## Description

#### Overview

Alpha SMS makes it easy to add SMS-based two-factor authentication and transactional
notifications to your WordPress site. Replace unreliable email-based logins with
one-time passwords, confirm customer phone numbers during registration, and keep
shoppers updated with automated WooCommerce order status messages that are verified
in order notes.

#### Key Features

 * OTP verification for WordPress and WooCommerce registration and login forms.
 * WooCommerce order status notifications for customers and administrators.
 * Bulk SMS campaign tool for WordPress and WooCommerce users or custom phone lists.
 * Message templates that can be tailored directly from the WordPress admin.
 * Built specifically for Bangladeshi mobile operators using the Alpha SMS gateway.

#### How It Works

 1. A user submits a supported form (registration, login, or checkout).
 2. Alpha SMS sends a one-time password (OTP) to the provided Bangladeshi mobile number.
 3. The OTP is validated before the registration, login, or checkout process is completed.
 4. WooCommerce stores can optionally send transactional order notifications to customers
    and administrators.

#### Requirements

 * An active Alpha SMS account and API key from https://sms.net.bd/.
 * WooCommerce 3.0+ for eCommerce-specific features (optional for OTP-only usage).

## Installation

#### From your WordPress dashboard

 1. Visit `Plugins > Add New`.
 2. Search for `Alpha SMS`, then install the plugin.
 3. Activate the plugin from your Plugins page.
 4. Navigate to `Alpha SMS` in the WordPress admin menu and add your API credentials.
 5. Enable OTP flows, WooCommerce notifications, or campaigns as needed.

## FAQ

### Which forms are supported right now?

Alpha SMS currently works with the default WordPress registration form, the WordPress
login form, the WooCommerce registration form, the WooCommerce checkout form, and
the WooCommerce login form.

### Do I need an Alpha SMS account?

Yes. You must have an Alpha SMS account with available credits in order to send 
OTPs and notifications. Enter your API key and token in the plugin settings to connect
your site.

### Does the plugin work without WooCommerce?

Yes. OTP verification for WordPress and WooCommerce registration and login works
independently of WooCommerce. OTP data is stored with WordPress transients, so WooCommerce
sessions are not required. WooCommerce is only needed if you want order notifications
or checkout verification.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.17

 * Save verified registration phone numbers to user profile metadata for OTP login
   reuse.
 * Scope registration nonce checks to form POSTs so user meta sync runs on hook 
   calls.

#### 1.0.13

 * Added a background processor so campaign SMS messages are queued individually
   and sent by scheduled jobs.
 * Aggregated campaign job results into concise admin notices that highlight failed
   numbers and the most recent error.

#### 1.0.11

 * Updated the WooCommerce checkout OTP workflow to clone whichever submit button
   is present instead of relying on the `#place_order` ID so guest checkout themes
   remain compatible.
 * Simplified OTP storage to rely solely on WordPress transients instead of WooCommerce
   sessions.
 * Added a WordPress transient-based OTP fallback for sites without WooCommerce 
   while removing the unused session bootstrapper.
 * Refreshed plugin documentation and guidance in the readme.
 * Added a guest checkout OTP rate limit of four requests per fifteen minutes to
   prevent abuse.
 * Streamlined the checkout JavaScript so the OTP trigger is easier to follow while
   still mirroring the theme’s button styling.

#### 1.0.4

 * Separated messages for order status changes.

#### 1.0.2

 * Order SMS notification fixes.

#### 1.0.1

 * Fixed WooCommerce registration issue.

#### 1.0.0
