SMS Notifications

Instant SMS and Telegram Alerts for Your OpenCart Store

The SMS Notifications module keeps your customers and store administrators informed at every step of the order lifecycle. Send automatic SMS messages when orders are placed, when statuses change, when customers register, and when new reviews arrive. Pair that with Telegram group alerts, Viber support, and SMS-based OTP phone verification - all from a single extension that works on OpenCart 2.3 through 3.x.

Key Features

• SMS to admin and customer on new orders, order status changes, registrations, and new reviews
• Telegram group chat alerts for new orders, registrations, and reviews - runs in parallel with SMS, not instead of it
• OTP phone confirmation - a 6-digit SMS code protects standard checkout, Easy Checkout, and registration forms; configurable code TTL, resend throttle, max attempts, and lockout duration
• Viber notifications with automatic SMS fallback when Viber is not available on the recipient's number
• More than 30 pre-integrated SMS gateways - Alphasms, Smsc.ru/ua/kz, Turbosms, Unisender, Eskiz, Smsaero, Rocketsms, and many more
• Per-group and per-payment-method filtering - send SMS only to selected customer groups or payment methods
• Cyrillic-to-Latin transliteration reduces SMS costs (Cyrillic: 70 chars per SMS, Latin: 140 chars per SMS)
• Import and export of all module settings as JSON for easy migration between stores
• Built-in Diagnostics tab verifies events, Telegram bot reachability, OTP configuration, and gateway status
• Developer API - send SMS from any catalog controller with a single sendMessage() call
