WooCoommerce does not have phone verification by default so people can just input random phone numbers and business owners can’t verify if an order is legitimate or not. This plugin also adds SMS order notifications to admin and customers whenever someone places an order. This is useful for notifying customers for the status of your shipping, or simply just giving thank you messages. SMS order notifications are tied to each WooCommerce order status, for example an SMS is sent to a customer when you update the order to completed. Watch the demo [here](https://youtu.be/cVUjDMnsvcY). #### GDPR Need to get consent from users in order to be GDPR compliant? No problem! RingCaptcha now has a GDPR-compliant version of this widget. You can enable the functionality from the plugin settings, under GDPR section. Please refer to the FAQs section for detailed step-by-step instructions. Contact the RingCaptcha team on [their site](https://ringcaptcha.com?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin_marketplace&utm_campaign=woocommerce) to learn more. #### Why should I use this plugin? * I want to minimize bots / fraudulent orders. * I want to ensure customers are legit (especially for Cash on Delivery). * I want a legit phone number tied per order. * I want to receive SMS notifications when someone places an order. * I want to send SMS notifications to customers about their order. #### Functionalities: 1.

For detailed guide of the plugin, please refer to readme.html. ## FAQ ### Where can I get ‘App key’ and ‘Secret key’? Simply signup for [RingCaptcha](https://my.ringcaptcha.com/register) to and create an app to get your keys. For a step-by-step video, please refer [here](https://youtu.be/cVUjDMnsvcY). ### SMS notification is not working. Why? Since the plugin’s SMS notification uses RingCaptcha’s Direct SMS feature, this feature is turned off by default on RingCaptcha’s side to avoid spam and abuse. Also, sending Direct SMS is a premium feature of RingCaptcha but we’re willing to unlock this for WordPress users. Just simply reach out via e-mail (support@ringcaptcha. com) or via Intercom on our site (https://ringcaptcha.com) and we’ll do it for you. ### Can I remove the RingCaptcha logo? Sure! Just reach out via e-mail (support@ringcaptcha.com) or via Intercom on our site (https://ringcaptcha.com) and we’d be more than happy to do it for you. ### Can I only verify users who hasn’t verified before? The plugin currently verifies phone number per each order regardless if the phone number has already verified before or not. This is good in a sense that each order and phone verification is unique on its own, to avoid possible fraud. ### Can I only use verify when mode of payment is CoD? The plugin currently verifies phone number regardless of the mode of payment. This reduces bot attacks / fraudulent orders as well. ### Checkout won’t proceed even after a phone number is verified. Why? 1. From WordPress Admin, navigate to WooCommerce > RingCaptcha. 2. Under ‘Troubleshooting’ section, check ‘Enable Javascript Implementation’. 3. Click ‘Save Changes’. This should apply a Javascript workaround to fix the problem. This problem occurs when your hosting provider cannot execute an HTTP request (probably disabled) to our API to confirm if the phone number has already been verified making it stuck on checkout page. ### How to enable GDPR-compliant phone verification widget? 1. From WordPress Admin, navigate to WooCommerce > RingCaptcha. 2. Under ‘GDPR’ section, click ‘Check if you need to get consent from users for GDPR compliance.’. 3. Click ‘Save Changes’. You can now check your checkout page with an updated GDPR-compliant phone verification widget. ### Where do GDPR consent get stored into? Each GDPR consent get stored into each WooCommerce order via a custom field. You can check each GDPR consent if you navigate to WooCommerce > Orders. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “RingCaptcha – Phone Verification on Checkout & SMS Order Notifications” is open source software.
