Powered by the [PowerfulWP SMS API](https://api.powerfulwp.com/portal/), it takes just minutes to set up – enter your API credentials, toggle the statuses you care about, and you’re live. **Note:** Sending SMS requires prepaid credits purchased through the [PowerfulWP Portal](https://api.powerfulwp.com/portal/). The plugin itself is free; you only pay for the messages you send. #### Customer Notifications Send SMS messages to customers when their order reaches any status – pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed, or **any custom status** registered by other plugins. #### Admin & Team Notifications Alert store owners and staff via SMS for key events: new orders, processing, completed, on-hold, cancelled, failed, and refunded. Configure multiple admin phone numbers, each with its own country code. #### Manual SMS from the Order Screen Need to send a one-off message? Open any order and use the **Send SMS** metabox to compose and dispatch a text directly to the customer. #### Rich Placeholder System Build dynamic templates with 30+ placeholders grouped into clear categories: * **Order** – number, total, subtotal, shipping, discount, currency, status, date, item count, product names. * **Customer & Billing** – name, first/last name, phone, email, company, full address, city, state, postcode, country. * **Shipping** – name, company, full address, city, state, postcode, country. * **Delivery & Payment** – shipping method, payment method, transaction ID, tracking number, customer note. * **Store** – store name, site URL. #### Test SMS Tool Verify your credentials and delivery before going live. The built-in Test SMS tab lets you send a one-off message with sample placeholder data – nothing is saved. #### Modern, User-Friendly Settings A clean, branded settings page with pill-style navigation tabs, animated toggle switches, WooCommerce status colour indicators, a phone-mockup chat-bubble SMS preview, collapsible placeholder panels, and toast notifications. #### Built for Compatibility * **HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)** – fully declared and tested. * **Cart & Checkout Blocks** – declared compatible. * **WooCommerce 8.0+** – tested up to 9.5. * **PHP 7.4+** – graceful admin notice on older versions. * **Custom order statuses** – automatically detected and supported. #### How It Works 1. Sign up at the [PowerfulWP Portal](https://api.powerfulwp.com/portal/) and purchase SMS credits. 2. Enter your API Key, API Secret, and Sender ID in the plugin settings. 3. Enable the order statuses you want to trigger customer and/or admin SMS. 4. Customise your message templates using placeholders. 5. Orders start sending SMS automatically – no cron setup required. #### Third-Party Service: PowerfulWP SMS API This plugin relies on the **PowerfulWP SMS API**, a paid service, to deliver text messages. You must purchase SMS credits through the PowerfulWP Portal before messages can be sent. When an SMS is triggered, the plugin sends a request to the API with the recipient phone number, sender ID, and message body. * **Service provider:** PowerfulWP * **Plugin page:** [https://powerfulwp.com/powerfulwp-sms-for-woocommerce/](https://powerfulwp.com/powerfulwp-sms-for-woocommerce/) * **Portal & account management:** [https://api.powerfulwp.com/portal/](https://api.powerfulwp.com/portal/) * **Terms of Service:** [https://powerfulwp.com/terms-conditions/](https://powerfulwp.com/terms-conditions/) * **Privacy Policy:** [https://powerfulwp.com/privacy-policy/](https://powerfulwp.com/privacy-policy/) Data transmitted includes the recipient phone number, sender ID, and message content. No personal data is stored on external servers beyond what is required to deliver the SMS.

Yes. Any custom order status registered through WooCommerce (by other plugins or custom code) is automatically detected and available for customer SMS templates. ### Can I send SMS to multiple admin phone numbers? Yes. On the Admin tab you can add multiple phone numbers, each with its own country code. All configured numbers receive the admin SMS when an event fires. ### Is the plugin compatible with HPOS? Yes.

You only pay for the messages you send – there are no subscriptions or monthly fees. ### Is there a message length limit? The plugin warns you when a message exceeds the maximum SMS segment limit and prevents sending oversized messages to avoid unexpected credit usage. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d685ef4502aeaf07c6e992fe9fc72e9463bec63f505dbd381e566edf387c394d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Really useful plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-useful-plugin-162/)󠁿 [xtormstyle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xtormstyle/) May 3, 2026 Super easy to set up and works smoothly with WooCommerce.
