PowerfulWP SMS for WooCommerce

PowerfulWP SMS for WooCommerce keeps your customers and team in the loop with instant text messages every time an order changes status. Powered by the PowerfulWP SMS API, it takes just minutes to set up – enter your API credentials, toggle the statuses you care about, and you’re live.

Note: Sending SMS requires prepaid credits purchased through the PowerfulWP Portal. The plugin itself is free; you only pay for the messages you send.

Customer Notifications

Send SMS messages to customers when their order reaches any status – pending, processing, on-hold, completed, cancelled, refunded, failed, or any custom status registered by other plugins.

Admin & Team Notifications

Alert store owners and staff via SMS for key events: new orders, processing, completed, on-hold, cancelled, failed, and refunded. Configure multiple admin phone numbers, each with its own country code.

Manual SMS from the Order Screen

Need to send a one-off message? Open any order and use the Send SMS metabox to compose and dispatch a text directly to the customer.

Rich Placeholder System

Build dynamic templates with 30+ placeholders grouped into clear categories:

• Order – number, total, subtotal, shipping, discount, currency, status, date, item count, product names.
• Customer & Billing – name, first/last name, phone, email, company, full address, city, state, postcode, country.
• Shipping – name, company, full address, city, state, postcode, country.
• Delivery & Payment – shipping method, payment method, transaction ID, tracking number, customer note.
• Store – store name, site URL.

Test SMS Tool

Verify your credentials and delivery before going live. The built-in Test SMS tab lets you send a one-off message with sample placeholder data – nothing is saved.

Modern, User-Friendly Settings

A clean, branded settings page with pill-style navigation tabs, animated toggle switches, WooCommerce status colour indicators, a phone-mockup chat-bubble SMS preview, collapsible placeholder panels, and toast notifications.

Third-Party Service: PowerfulWP SMS API

This plugin relies on the PowerfulWP SMS API, a paid service, to deliver text messages. You must purchase SMS credits through the PowerfulWP Portal before messages can be sent. When an SMS is triggered, the plugin sends a request to the API with the recipient phone number, sender ID, and message body.
