Tapcart Integration Basics
Understanding Push Notifications
Push notifications are real-time messages that appear directly on a customer’s mobile device, making them a powerful and cost-effective way to engage your audience. Unlike SMS or email, push notifications are free to send and don’t require marketing consent, allowing you to reach more users instantly. They grab attention quickly, drive immediate action, and create a new marketing channel to complement your SMS and email strategies. By integrating Tapcart with Yotpo SMS & Email, you can automate and personalize push notifications based on user behavior, segment audiences for targeted messaging, and track performance—all within a unified platform. This integration helps you boost engagement, increase conversions, and maximize revenue while keeping marketing costs low.
