Communication is key in the fast-paced world of online shopping. Consumers want instant, direct messages that can reach them wherever they are, not just emails or website notifications.
Purpletree
SMS for Magento and OpenCart can help with that. By enabling store
owners to send real-time SMS alerts for orders, deliveries, promotions,
and other events, this robust extension helps to create a connected,
trustworthy, and enjoyable shopping experience.
Why SMS Alerts Matter in eCommerce
With open
rates above 95% and immediate visibility, SMS is still one of the best ways
to communicate with customers. Messages are sent directly to the customer's
mobile device, unlike email, so they never miss a crucial update.

• Send exclusive
discounts and promotional offers;
• Update
customers on the status of their orders.
• Inform
administrators and vendors of any updates or new orders.
• Increase
openness and foster client trust.
