Many eCommerce websites, especially in Asian countries, nowadays use short messaging service (SMS) to notify customers with their order detail, shipment tracking, one time passwords etc. So we thought of contributing generic code and one sample implementation of SMS gateway integration to the OFBiz.

User Stories:

  • As a user/developer, I should be able to configure multiple SMS gateway vendors into the system so that there will not be any dependency on single SMS gateway vendors.
  • As a developer, the implementation process for multiple SMS gateway vendors should be simple and generic.
  • As a user, I should be able to send different types of SMS like order confirmation, new user registrations etc using any of the SMS gateway setup in the system.
  • As a user, I should be able to setup the static/dynamic contents for the SMS to be sent.
  • As a user, I should be able to configure different SMS gateways for different stores.

Taking the reference of already implemented email, shipment and payment gateway integration in OFBiz, the database schematic for SMS gateway integration can be designed as follows:


Brief about the data model:

At service level, we will be writing one common generic service to send SMS as like sendEmail in OFBiz. The user/developer will need to write the custom service, specific to the API provider/vendor to prepare vendor specific parameters or data which will be needed for calling SMS APIs.
