When launching Transactional Journey campaigns you will need to disable the default Shopify transactional notifications. Disabling these notifications reduces the number of messages a customer will receive about their order. When disabling notifications you have the option disable SMS messages if launching SMS-only Transactional Journeys or SMS and email messages if launching a journey that includes email.

Disabling Notifications for SMS-Only Transactional Journeys

When disabling notifications for SMS-only Transactional Journeys you must have specific settings available in your Shopify Plus configuration. If these configurations are not available then you will need to configure your journey to send both email and SMS messages to ensure your customers get notifications about your order.

To disable SMS-only notifications navigate to the Settings page of your Shopify Plus account.

In the Checkout section, find the Customer Contact heading.

To disable SMS notifications from sending in Shopify the following two settings must be configured:

1) In the To check out section the Customers can only check out using email should be selected

2) The Shipping Updates checkbox should be Unchecked
