- Log in to your Bind SMS Gateway console and find (or generate) your API Key under its API / developer credentials section.
- In your WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce → SMS Settings → SMS Gateway and select Bind SMS Gateway from the provider dropdown.
- Paste the API Key into the API Key field.
- Enter your approved Sender Name (the name shown on the customer’s handset) in the Sender Name field.
- Click Save changes.
Bind SMS Gateway does not publish a single, verifiable public dashboard URL that we can link to with confidence, so the steps above describe the general flow rather than exact screen names. Consult Bind SMS Gateway’s own dashboard documentation, or your account manager, for the precise location of your API key and sender settings.
Coverage and sender ID requirements
We could not confidently verify Bind SMS Gateway’s primary service region from public information — confirm directly with Bind SMS Gateway which countries it covers before relying on it for your target destinations. Sender Names (the name or number shown on the recipient’s phone) are typically alphanumeric and limited to 11 characters with no spaces, and many countries require sender-ID pre-registration — check Bind SMS Gateway’s requirements for your target countries before going live.
Test your connection
- In WooCommerce → SMS Settings, click Send Test SMS to confirm Bind SMS Gateway delivers a message to your own phone.
- If the test fails, check the delivery log in your Bind SMS Gateway console for the specific error before troubleshooting further.
Troubleshooting
- Messages aren’t delivered: the Sender Name is unverified, unapproved, or not registered for the destination country.
- Authentication error: the API Key was copied with extra whitespace, or has been rotated in the Bind SMS Gateway console since it was last saved here.
- Send blocked or fails silently: the Bind SMS Gateway account balance is too low.
- Invalid recipient: the destination number is missing its country code — use full E.164 format (e.g. +14155552671).
