User Guide for Bagisto SMS Notification

Bagisto SMS Notification is a Laravel extension that allows the store admin to send automated SMS alerts for order updates, account activities, and other key store events.

Keeping customers informed at every stage of their journey is crucial for building trust, and SMS alerts make sure customers notice every important update.

With this module installed, your Bagisto store can instantly notify customers and admins through SMS whenever a customer places an order, creates an account, or completes any other important activity.

• For instance, the store admin can trigger SMS alerts for a wide range of customer and order-related events.
• Additionally, the admin can configure notifications individually for each order status directly from the admin panel.
• Similarly, you can switch every SMS notification type on or off based on your store’s requirements.
• Once you set it up, the module handles SMS delivery automatically for all the selected events.
• Moreover, message templates for each notification type are fully customizable, letting you match your brand’s tone.
• As a result, customers stay updated in real time on order placement, status changes, registration, and other store activities.
• Overall, once you configure the module, it sends SMS alerts automatically without any manual work.
