Postscript
You must have an existing Shopify store in order to use PostScript. Subscribers are only added to your account if they explicitly opt-in by checking the contactOptin checkbox on the checkout page and replying “yes” to the initial message sent to their phone number. If a subscriber replies “N” or “No” they will not be added to your Postscript subscribers list.
In order to stay in compliance with TCPA and CITA standards all clients wanting to use Postscript will have to include the following verbiage on any-and-all pages of your funnel that phone number is collected
