What does "Opt-in tool" mean?
In order to receive messages from Recart, your visitors have to subscribe to your Messenger list. Subscribing to Messenger list is possible with the help of the Opt-in tools that appear on your store. Recart has three types of Opt-in Tools: Popups, Widgets and the Customer Chat.
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.
You will see a list of your Opt-in Tools on the Opt-in Tools Page.
You can create multiple Popups, just make sure you set proper URL targeting so they don’t interfere. On the other hand you can have only one Customer Chat Opt-in Tool.
You will find the status and the performance statistics next to each Opt-in Tool on the same page.
-
Impression: The number the tool has been displayed to visitors
-
Clicks: The number the visitors clicked on the tool
-
CTR: The number of clicks divided by the number of impressions
-
Subscriptions: The number of visitors who opted-in to your list via the tool
You can filter for the Opt-in Tools by Type, Device, Status and Channel. Please note that the channels are only visible if the feature is activated on your account.
