Bring your own Twilio account. The plugin does not sell or provide messaging services. Message costs are billed by Twilio to you — OrderRing adds zero markup.
Twilio and all related logos are trademarks of Twilio Inc. or its affiliates. OrderRing is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Twilio Inc.
A paid OrderRing plugin (voice, WhatsApp, two-way chat, bulk reminders) is sold separately at https://tillpress.com/orderring/. It is a different plugin. This Lite plugin is complete and is never locked.
External services
This plugin connects to Twilio, a third-party SMS/messaging provider, using the Twilio account credentials you configure on the settings screen (or in wp-config.php). Twilio is required for the plugin’s core function: sending and receiving order text messages. The plugin does not resell or provide messaging itself — you contract with Twilio directly and Twilio bills you.
What is sent, and when:
- When you (or the « Ready for Pickup » automation) send an SMS: the plugin calls the Twilio REST API (
https://api.twilio.com) with your Account SID and Auth Token, the destination phone number, your Twilio « from » number, and the message body (which may include the customer’s first name, order number, order total, and tracking number from the merge tags you configure). - When you use « Test connection »: the plugin makes a read-only call to the Twilio API to confirm your credentials are valid.
- When a customer replies (STOP/HELP/START or any inbound text) or Twilio reports delivery status: Twilio calls this site’s webhook URLs. The plugin verifies Twilio’s request signature and stores the message/status in your own database. No customer data is sent out in this direction — it is received from Twilio.
No data is sent to Twilio unless you have entered Twilio credentials and either send a message or receive one. This plugin sends no data to the plugin author or any other third party — there is no license check, telemetry, or phone-home.

FAQ
-
Do I need a Twilio account?
-
Yes. You provide Account SID, Auth Token, and From Number. You pay Twilio directly.
-
Do I need A2P 10DLC?
-
If you text US mobile numbers, carriers require A2P 10DLC (or a verified toll-free number). Register that in the Twilio Console. This plugin does not file it for you.
-
Is there a license key or trial?
-
No. Every feature listed above works without a key, trial, or phone-home to the author.
-
What if I also install OrderRing (the paid plugin)?
-
Lite steps aside so you do not send duplicate SMS. You can deactivate Lite.
-
Can I set credentials in wp-config.php?
-
Yes. Define
ORLT_ACCOUNT_SID,ORLT_AUTH_TOKEN, and/orORLT_FROM_NUMBER(the olderORL_names still work).
