About OptiMonk


OptiMonk helps shops create better shopping experiences for their customers. With OptiMonk, you can use advanced segmentation, A/B testing, and analytics to understand customer behavior and craft a personal shopping experience. 

Why You Should Set Up OptiMonk


  • Promote special offers that turn new visitors into first-time buyers and convert existing customers into repeat buyers.
  • Recommend products to boost average order value and generate larger purchases.
  • Proactively prevent cart abandonment by detecting whether someone is about to leave your site.

Compliance Language Requirements


When collecting subscribers, the TCPA requires you to include necessary compliance language that informs visitors they are opting into SMS messaging from your store. At Postscript, we hard code compliance language into the popups you use.

Here's the TCPA-approved compliance language: 

*By providing your number and clicking the button, you agree to receive recurring auto-dialed marketing SMS (including cart reminders; AI content; artificial or prerecorded voices) and our TERMS OF SERVICE (including arbitration). Consent is not required to purchase. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply HELP for help; STOP to opt-out. View PRIVACY POLICY.

Note: In order to collect subscribers compliantly, your shop's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy need to be hyperlinked in the language shown above. If they cannot be hyperlinked, the full URLs of each need to be included so a viewer may search your terms or privacy policy if needed.

For example, "View our Terms of Service (https:/myshop.com/terms-of-service/) and Privacy Policy (https://myshop.com/privacy-policy/).”

You should now be all set to get started with OptiMonk!

   Note: When collecting subscribers using a list growth integration, subscribers will be prompted with a "Reply Y to Subscribe" text to confirm their opt-in. This allows your shop to confirm they are a valid, consenting subscriber. This Reply Y interaction is automatic and cannot be disabled.
