How it works. Comment for a code. Shop in one tap.

  1. They comment for the code

    Post a product and ask people to comment a word like SOCKS for money off.

  2. The code arrives by DM

    Alto sends it in a message with a button that opens your shop.

  3. Their email goes to Klaviyo

    Ask before the code goes out, and new subscribers join your Klaviyo list.

  4. Posts and ads alike

    Point it at your ads as well as your posts, so ad comments turn into shoppers.

Every message, ready to copy. Pick a tone. Swap the brackets for yours.
