Frequently Asked Questions

What is prior express written consent under TCPA?+

Prior express written consent means the consumer has agreed in writing (including electronic form) to receive marketing texts. The consent must clearly disclose that the consumer is agreeing to receive automated marketing messages, include the sender's identity, and state that consent is not a condition of purchase. A pre-checked checkbox does not constitute valid consent.

Is double opt-in required for SMS marketing?+

Double opt-in is not legally required by TCPA, but it is strongly recommended by CTIA and most SMS marketing platforms. Double opt-in sends a confirmation message asking the subscriber to reply YES to verify their consent. This provides stronger proof of consent in case of legal disputes and reduces the risk of complaints from people who did not intend to subscribe.

Can I collect SMS consent at checkout?+

Yes, you can collect SMS consent at checkout, but it must be a separate, clearly identified consent — not buried in the general terms of purchase. The opt-in checkbox must not be pre-checked, the disclosure language must be near the checkbox, and it must clearly state that consent is not required to complete the purchase. Many businesses use a separate opt-in step during the checkout flow.
