Yes — you can set “multiple SMS to COD To Prepaid customers with different SMS templates at different time intervals”.
5. Does this integration send admin notifications as well as customer notifications?
No — the article focuses on sending SMS to the customer when they place a COD order, prompting conversion to prepaid. It doesn’t mention automatic admin notifications for this trigger.
6. What should I check if the SMS isn’t being sent?
Troubleshooting steps:
– Ensure the SMS Alert plugin is properly configured (gateway credentials, sender ID, SMS credit).
– Check that the COD payment method is being captured correctly by WooCommerce and triggers the plugin’s COD → Prepaid flow.
– Confirm the SMS template for the COD → prepaid event is enabled and saved.
– Verify the mobile number captured for the customer is correct and in a valid format.
– Ensure the time-interval you set for sending after the order is being honoured (sometimes scheduling issues).
– If operating in India (or other regulated region), make sure your sender ID and templates comply with DLT/telecom regulations.7. Are there any special considerations or limitations?
– This integration is specific to COD orders and the prompt to convert them to prepaid; if you have multiple non-COD payment options you’ll need separate flows.
– Since you can send multiple SMS at different intervals, monitor your SMS usage and cost.
– If the conversion link or process is not properly integrated (customer sees SMS but no payment link works), the ROI can be low.
– Ensure compliance with SMS regulations (especially if in India: CTA templates, DLT registration, opt-out) to avoid delivery or regulatory issues.
– Test end-to-end: COD order placed → SMS sent at correct time → customer receives and clicks payment link → converts to prepaid.
