      What is an Opt-in Tool?

      In order to receive messages from Recart, your visitors have to subscribe to your messenger list. Subscribing to a messenger list is possible with the help of the Opt-in tools that appear on your store. Once the customers are on your messenger list, Recart will be able to send them automated messages so you can easily start a conversation with them.
