Acquired and grow your market

Using a WooCommerce SMs Plugin has a lot more added benefits, such as increasing the number of your loyal customers, ergo, increasing your sales. On this day, where people are always in a hurry, a short and straightforward notification of their online order status is highly ideal. Constant notifications of the order’s status, forward and shipping, the date of delivery, and so on will reduce customer’s perceived waiting time. This will likely make them patronize and recommend your store more. One more obvious advantage of using an SMS service in your business is its independence from the internet. This means that even for places with limited to no internet service, customers are assured of getting a notification at any time.

Perfect for all business type

As you can see, you can never go wrong in using an SMS plugin. The competition in the eCommerce business is growing more than ever. It is becoming more difficult to stay ahead of the competition while at the same time minimizing the cost. All this can be achieved by integrating an SMS plugin that will notify users of their orders and everything else they need to know. Even eCommerce giants such as Amazon and eBay use this more traditional form of communicating with customers worldwide. No matter how big or small an online business is, the priority is always to make a profit and increase returns. It’s time to invest in something that will make your business grow at a steady pace.

Pre-Purchase Checklist

Since Twilio API is a paid service, we suggest you make sure it will work for you before you purchase the plugin. Here’s how to do it:

1. Sign up for Twilio’s Free Trial.
   Yes you can! They give a few dollars worth of credit to all trial accounts, and you can use your credit to make sure it works in your country or target market. You can choose an SMS enabled Twilio number for a start. Be mindful of the fact that trial accounts have extra restrictions, for example, you may not have a local number available in your country for yourself (but you can send global SMS anyway), you will need to verify every number you send an SMS to beforehand and the message will be prefixed with a statement saying it’s a Twilio trial account. Of course, these restrictions will be lifted when you have a paid subscription and do not apply to the excellent dev tools you can use to send SMS or access message history for debugging or testing.
2. Install WP Twilio Core.
   WP Twilio core is a simple plugin to add SMS capability to your WordPress website using the Twilio API. It’s available for free from WordPress.org. We have created this plugin so developers like us can extend it and integrate Twilio with a WordPress website of any niche/type. What it will allow you to do at this point is to send messages directly from your admin panel to any permissible (verified for trial accounts, remember?) number. The Event Espresso SMS Reminder plugin also depends on this plugin, so best to familiarise yourself with it before you make your purchase.
3. Read the Twilio SMS FAQs.
   This is another important point, especially if the above steps aren’t working for you. If you are already sending messages to your verified mobile numbers but somehow not having them delivered to you, then you may find your answer on Twilio’s SMS FAQs. Make sure your target country/market and all their network providers are supported. They have pretty much made it clear who CANNOT receive a message. In India for instance, any number on the “National Do Not Call Registry” will not receive SMS via Twilio.

Requirements

There are a couple of requirements in order to use the Event Espresso SMS Reminder extension:

1. You must have a verified Twilio account (free trial or paid subscription).
2. You must have the WP Twilio Core WordPress plugin (free) installed (1.2.0+).
3. You must be using woocommerce on your website .
4. You must have created a Mobile Number question (text field) and made sure it appears on the registration forms.
