❓ FAQ ❓
🙋 What are my costs?
The integration with Checkify is free. Your subscription fee covers it. However, there may be some costs on Postscript's side.
🙋 Why my customer does not receive an SMS?
It can be explained by deliverability. Postscript actually sends to subscribers located in Australia, Canada, the USA as well in the UK. There are specifics in reaching customers in the UK and Australia, so it is advisable to contact the Postscript team directly for more information.
🙋 Can I test Postscript with buyers from other countries?
Surely, you can. However, according to Postscript's international sending FAQ, the deliverability is not guaranteed "due to the many carriers and the restrictions that they have in place". You may review their site and Help Center for more details.
