Today, we’re going to talk about viewing and resending SMS notification for order on Shopify. In your online business on Shopify, contacting to your customers is an especially important part for you to keep trace with the orders and to take care of your customers better. By default, if the customers want to buy a product from your Shopify online store, they have to provide their private email address to receive notifications about the order such as the confirmation of the order, or the shipping condition.

But with Shopify, we let you allow your customers to choose if they want to provide their email or not, by giving another information providing choice such as the Enter phone number at checkout permission. The function not only gives the customers another way to provide their private information based on what they want to reveal to others, but also could help the shop owners in managing orders and taking care of their customers in a brand new and convenient way.
