Docs SMS for WooCommerce SMS notifications

SMS notifications

SMS for WooCommerce lets you automatically send SMS notifications for key WooCommerce order events. Customers can be notified whenever an order’s status changes (Pending Payment, Processing, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled, Refunded, Failed, and any custom order statuses registered by other plugins), with the SMS content fully customizable using dynamic placeholders.

The plugin also supports Admin SMS notifications for store-side events such as new orders, backorders, order cancellations, refunds, failed payments, and low/out-of-stock alerts. Built-in placeholders let you include order, customer, and product details in these messages. Store admins can also send a one-off manual SMS to a customer directly from the order screen, and can manage a customer’s SMS opt-in status from the order admin when needed.
