FAQ
Questions. Answered.
Is tuco.ai available for Shopify stores right now?
tuco.ai is currently in private beta for Shopify stores. We're onboarding a limited number of high-growth merchants who need iMessage automation for customer support, cart recovery, and post-purchase follow-ups. Book a demo to get early access and priority onboarding.
How does iMessage automation work for Shopify stores?
tuco.ai integrates directly with your Shopify store to send automated iMessages to customers. When a customer abandons their cart, places an order, or asks a question, our AI automatically sends personalized iMessages via iMessage. We handle inventory checks, order status updates, and customer support 24/7 -- all through iMessage where your customers actually respond.
Why use iMessage instead of email for Shopify customers?
During BFCM and peak shopping seasons, customer inboxes are flooded with promotional emails. iMessage reply rates run 15-65% across our customer accounts, against published cold-email reply benchmarks near 1% (Mailchimp, Sendgrid). Plus, 60%+ of Shopify customers shop on mobile using Apple Pay -- they're already in iMessage. Cart recovery, order updates, and support questions get answered instantly where your customers are already active.
What Shopify integrations does tuco.ai support?
We integrate with Shopify's native APIs to access inventory data, order status, customer information, and cart abandonment events in real-time. Our AI can answer questions like 'Is this in stock?' or 'Where is my order?' automatically by pulling live data from your Shopify store. We also sync with Shopify Plus, Shopify Flow, and major apps like Klaviyo and Recharge.
Can I use this for cart abandonment recovery?
Yes! Cart abandonment via iMessage is one of our most powerful features. When a customer abandons their cart, we automatically send a personalized iMessage within minutes (not hours). Early beta stores are seeing reply rates of 15-65% across customer accounts rates vs. email. iMessages get opened immediately, and customers can click through directly to complete their purchase.
How does it handle customer support during BFCM?
Our AI-powered support handles common questions 24/7: inventory checks, order tracking, shipping updates, return policies, and product information. It pulls real-time data from your Shopify store, so answers are always accurate. During BFCM when your team is overwhelmed, customers get instant responses via iMessage -- even at 2 AM. Complex questions get escalated to your team, but 80%+ of inquiries are handled automatically.
What about customers who don't have iMessage?
Our system automatically detects if a customer has iMessage enabled. If they don't, we fall back to SMS or email based on your preferences. However, 60%+ of Shopify customers use Apple devices and have iMessage, so most of your high-value customers will receive messages via iMessage. We're also working on WhatsApp integration for international customers.
Is this compliant with Apple's terms and messaging regulations?
We operate on real Apple hardware within Apple's ecosystem — no emulators, no jailbreaks. Automatic opt-out handling and consent management are built in, we are TCPA compliant, and all messages are transactional or opt-in marketing only.
How much does it cost for Shopify stores?
During our private beta, we're offering early-access pricing at $39/month (normally $99/month) for Shopify stores. This includes unlimited iMessages, Shopify integration, cart recovery automation, AI customer support, and full analytics. Pricing scales based on message volume for high-volume stores. Book a demo to lock in beta pricing.
How quickly can I get set up?
Setup takes under 30 minutes. Connect your Shopify store (one-click OAuth), configure your cart recovery triggers, set up AI support responses, and you're live. We handle all the technical infrastructure -- no coding required. Most stores are sending automated iMessages within an hour of signup. Our team provides onboarding support for beta users.
Can I customize the messages and branding?
Absolutely. You control all message templates, tone, and personalization. Use Shopify customer data (name, order history, product preferences) to personalize every message. Customize cart recovery messages, order confirmations, shipping updates, and support responses to match your brand voice. All messages come from your business number, so customers see your store name.
What kind of results are beta stores seeing?
We publish reply rate, because that is what we measure: 15-65% across customer accounts with a median of 27%, and 93% delivery including SMS fallback. We do not publish recovered-revenue figures - recovered carts are counted in your store analytics, never in ours, so any dollar number from us would be a guess.
Don't let them slip.
Secure your spot for December onboarding -- done-for-you reactivation campaigns with measured reply rates of 15-65% via iMessage.
