SMSTunnel for WooCommerce

Get the SMSTunnel app on Google Play SMSTunnel for WooCommerce extends the SMSTunnel plugin with WooCommerce-specific features. Send SMS notifications to customers when they place an order and when its status changes, and get an SMS for each new order. The texts are sent from your own Android phone and number, so customers see a number they can reply to. You link the phone to your site by QR code in the main SMSTunnel plugin, and you can remove that connection anytime from the SMSTunnel app. End-to-end encryption. Turn it on in the SMSTunnel plugin and these texts are encrypted for your phone before they leave WordPress, so only your phone can read the words. After your phone sends it, a text travels over the mobile network like any other SMS. Requires SMSTunnel Plugin This addon requires the main SMSTunnel plugin to be installed and configured first. Key Features

• One Text at Checkout - The customer gets one text when they place an order, with the classic checkout or the Checkout block: the "Order Processing" text when the order is paid or cash on delivery, or the new order text while it still waits for payment
• Order Status Notifications - Automatically send SMS when an order becomes Processing, Completed, On Hold, Cancelled or Refunded
• Admin Alerts - Get an SMS on your "Admin Phone Number" for each new order
• Shipment Tracking - Text the tracking number when you add one with the Advanced Shipment Tracking plugin
• Custom Messages - Define your own message templates with order placeholders
• Low Stock Alerts - Receive SMS when product stock is running low or out of stock
• WooCommerce Settings Tab - All settings conveniently in WooCommerce > Settings > SMS
• HPOS Compatible - Works with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage

Message Placeholders Use these placeholders in your message templates:

• {order_id} - Order number
• {order_status} - Current order status
• {order_total} - Order total amount
• {customer_name} - Customer's full name
• {customer_first_name} - Customer's first name
• {site_name} - Your website name
• {tracking_number} - Tracking number (Tracking Message only)
• {tracking_provider} - Shipping company (Tracking Message only)

When Texts Are Sent

• New Order (Pending) - once per order, when the customer places it (classic checkout or Checkout block) or an order moves to Pending payment, if the order still waits for payment at the end of that step, for example while the customer pays on another site. An order paid at checkout or with cash on delivery is Processing by then and gets that text instead. An order you create in the admin as Pending payment doesn't get it.
• Notify Admin on New Order - once for each order placed at checkout (classic checkout or Checkout block), when an "Admin Phone Number" is set. It doesn't depend on the customer's texts or on the customer giving a phone number.
• Processing, Completed, On Hold, Cancelled, Refunded - each time an order moves to that status.
• Shipment Tracking - when a tracking number is added with the free Advanced Shipment Tracking plugin, once per tracking number. Other tracking plugins don't tell other plugins when they add a number, so they are not supported. Developers can send it from their own code with do_action( 'woocommerce_shipment_tracking_number_added', $order_id, $tracking_number, $tracking_provider ).

Until you save WooCommerce > Settings > SMS for the first time, the plugin sends what the tab shows: the statuses ticked there and the default texts. Customer texts go to the order's billing phone, so ask for it in international format (+ and the country code) at checkout. Admin Features

1.0.5

• Fixed: Texts went out only after WooCommerce > Settings > SMS had been saved once. Now the plugin sends what the tab shows from the start: the ticked statuses and the default texts.
• Fixed: One text when a customer places an order. With cash on delivery or a payment made at checkout, the Checkout block sent both the "New Order (Pending)" and the "Order Processing" text; now only "Order Processing" goes out. An order that still waits for payment gets the new order text, once.
• Fixed: "New Order (Pending)" and "Notify Admin on New Order" now also work with the classic checkout.
• Fixed: "Notify Admin on New Order" goes out once for each new order, even when the customer's new order text is off or the customer gave no phone number.
• Fixed: "Shipment Tracking" now works with the Advanced Shipment Tracking plugin, once per tracking number. Before, it waited for an action no tracking plugin sends.
• Removed: The "Enable WooCommerce 2FA" checkbox, which did nothing. For sign-in codes on the My Account login, use "WordPress Login 2FA" in the main SMSTunnel plugin.
• Fixed: The "Send SMS" box on the order page has its own request, so it no longer depends on the order in which plugins load.
• Fixed: No empty text is sent when the "Admin New Order Message" or "Tracking Message" is blank.

1.0.4

• Added: The official Google Play badge for the SMSTunnel app, on the WooCommerce > Settings > SMS tab, in the notice shown when the SMSTunnel plugin is missing, and in this plugin's row on the Plugins page.
• Changed: The plugin description now links to the app on Google Play and explains the optional end-to-end encryption.
