98% open rate but most Shopify stores only use email for recovery because SMS tools are complex to set up.
● The Solution
A Shopify app that sends personalized SMS sequences to cart abandoners. Timed messages with product images, discount offers, and urgency. TCPA-compliant opt-in management built in.

Usage-BasedCompetitive Landscape
Klaviyo and Postscript are full SMS marketing platforms ($100+/month). Most small Shopify stores just need cart recovery, not a full platform. A focused $29/month cart recovery tool has demand.
Why Now?
Email open rates are declining. SMS remains the highest-engagement channel. The tools are still priced for enterprise despite the SMB demand.
