REQUIREMENTS
For SMS integration:- cURL enabled- Nexmo Account & Api Key and API Secret (Nexmo charge some cost for SMS delivery).- Google API Key (described in the guide)
NOTES I SHOULD KNOW ?
- Nexmo charge extremely low cost on SMS delivery. You don’t have to include this SMS option, and use this widget only for mobile users, but we recommend to check the prices, since each delivery usually costs less than 1 cent (USD).
- The widget at current stage, can’t be used more than one instance on each page. Altough it shouldn’t bother you, we are working to solve this.
