Please I didn’t get you description well can you add a front end screenshot of user profile. Do the plugin create a wallet system apart from the credit system themes like hirebee have??
Please look at the “Wallet & History” screenshot, it’s taken from user profile.
Yes, plugin creates own wallet system… it plays a role of a bridge between not flexible amounts from Premium SMS, and a amounts to pay for goods/listings.
Example:
Your Premium SMS rate is 3$, and to post a listing on you website cost 5$. User will have to send 2 x Premium SMS, 6$ (2 x 3$) will be booked to his wallet, then he will be able to make payment to post a listing, 5$ will be subtracted from his wallet, and as final result 1$ (6$ – 5$ = 1$) will persists in his wallet, this 1$ can be used during the next purchase.
Using described above way, we are able to charge equal amount.
Is sms available in bhutan thanks
Sorry, I don’t know the Bhutan market… the best will be if you ask the question on some local forum, they will know better than I who offers premium sms service in Bhutan.
Hello,
Is this feature available for Lebanon? We have no local forums that discuss this and I would be highly interested in this plugin if the feature is available.
Thank you
Hi,
Doing a quick search I have found 2 potential Premium SMS providers that provide service for Lebanon:
– https://smscoin.com/en/info/pricing-lebanon/
– http://gateway.txtnation.com/coverage/sms/premium/middleeast/Lebanon
Please look closer at their offer, and ask them if they do provide generated lists of SMS codes.
How this plugin working?
How I can setting this sms pay? I must registered on any payment gateway?
Or appthemes provide any payment gateway or i must make registration on 2checkout payment gateway or other payment gateway?
I need use this plugin on Slovak country.
Thanks.
Hi,
To use this payment gateway you will need also account in one of Micropayments providers.
Doing a quick search for Slovakia Premium SMS providers, I found 2 potential services:
– https://mobio.bg/site/en/Slovakia
– https://icepay.com/payment-methods/pay-by-sms/
Please contact with them and ask about option to generate list of SMS codes, you will need to copy&paste this list with codes into plugin configuration, if they do have it, it will work.
Does this work with escrow payments?
Thanks
No, sorry, it does not work with escrow.
thanks for the quick reply
Hi,
i have a few questions:
1. SMS code has to be unique in list?
2. SMS codes are deleted from list after it is used?
3. Any constraints regarding SMS codes? (length, characters…)?
Thanks in advance,
Michal Vanek, http://www.asms.sk
Hi,
re.1. No, its not required, although codes should be unique, otherwise someone that received one code could use it few times.
re.2. Yes, once a user enters a valid code, it is being removed from the list of codes.
re.3. No, from payment gateway side there is no limits, codes can be build from any character, usually it’s a mix of latin letters with digits. I’m not sure how codes looks like for languages that uses other alphabets like Russian and its cyrillic, probably also latin letters are used for codes.

No, sorry, BulkSMS offers different type of SMS service… and quick googling for compatible service for “Trinidad and Tobago” lead me to nowhere :/

Yes, for example with Dotpay, but for this specific provider you can also use Dotpay SMS plugin: https://marketplace.appthemes.com/plugins/payment-gateways/dotpay-sms/
(Tak, na przykład z Dotpay, ale dla tego konkretnego operatora można również użyć wtyczki Dotpay SMS)

Sorry, I don’t know the Spanish market and language, so please review the services from the search results: https://www.google.pl/search?q=premium+sms+espana
In the service description look for an option to generate list of codes, codes that will be send to users as response to their SMS message… or ask question about that option through contact form.
Cześć,podoba mi się twoje rozwiązanie ,natomiast widzę ,że wtyczka długo nie była aktualizowana ,czy będzie działała z najnowszą wersją WordPressa ,czy mógłbym zobaczyć jakąś wersję demo wtyczki ?
Jeszcze dwa pytania czy wtyczka będzie działała pod woocommerce ? i czy nie będzie problemu z integracją tej wtyczki z innym motywem ,a mianowicie chodzi mi o “Flatsome” z envato market .
Hey @Dawid,
Wtyczka przeznaczona jest do integracji motywów od AppThemes z płatnościami poprzez SMS, nie będzie ona działała z sklepem WooCommerce, sorry.
hello, I use the “Classipress” theme, can this work for Naira (NGN). I mean will I be able to accept payment in Naira (NGN) and also get it to my local account.
Hi @Mohammed,
That’s possible, “SMS Premium” gateway is universal, it’s not targeted to any Premium SMS provider, but you have to find one by your own that’s compatible with this gateway, that SMS Service have to provide you a list of SMS codes that will be send by them to people, this list of codes you will have to enter in the plugin configuration page.
Can this be used in South Africa?
Would it work with the latest version of AppThemes?
My plan is to manually top up the wallet balance after receiving cash or other methods,so that the customers can make a payment for the ads. (I do not plan to use SMS (1) it is expensive(2) the phone carriers in my country (Myanmar) might not be giving me the codes) Without using SMS payment, would the wallet balance be deducted when my customers pay for the ads?
can I use it for Bangladeshi Taka?
Bonjour,
