It’s official: Octane AI is joining The Shopify Plus Certified Partner App program!

Octane AI’s inclusion in Shopify’s premiere partner program is a recognition that we have become the most trusted Facebook Messenger and SMS marketing automation platform for Shopify Plus brands.

We’re thrilled to be included in the Shopify Plus program as the only Facebook Messenger platform and the only app that offers both Messenger and SMS conversational automation. We're joining other leading platforms, such as Klaviyo, Justuno, Privy, Yotpo, Gorgias, and many others to continue helping top ecommerce businesses grow and scale their businesses. 

We’d like to take the opportunity to explain why the Shopify Plus Certified App Program is important, how Octane AI was selected, and our vision for the company moving forward.

What is the Shopify Plus Certified App Program?

The Shopify Plus Certified App Program is a very selective and curated list of the top-performing apps in the Shopify ecosystem. Out of the 4,437 apps in the Shopify App store, only 31 have been selected to be Plus Certified App partners. This hand-selected list ensures Shopify Plus merchants can simply find and connect with trustworthy apps that have a history of high performance, positive support, and good ratings. 

The Shopify Plus Certified App list is a way to support merchants that are looking for solutions to continue scaling their business, and it bridges the gap between trustworthy products and enterprise clients looking for the best apps that will evolve with their business. 

What Octane AI Does for Shopify Plus brands

Our product suite supports the needs of Shopify Plus brands with in-depth analytics, full customization for visible on-site features, and the ability to execute complex marketing personalization to deepen customer relationships and increase revenue. Our products are also integrated with top Shopify apps including Klaviyo, ReCharge, Re:amaze, Justuno, Privy, Gorgias, and more. 

Here’s what Octane AI provides for Shopify Plus stores:

Targeted Facebook Messenger & SMS Messages and Campaigns. Similar to email marketing, merchants can create and build Facebook Messenger and SMS campaigns and flows. Merchants can turn on pre-built, revenue-generating automated messages, such as cart abandonment and browse abandonment, and create and build advanced flows all in one dashboard. 

Grow your marketing list. Merchants can increase their marketing opt-ins with pop-ups, checkboxes, and onsite chat that are designed to convert. Each opt-in tool has advanced customization options made for Shopify Plus merchants. Opt-ins can also be tested with A/B testing down to the design, device, timing, or placement. 

Ensure a positive ROAS. Merchants can create Facebook Click-to-Messenger ads and Sponsored Messages that increase their return on ad spend (ROAS) and automatically opt in customers for Facebook messages.

“It’s rare to find people in the tech space who are knowledgeable, personable, and passionate. Matt and the Octane AI team are constantly surprising us with their attention to detail and dedication to our brand. It has been truly inspiring working with the Octane AI team and we’re excited for our future with them,”       - Alex Tenney, Digital Marketing Specialist at Skinny Mixes.
