# Postscript

{% hint style="info" %}
CheckoutChamp’s Integration to Postscript will allow you to create subscribers tied to Keywords in Postscript and to trigger pre-configured Postscript Automations to re-engage these subscribers.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
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

*\*I agree to receive recurring automated marketing text messages (e.g. cart reminders) at the phone number provided. Consent is not a condition to purchase. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel. View our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.*\
