About this plugin

This plugin connects to one third-party SMS provider, the one you choose on the settings screen: Twilio (the default), Vonage or Plivo. php ). A provider is required for the plugin’s core function: sending and receiving text messages.

com) — what is sent, and when:
- When you (or the “Ready for Pickup” automation, or a trigger rule) send an SMS: the plugin calls the Twilio REST API ( https://api.twilio.com ) with your Account SID and Auth Token, the destination phone number, your Twilio “from” number, and the message body (which may include the customer’s first name, order number, order total, and tracking number from the merge tags you configure, and for a trigger rule the account, comment or Contact Form 7 field values you put in its message).
- When you use “Test connection”: the plugin makes a read-only call to the Twilio API to confirm your credentials are valid.
- When a customer replies (STOP/HELP/START or any inbound text) or Twilio reports delivery status: Twilio calls this site’s webhook URLs. The plugin verifies Twilio’s request signature and stores the message/status in your own database. No customer data is sent out in this direction — it is received from Twilio.
No data is sent to a provider unless you have selected it, entered its credentials, and either send a message or receive one. Apart from the optional support ticket below, this plugin sends no data to the plugin author or any other third party — there is no license check, telemetry, or phone-home.
Support tickets (only when you send one): the Help & demo page has a support form. com/wp-json/tp/v1/support. Nothing is sent automatically, in the background, or on a schedule, and no passwords, keys, or customer/order data are included.
Service provider: Tillpress (Alex Software Holdings LLC). com/terms/. “Email instead” opens the same ticket in your own email app and sends nothing from the site.
