Digits Additional SMS Gateways

Digits Additional SMS Gateways - SMS Integration Extension for WordPress

Digits Additional SMS Gateways is an extension designed to increase the flexibility of phone verification and OTP sending processes on WordPress-based websites. The plugin allows integration of multiple additional SMS providers beyond the standard gateways, resulting in improved message deliverability, the ability to choose lower-cost carriers, and the implementation of fallback mechanisms.

Key functionalities

• Support for multiple SMS providers: for example, Twilio, Nexmo/Vonage, Plivo, MSG91, Clickatell, Textlocal, Africa's Talking, Infobip and others - each can be added and configured individually.
• Failover and queuing mechanisms: automatic switching between gateways in the event of unavailability or high error rates.
• Gateway mapping to countries and number prefixes: choose the most cost-effective or reliable operator depending on your destination.
• Personalization of SMS templates and languages: dynamic content, variables, text localization, and the ability to create multiple message versions.
• Test shipping environment and diagnostic tools: connection tests, API response preview, shipping logs, and deliverability statistics.
• Digits compatible and compatible with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, multisite and popular login themes and plugins.
• Limit control and abuse protection: sending limits, throttling, blocks when thresholds are exceeded.

Advantages of implementing Digits Additional SMS Gateways

The plugin increases the reliability of phone number-based login and registration processes, resulting in higher conversion rates and lower abandonment rates. The ability to select a local carrier for specific countries reduces SMS sending costs and improves delivery times. Additional gateways create a layer of redundancy—if one service experiences issues, the system automatically switches delivery, reducing downtime in user verification.

Example applications

• Online stores using SMS OTP for quick registration and payment confirmations.
• High-traffic websites requiring a scalable and fault-tolerant SMS infrastructure.
• Social media apps and subscription platforms where phone number verification is a security feature.
• Sites directing international traffic that require local gateways in different regions of the world.

Technical and business benefits

• Improved deliverability – the ability to use providers with better ratings in a given country.
• Cost optimization – automatic selection of the cheaper gateway according to business rules.
• Increased security of the login process thanks to extensive limiting and bot protection mechanisms.
• Scalability – support for large numbers of parallel requests and intelligent message queuing.
• Configuration flexibility – tailoring sending rules to business specifics and legal requirements (e.g. local requirements regarding SMS content).

Digits Additional SMS Gateways integrates directly with your existing Digits installation, extending it with new configuration and provider selection options. This simplifies the deployment of additional gateways and simplifies the administration of sending rules.

How to get started

Once installed, the plugin allows you to define multiple SMS profiles, assign them to regions, and set priorities. Connection tests and log viewing allow for quick configuration verification before production launch. In international scenarios, it is recommended to configure at least two providers per region to ensure redundancy.

Digits Additional SMS Gateways is a solution for website administrators and developers who require a flexible, scalable, and reliable SMS sending strategy in a WordPress environment. With an extensive list of integrations and fallback mechanisms, the plugin allows for cost optimization and improved user experience during registration and login processes.
