Text To Buy

​

Myth: Text to Buy Isn’t Allowed

Reality: When you send a text, you can link wherever you like: Your Site, Your App, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Etsy or OneText. OneText handles payments similarly to Livescale, a live shopping app which Shopify celebrates in a case study. The Big SMS companies can’t use our model to distribute via Shopify App Store. But you can still install OneText directly in 10 minutes.

Myth: Text to Buy Isn’t Compliant

Reality: TCPA doesn’t prohibit text to buy. Neither do carrier guidelines which we read closely. Happy to nerd out and get technical about the implications of the Short Code Handbook Section A, Item 18, paragraph 2 and Section 6, Item 2 of the T-Mobile Code of Conduct but TLDR, text to buy IS compliant.
