Customer communication

Send instant SMS updates for every order

Keep customers and admins informed at every order stage via Twilio or Plivo, from placement to delivery, with customizable messages for each status.

In the Starter plan v1.3.4

What it does

Customers who do not hear from a restaurant after placing an order get anxious and contact support. The SMS Notification extension solves this by sending automatic text messages to both the customer and the admin at every key stage of the order, from confirmation to delivery.

Works with Twilio and Plivo SMS providers. Configure your messages in the admin panel without touching code. Enable admin notifications separately from customer notifications. Supports WordPress multisite. The result is fewer support queries, better-informed customers, and a more professional ordering experience.
