(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nDoorDash expanded its shopping assistant via text messaging (Text DoorDash) to help customers browse and order without app friction, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if your ecommerce platform has more than three steps to checkout, you are losing money to friction. DoorDash proved that a text-based alternate path converts because it does not feel transactional. Build a simple text-to-checkout option: customer texts a product name, you text back the link and price, they tap and pay. The step count is two instead of six. Run this on Twilio or a platform like Conversica. Track conversion rate on the text path versus app. Most brands will see the text path outconvert by 15-40% because the friction is invisible.\nWhat that means for you: if your ecommerce platform has more than three steps to checkout, you are losing money to friction.
