SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EZ Texting, the SMS marketing platform trusted by more than 230,000 customers, today announced its availability in the Shopify App Store, making it easier for ecommerce merchants to discover, install, and start using EZ Texting to automate their SMS marketing and engage customers at key moments in the buying journey.
With the average cart abandonment rate hovering around 70%, the opportunity to recover lost revenue through timely, automated texts is significant. According to EZ Texting’s own 2026 Consumer Texting Behavior Report, consumers subscribed to business texts are 67% more likely to make a purchase – and 89% check a text within 15 minutes of receiving it. For Shopify merchants competing for attention at every stage of the funnel, SMS is no longer optional.
“SMS is the highest-attention channel in ecommerce – it gets read, it drives action, and it meets customers where they already are. With EZ Texting now in the Shopify App Store, we’re making it easier for merchants of any size to put that channel to work,” said Vijesh Mehta, CEO of EZ Texting. “And with AI, automation, and the infrastructure to scale, EZ Texting is built to grow with merchants from their first campaign to their hundredth.”
With this expansion, Shopify merchants can connect their stores to EZ Texting and leverage its full SMS platform, including contact management, text broadcasts, time-saving AI, and automated workflows, to drive revenue and foster customer loyalty.
