Welcome to Cartsaver! This guide will walk you through installing and setting up Cartsaver on your Shopify store. In just 3 minutes, you’ll be ready to verify COD orders and reduce fake orders by up to 95%.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • ✅ An active Shopify store
  • ✅ Admin access to your Shopify store
  • ✅ A business operating in Egypt
  • ✅ Egyptian phone numbers for your customers (Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat, WE)

Step 1: Install Cartsaver from Shopify App Store

1.1 Find the App

  1. Log in to your Shopify Admin Panel
  2. Navigate to Apps in the left sidebar
  3. Click on Shopify App Store at the bottom
  4. Search for “Cartsaver” in the search bar

1.2 Install the App

  1. Click the “Add app” button
  2. Review the permissions requested by Cartsaver

2.1 Welcome Screen

You’ll see a welcome screen introducing Cartsaver’s key features. Click “Get Started” to begin setup.

2.2 Choose Your Verification Channels

| Channel | Best For | Setup Difficulty | |———|———-|——————| | SMS | Highest delivery rates, universal coverage | Easy | | WhatsApp | Cost-effective, rich messaging | Medium | | Email | Backup option, detailed information | Easy |

💡 Tip: We recommend enabling SMS as your primary channel and WhatsApp as a backup for the best delivery rates in Egypt.
