What is Talkable?
Talkable is an e-commerce growth platform. Used to empower customers to become brand advocates through an in-app referral program.
Why Talkable + Tapcart?
Through Tapcarts’ new Contact Sharing feature, you can now integrate with referral code-based services like Talkable! Contact Sharing is the process of incentivizing consumers (ie., gift card or discount) to share a referral-based offering via their preferred social platform, or directly with SMS contacts on their device.
