Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about SMS8 – SMS Gateway for WooCommerce, Order Notifications, OTP Login & 2FA via Android

The plugin is free, GPLv2-licensed. You need an SMS8 account to send SMS — that has a free 5-day trial, then $29/month for one device with unlimited SMS. There is no per-message fee.

No. SMS go through your own Android phone via SMS8. No CPaaS account anywhere, no third-party gateway, no per-message billing.

No. P2P SMS from a real mobile number through your own device is exempt from the A2P 10DLC requirements that apply to bulk SMS providers. You still need explicit opt-in for marketing messages (TCPA).

Yes. The plugin uses wc_get_order() and the woocommerce_order_status_{x} hook family, both fully HPOS-compatible, and declares HPOS compatibility on activation. Works on classic CPT storage too.

All seven standard order statuses: Pending payment, Processing (paid), On hold, Completed (shipped), Cancelled, Refunded, Failed. Each has its own enable toggle and message template. Plus an optional admin-alert SMS to the store owner.

{first_name}, {last_name}, {full_name}, {customer_name}, {order_id}, {order_total}, {order_currency}, {order_status}, {tracking_number}, {site_name}, {site_url}, {payment_method}.

Yes. Use the action do_action('sms8_send_sms', $phone, $message) from any plugin, theme, MU-plugin, or wp-cron job. Optional third argument is an array of options like ['device_id' => 11029, 'sim_slot' => 0].

Yes. Drop the shortcode [sms8_otp] on any page. It renders a two-step form: phone, code, verify. On success it fires do_action('sms8_phone_verified', $phone) for membership plugins and custom themes. Works alongside WooCommerce checkout, BuddyPress, WP Members, and most custom registration flows.

Yes. Use SMS8_API::send_otp($phone) and SMS8_API::verify_otp($phone, $code) inside your own wp_authenticate or authenticate hook. The plugin handles delivery, code generation, expiry and per-phone rate limits for you.

The plugin does not include a bulk-SMS UI inside WordPress — that lives in the SMS8 dashboard at app.sms8.io. Use the plugin for transactional and event-driven SMS; use the dashboard for marketing broadcasts.
