Postscript integration setup instructions

Last updated: June 29, 2026

Abra improves conversion at the point of opt-in by expanding the offers you can include in your SMS flow: gift with purchase, tiered rewards, multi-value, and combination discounts.

With this integration, when a new subscriber opts in, Abra will automatically apply the associated discount and auto-add the eligible free gift or activate on-site and in-cart dynamic strikethrough pricing. This creates a seamless experience for new subscribers and makes it easier for them to complete their purchase.

Setup Instructions

  1. Install Postscript and Abra

    • Ensure both Postscript and Abra apps are installed and set up in your Shopify store

  2. Create a Promotion in Abra and a Popup in Postscript

    • In Abra, create a promotion with any logic required for your offer. This could be:

FAQs

Why not just send a code via SMS?

You can do that too!

The benefit of the opt-in integration is that you can create a tailored experience at the exact moment of sign-up. Offers apply instantly across the customer journey with strikethrough pricing, cart logic, and storefront blocks, which removes friction and builds trust. Instead of a generic 15% off code (which has become table stakes), you can go above and beyond to genuinely reward new subscribers.

When should I use this?

This integration is best used as an always-on conversion tool for new SMS subscribers. You can change or update the promotion over time. Abra handles the logic, and your popup stays the same. It’s ideal for high-intent shoppers landing on your site for the first time.

What kinds of promotions work best here?

It depends on your product, price point, and customer base. Our recommendation is to think strategically about your margins and how discounts can improve them:

  • Gift with Purchase + Free Shipping: Take a product that’s moving toward zero value and position it as a high-perceived-value gift at a spend threshold. Add free shipping at the next spend tier.

  • Multi-Value Discounts: Assign different discount values to individual products based on margin. This gives you control over profitability while still creating a “deals are everywhere” feeling. This improves product discovery, conversion and AOV while helping you maintain your margins. 

  • Gift with Purchase + Order Discount: Combine a small order-wide discount (like 10%) with a free gift at a spend threshold. The % off drives conversion, while the gift boosts perceived value and encourages bigger carts.
