SMS marketing and order notifications for South African stores, built around POPIA and WASPA.

Howzit sends SMS campaigns and order updates for South African stores. Marketing goes out only inside South Africa's legal sending hours, never on Sundays or public holidays, and every message carries an opt-out that writes straight back to your Shopify customer records. Automations cover welcome messages, abandoned checkout, order confirmations, shipping updates and win-backs. Expand your list with a storefront sign-up block and double opt-in, and answer customer replies in a two-way SMS inbox.

Great app! Super helpful in reaching customers with all kinds of updates. Really love how affordable the SMS's are and how easy it is to set up a campaign and send it out.

Really lovely team to work with as their support helped me whenever I had a question or query. I would recommend to any business starting out with marketing as it's helped me a lot.
