The add-on “Order status sms notifications for customers” uses Clickatell sms gateway by default. The same Clickatell gateway is used by CS-Cart (standard “sms notifications” add-on). If Clickatell is not suitable for you, you can ask us to integrate another sms gateway for your comfort, we will do it for extra charge approximately $40.

It will be possible to use Kalcun. You will have to install this software on your server and provide us with its API.



Tracking number is already included.



Providing more replies, we will prepare a product with a description and documentation for sale.

Cs cart sends administrators SMS, Alt team is sending to customers order status updates etc.



John

John, thanks for the expanation for miracles!



To make things clear we again highlight that our add-on is not the same as CS-Cart standard “SMS notifications” add-on. “SMS notifications” add-on allows you to set up administrator sms about order placed, new registered user, product quantity is less than zero, etc. Our add-on allows administrator to send sms to customers about the current order status. This add-on is made for customers' comfort and keeps them up-to-date about the order status.



Best regards, Alt-team

Thanks John and Alt-Team for letting me know correctly… I like this addon…

so how much for this addon?

Hello vidan!



For now the price for this add-on is $69. Please contact us with the request for this add-on, we'll prepare an archive for you. You asked about kalcun. Kalcun integration will be priced additionally, approximately $40, we will be able to say the exact price once you provide us with its API. Also kalcun system must be already installed on your server.



Best regards, Alt-team

I hope you can also create something similar to cs-carts SMS addon, but something that will work with Multi-vendor edition (ability for vendors to receive their order notifications via SMS). I will be the first to purchase :)

yeah right, thats nice idea, can you make one alt? for vendor purpose and notification to vendor

agreed do you have this for the multi vendor version? and is there a way to notify vendors when a order has been placed?

Hello!



buging, vidan and joelreeder, thank you for you posts. “Order status sms notifications” works for CS-Cart Professional and Multi-Vendor and, as you know, it sends sms to customers notifying them about the order status. You suggest to create order sms notifications add-on for Multi-Vendor. It's a different functionality and can be made as a separate add-on if you are really interested in it.



We've created a separate thread for “order sms notifications for Multi-Vendor” discussion [url=“"Order SMS notifications" add-on for Multi-Vendor - Third-Party Add-ons - CS-Cart Community Forums”]"Order SMS notifications" add-on for Multi-Vendor - Third-Party Add-ons - CS-Cart Community Forums Please give your feedback in this thread.

If you’re looking for a very inexpensive addon to allow Administrators the ability to receive “New Order” SMS messages and display this info to customers, look no further. This is a great alternative to the Clickatell paid service and other addons in the market. The service is based on the user’s mobile carrier’s email-to-sms service. Just install, configure your number and carrier then the options!



More options coming soon such as allowing customers to receive sms messages too!

Thanks for viewing,

you should post in new thread nate

I would buy it if it were compatible with SMPP protocol. I hate being tied down to a single service provider :(

Hello luster!



We can try to make it compatible with SMPP protocol within our custom development service (additional charge). But first we need to study API and examine the compatibility. Contact us if you would like to get a quote for this project.

What about the Ultimate edition? i.e. Multiple stores instead of vendors.



The store administrator would have to turn this add-on on, or off (as they currently do for other available add-ons already enabled by top-level administrators).



The code between Multi-Vendor and Ultimate are very very similar. I can see that they've added a few extra sections here and there but most checks are borrowed from the multi-vendor functionality etc (and Cs-Cart “ultimate” edition specified in config PHP file).
