      Once TapOnIt is added to your Shopify account, you’ll need to confirm your account by confirming your subscription plan.

      Although you are confirming a payment method, there is no charge to use the TapOnIt app in Shopify! This simple process is merely allowing messages to be sent on behalf on Shopify and be charged at a standard rate to your TapOnIt account.

      If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to support@taponit.com.
