Can I use SMS for cart recovery with Growth Suite?

Running an online store has been a rollercoaster, and cart abandonment is my biggest headache. I'm seeing decent traffic from my Meta ads, but too many potential customers are adding products to their cart and then... vanishing. I've tried email follow-ups, but the open rates are disappointing. My team keeps suggesting SMS, but I'm not sure how to implement it effectively without feeling intrusive. I need a solution that feels personalized, respects the customer's journey, and actually drives them back to complete their purchase. The challenge isn't just about sending a reminder; it's about sending the right message at the right time that makes the customer feel valued, not pressured. I want something that integrates seamlessly with my Shopify workflow and doesn't require me to become a messaging expert overnight.
