About the App

OtterText is the SMS and Email marketing platform built for BigCommerce stores that need real results — not just message blasts. Connect your store in one click and start recovering abandoned carts, driving repeat purchases, and tracking actual sales revenue from every campaign and automation you send.

Unlike most platforms, OtterText serves all industries — including firearms, tobacco, alcohol, and other regulated businesses that get rejected or shut down by mainstream SMS providers. Every account is 10DLC compliant out of the box, so your messages actually get delivered.

OtterText syncs your BigCommerce customers, orders, and events in real time, giving you the data to send the right message at the right moment. Segment by purchase history, order value, product category, or custom tags. Build automated workflows that run 24/7 — from cart recovery and post-purchase follow-ups to winback campaigns and loyalty drips. Every message ties back to revenue so you know exactly what's working.

More than 500 businesses trust OtterText daily. One campaign generated over $100K in sales in 48 hours. Customers regularly report 10x–69x monthly ROI. And every account gets direct access to a real support team — no ticket queues, no bots.

App Features

Recover lost revenue and bring customers back

  • Abandoned Cart Recovery

    • Automatically send SMS and email reminders when customers leave items in their cart. Track recovered revenue per message directly in your dashboard.

  • Winback Campaigns

    • Re-engage lapsed customers with automated sequences triggered by inactivity. Target buyers who haven't purchased in 30, 60, or 90+ days with personalized offers to bring them back.

  • Post-Purchase Follow-Ups

    • Trigger thank-you messages, review requests, and cross-sell offers after every order — automatically. Turn one-time buyers into repeat customers without manual work.

  • Loyalty & Drip Campaigns

    • Drive memberships and repeat purchases with automated drip sequences spaced to keep customers engaged without overwhelming them. Smarter than a punch card, more powerful than points apps.

Track real revenue — not just clicks and opens

  • Campaign Sales Tracking

    • See the actual dollar amount generated by every SMS and email campaign you send. Know exactly which messages drive sales and which don't, so you can double down on what works.

  • Automation Revenue Attribution

    • Track revenue generated by every automation — abandoned cart recovery, winback sequences, post-purchase flows, and drip campaigns. See total revenue, revenue per message, and ROI at a glance.

  • Real-Time Analytics Dashboard

    • Monitor delivery rates, open rates, click-through rates, opt-ins, opt-outs, and revenue from a single dashboard. No switching between tools — everything you need to measure performance in one place.

Reach customers on SMS and Email with AI-powered tools

  • SMS & Email Campaigns

    • Send targeted one-time blasts or scheduled campaigns across SMS and email from one platform. Segment by purchase history, tags, location, or custom attributes for precision targeting.

  • AI-Powered Message Composer

    • Generate high-converting campaign copy instantly with built-in AI. Write, edit, and send compelling messages in seconds — not hours. AI responds faster than you can type.

  • Text-to-Pay

    • Send invoices and collect payments directly via SMS using Stripe. No portals, no chasing — customers pay with one tap from their phone.

  • Web Chat Widget

    • Capture leads from your website with a brandable chat widget. Conversations convert to SMS threads so you never lose a lead — even after hours, automated responses keep them engaged.

  • Review Request Automation

    • Automatically request Google Reviews after purchases and respond to reviews with AI-generated replies. Manage your reputation from the OtterText mobile app or dashboard.

Real-time BigCommerce data sync and smart segmentation

  • One-Click BigCommerce Integration

    • Connect your store in a single click. OtterText syncs customers, orders, and store events in real time — no manual imports, no CSV uploads, no developer needed.

  • Full Order Lifecycle Data

    • Get a unified view of every customer's actions in your BigCommerce store: placed, refunded, canceled, and fulfilled orders with product, catalog, and coupon data attached.

  • Audience Segmentation

    • Segment contacts by purchase history, order value, product category, custom tags, opt-in source, and engagement behavior. Build targeted lists that update automatically as new data flows in.

  • Customer Lifecycle Triggers

    • Trigger automated messages when accounts are created, orders are placed, items ship, refunds are processed, or customers hit milestones. Every touchpoint is an opportunity — and it runs on autopilot.

Built for every industry — including the ones other platforms reject

  • S.H.A.F.T. Industry Compliance

    • Purpose-built for firearms retailers, tobacco shops, alcohol brands, and other regulated businesses. Most SMS platforms block these industries entirely. OtterText gets you approved, compliant, and sending — with carrier-approved messaging and age-gate support included.

  • 10DLC Compliance

    • Every OtterText account includes full 10DLC registration and compliance. Your campaigns are carrier-approved from day one so messages actually reach your customers' phones — no filtering, no blocking.

  • Dedicated Support

    • Every account gets direct access to a real support team. No ticket queues, no chatbots, no waiting. Most customers are fully onboarded and sending their first campaign within 24 hours.

  • Integrations Beyond BigCommerce

    • OtterText connects natively with Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Mindbody, FareHarbor, Calendly, Stripe, and more — plus 1,000+ apps via Zapier and API. One platform for all your customer communication, regardless of where sales happen.

Case Studies

True Precision: 12,000% ROI and 60% Cart Recovery After Klaviyo Dropped Them

True Precision, a firearms parts manufacturer, was removed from Klaviyo over three years ago simply for operating in the firearms industry. With no SMS channel and no way to recover abandoned carts, they were leaving revenue on the table every day.

After switching to OtterText, True Precision was approved and fully onboarded as a regulated-industry merchant — no restrictions, no hoops. OtterText connected directly to their BigCommerce store, giving them full visibility into campaign performance and per-message ROI tracking.

The results: a 12,000% average ROI across all SMS channels and a 60% abandoned cart recovery rate once automations went live. Revenue that was previously walking out the door is now captured automatically through compliant, carrier-approved messaging.

Where other platforms see a liability, OtterText sees a customer. True Precision went from being blacklisted to running one of the highest-performing SMS programs on the platform.
