InstSMS SMS Gateway
InstSMS SMS Gateway connects a WooCommerce store to the InstSMS messaging service.
Store managers can:
- Send customer SMS notifications for selected order status changes.
- Send customer-visible order notes by SMS.
- Alert one or more store administrators when an order starts processing.
- Customize messages with order placeholders.
- Test the configured InstSMS account connection.
- Review safe operational events in WooCommerce logs.
Nothing is sent until an administrator enters InstSMS credentials, chooses notification events, and enables SMS notifications.
External service
This plugin connects to the InstSMS service at https://api.inst.lk/sms only after an authorized administrator configures and enables it.
For enabled events, the plugin sends the information required to deliver the SMS:
- InstSMS User ID and API key for authentication.
- Configured sender ID.
- Recipient mobile number.
- Rendered SMS message, which may contain order information selected by the store administrator.
The service is provided by Inst Technologies (Pvt) Ltd.

Privacy
When SMS notifications are enabled, order-related information chosen in message templates and recipient phone numbers are sent to InstSMS for message processing. Store owners should describe this processing in their privacy notice and use SMS only where they have an appropriate lawful basis or recipient permission.
The plugin does not add public-facing credits, tracking, analytics, or advertising.
