Description
WP SMS sends SMS notifications from the WordPress dashboard, connecting the site to more than three hundred messaging gateways such as Twilio, Clickatell, and Infobip, and enabling login and two-step verification via text message. Used on more than ten thousand active sites, it integrates with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, and Elementor Forms to notify customers about orders, inventory, and shipments without leaving the admin area.
Key Features of WP SMS

Sends alerts for new orders, status changes, low stock, and delivery updates. - Login and two-step authentication

Connects the site to SMS carriers and providers in different countries using API credentials. - Bulk campaigns with segmentation

Benefits of WP SMS
- Timely notifications
The message appears on the phone screen without relying on an email inbox. - Fewer abandoned orders
Automated reminders bring shoppers back to purchases interrupted before payment. - More secure dashboard access
A second factor via phone reduces the risk of unauthorized access through a leaked password. - Automated communication workflow
Scheduled and recurring messages eliminate the need to send messages manually for each event.
Who Is WP SMS For?
- Anyone selling through WooCommerce who wants to confirm orders, payments, and shipments directly on the buyer’s phone.
- Clinics, salons, and schools that need to confirm appointment times and reduce no-shows.
- Anyone who maintains a contact list and wants to announce new content or promotions via text message.
How to Download WP SMS
WP SMS is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the package, and activate it. A new SMS menu appears in the dashboard, where you enter the gateway credentials and define which events trigger messages.
Among the communication options in WordPress, WP SMS fills the gap that email leaves: short messages, read within minutes and tied to actual site events. For those who rely on quick confirmation (purchase approved, appointment scheduled, delivery on the way), centralizing the gateway, subscriber list, and messaging rules in the dashboard itself eliminates the need for external tools and keeps the messaging history alongside the content.
