Alt-team Add-On: Order status SMS notifications

P.S. Alt-Team: You need to fix your wording for “Compatibles” to “Compatibility”. :)



P.P.S. [quote]Compatibles:

[color=#2C2B2B][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The add-on is compatible with CS-Cart Professional 2.0.8 and 2.2.x.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#2C2B2B][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The add-on version for CS-Cart 3.0 will be available by your request.[/quote][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#2C2B2B][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]So it is not currently available for CS-Cart v3.0.x? :([/size][/font][/color]

If you can please confirm it is compatible with multi-vendor 3.03 I'll buy it. Already bought the one for the vendor and can't wait to download it. Quick question, the sms for customers, can it be sent only for certain order status change for example only when orders are changed to complete?



Thx

Hello UniDevelopers!



The add-on “Order status sms notifications” [color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]sends sms to customers notifying them about the order status. It works for CS-Cart Professional and Multi-Vendor. It also works for Ultimate. But! CS-Cart Ultimate supposes several storefronts and our previous policy was one add-on for one storefront. So, if you have 4 storefronts within your Cs-Cart Ultimate you needed to buy 4 add-ons. [/font][/color]



[color=#282828][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif]Now as CS-Cart Professional and Community are discontinued and only CS-Cart Ultimate will be supported by CS-Cart. We've decided to sell a separate licence for our add-ons for Ultimate. Currently we are deciding about the prices. Prices will look like as follows: price for “Order status sms notifications” add-on for CS-cart Pro = $59, for Ultimate = 159 and you can use it on as many storefronts as you have within one Cs-cart Ultimate. All prices will be soon posted on our website alt-team.com on product details pages.[/font][/color]

Thank you for your prompt response!



Thank you for updating your website. We'll wait and review the changes.



Cheers!



P.s. I'm not sure why people have been complaining about the cost of bulk SMS messaging prices in your 3 topics (and totally agree with the $40 for custom SMS API), as you are receiving more than just the API, but the communicator and other software pacakges which allow you to use SMS for all communication with customers, and who doesn't own a mobile phone these days!

Keep up the great work!

Hello Belzibot!



“Order status sms notifications” add-on is compatible with CS-Cart Multi-Vendor 3.0.3. But only administrator (not vendors) can write sms text for a certain order status. Both vendors and administrator can click “send sms” to trigger sms sending on order details page.

Hello everyone!



We would like to let you know that we have added a new option to the Order status sms notifications add-on.



We've added “Receive notifications about the status of this order by sms” checkbox in the storefront at checkout before placing an order. This will allow both registered and unregistered customers to choose whether to receive sms or not.



Everybody who has purchased the add-on and needs this option, please contact us, we'll provide you with it.



Also, we have added screenshots in the add-on documentation to make the add-on more clear to understand.



You can view all the information about the add-on here.

It would be very useful if this addon would send sms notifications about the shipping status of the parcel. For example by combining it with UPS, Fedex, etc.

Similar to:

http://www.textrack.com



This increases the delivery effectivity, as customers know when they need to be present to receive the parcel.

This is especially important for COD shipments.

Dear P-Pharma!



Yes, it sounds great, we will take it into consideration. But it is not an easy task to implement, probably we will take it as an idea for a separate add-on. Thank you for the idea!

Nice. I look forward to seeing such addon from you.

Hello!



We are glad to let you know that our Order status sms notification add-on is now compatible with CS-Cart 4.0.x!



This add-on allows admin to send sms notifications to customers with the information about the status of their order (received, processed, products sent, shipped, etc).



All information about this add-on is available here.



All questions are welcome!



Best regards, Alt-team

  1. Is this addon compatible with 4.2 and 4.3?
  2. As many people have a smartphone, can the sms include the tracking link?
  3. Which SMS service would you advise for Europe / Netherlands?

Hey, P-Pharma, we are also have such addon, which is compatible with 4.2 and 4.3, it can send shipment info when you create shipment (no need to change order status). Now it works with Ukrainian SMS gateway service "TurboSMS", but we can easily integrate any other gateway service you prefer for additional $10.

Please let me know SMS service you prefer to use?

I am not sure yet what SMS service is the best for our store. We are located in the Netherlands and ship mainly to Europe, but worldwide as well.

We have integrated CM Telecom which is very good for Europe countries. Netherlands pricing available on this page. While we were testing this integration we've noticed that messages arrived almost instantly (We tested it for Ukraine).
