WordPress patterns — no plugin ZIP
Search intent for wordpress android sms gateway overview is how WP/WooCommerce talk to an Android SIM gateway.Service pricing is based on device count and total SMS sent through the gateway. We do not ship an official plugin. Call documented HTTPS JSON from server-side PHP. Handbook discipline: WordPress plugin handbook.
A “SMS plugin” that stores the Bearer in a public option and fires from the browser is a gift to attackers. Keep secrets in env or protected server config.
Where REST fits in WP
Hook order status transitions or form actions → enqueue a job → POST to the gateway → store message id → optional webhook updates. Same radio physics as Laravel order alerts.
Events → SMS mapping
| Event | SMS idea | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Order paid | Short confirmation to buyer | Idempotent order id as client_ref |
| Order shipped | Tracking notice | Queue via Action Scheduler / cron |
| Password reset | Prefer email; SMS only if product requires | OTP hygiene — no promo footers |
| Form submit | Staff alert | Rate-limit to stop spam loops |
Secrets and webhooks
Verify webhook signatures if documented. Never log Authorization headers. Priced by devices and SMS send volume. You use your own phone and operator SMS credit. Samples context: PHP code samples.
