The plugin sends an automatic SMS notification every time the order status changes.
Choose the statuses for which you want to enable the notifications and to whom you want to send the text messages: shop administrator and/or user.
Thanks to the full integration with YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status, you can send SMS notifications also for all the custom order statuses you have created.
As previously mentioned, the SMS related to a specific order status can be sent or not both to the administrator and to the user who owns the order.
Concerning the user, the plugin allows choosing from two options:
The plugin uses 2 services to optimize the use of the characters in the message when it includes a link. You can either choose to use Bitly or TinyUrl.
By enabling Bitly, any address included in the message body will be turned into a shorter link that will still lead to the same address.
1- register a free account on https://bitly.com/ website
2- once logged in click in the top-right button
3- click on “Profile Settings”
4- click on “Generic Access token”
5- insert your password and click on generate token.
6- in the popup that will appear click on “Copy” button and insert it in the relative plugin field

The Charsets option allows you to send an SMS text by using special Unicode (https://www.utf8-chartable.de/) characters. The plugin currently supports the following sets:
Note: by using special characters, the SMS length will reduce to 70 characters.
By enabling SMS length, you can extend the single SMS length (default is 160).
You can edit the content of all the messages that the users will receive when an order status changes in the “SMS Settings” section of the plugin settings dashboard.
To recover dynamically the information related to the user and to the order, you can use, in the content of the message, one of the following placeholders:
1 – Register an account on https://codeagency.be/
2 – Retrieve the username and password from the page https://sms.codeagency.be/index.php?pag=smsgatewayapi and put them in the relative fields of the plugin options.
