As you know VPCart has a feature called Pin Numbers that allows you to have a PIN number sent to your customer at the completion of their purchase.

The current feature only allow you to send the Pin Number via email after a successful purchase.
You may want to also send the Pin Number using SMS to your customer's mobile phone.
We have a work around for you to use a third party app called "ClickSend" that is able to convert the Pin Number email to SMS.
ClickSend needs you to provide allowed email addresses that is able to send email to ClickSend and then ClickSend will convert it into SMS.
Please follow the steps below:

4. In the Email Address field, please enter your VPCart merchant email (the one you used in your VPCart's site config xemail) and then click Save button.
5. If successfully added, you should see the email is listed in the allowed address as below:
In the above example, ClickSend will
be able to read the Pin Number email sent from [email protected] and will convert any emails from this address to SMS.
6. Next,
please open file shoppinnumbers.asp located in your VPCart 9 root and locate the following code (around line 226):
MailPerson toname, rsorder("oemail"), GetConfig("xemailname"), GetConfig("xemail"), subject, Merchant, "No"
dim emailforclicksend
dim strmobilenumber
strmobilenumber = getsess("phone")
if strmobilenumber <> "" then
emailforclicksend = strmobilenumber & "@sms.clicksend.com"
end if
MailPerson toname, emailforclicksend, GetConfig("xemailname"), GetConfig("xemail"), subject, Merchant, "No"
8. Save the file and upload to your site.
9. Open template file tmp_pincustomer.txt
located in "templates/default/" folder and then please empty the entire template file so it has no content inside.
10.
Save the file and upload back to your site.
