Key Features of Twilio SMS Notifications for WooCommerce

The Twilio SMS Notifications for WooCommerce extension offers a robust set of features that transform how you communicate with your customers.

Instant SMS Updates for Customers

SMS is one of the most effective ways to deliver timely updates. The plugin sends automatic messages whenever an order’s status changes, ensuring customers are always in the loop. For instance, when an order moves from “Processing” to “Completed,” the customer will receive a message, which you can customize to include details like a thank you note or even a coupon code to encourage future purchases. This not only enhances customer experience but also drives repeat sales.

Admin Notifications for New Orders

Stay ahead of your store’s performance with SMS alerts sent to your mobile number when a new order is placed. With customizable messages, you can easily include essential order details such as order ID, amount, and customer information. Admins can receive notifications on multiple numbers, making sure that important updates are delivered where they’re needed.

Advanced Customization of SMS Messages

The plugin allows you to create personalized SMS messages for each order status. You can include dynamic variables like the store name, order ID, or status and customize the message text to suit your business tone. Whether it’s welcoming new customers with a warm confirmation message or sending custom updates for unique statuses, you have full control. Furthermore, the option to shorten URLs within the messages using Google’s URL shortener ensures your messages are concise and actionable.

Manual SMS Sending from the Admin Panel

In addition to automated updates, the plugin lets admins manually send SMS messages directly from the order edit screen. Whether you want to notify customers of a delay or provide additional information, the SMS will be sent instantly. The character count feature helps you stay within the 160-character SMS limit, and all messages are tracked within the order notes, giving you complete visibility.

Bookings Integration for Appointment Reminders

For stores using WooCommerce Bookings, this extension offers the ability to send SMS reminders for upcoming appointments.
