SMS notifications for your WordPress website
Keep customers updated about their orders and get an instant SMS for every new order and contact-form message, all using the SMS credits in your SMSCY account.
Everything your shop needs to text customers
Install it, connect your SMSCY account and choose which messages to send. No coding needed.
Order status updates
Text customers automatically when their order is processing, completed, cancelled, refunded or any custom status. You write the message for each status.
New-order alerts
Get an SMS the moment a customer places an order, with the total, items and phone number. Add alerts for chosen statuses too, e.g. when an order is paid.
Contact-form alerts
Every contact-form submission arrives on your phone as an SMS, even if your website email is not working. Works with the most popular form plugins.
Uses your SMSCY credits
Messages are sent through your own SMSCY account. Your remaining balance is shown in the plugin settings and on the WordPress dashboard.
Send SMS from WordPress
Text any customer straight from the order screen, or send a message to one or more numbers from the Send SMS page. Order texts are saved as order notes.
Full SMS log
See every message, its recipient, its status and the reply from SMSCY. Search the log and resend a message with one click.
Greek & any language
Greek and other non-Latin text is sent correctly as Unicode, automatically. A live counter shows how many characters and SMS your message uses.
Smart phone numbers
Customers can type their number any way they like. The plugin adds the right country code from the billing address, e.g. 99 123456 becomes +357 99 123456.
Fast checkout
Order messages are sent in the background, so checkout never slows down. Compatible with the WooCommerce block checkout and HPOS.
