1. I know that SMS notifications are under development, but can you confirm if you will be integrating 3rd party gateways such as Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/sms) into Amelia rather than using your own internal sms gateway? I recently purchased Bookly, but they only offer their own gateway at absolutely extortionate and outrageous rates per message, hence me looking for alternatives!!
1. Yes, we will be integrating 3rd party service (probably Twilio) but through our API. The prices of SMS will be increased by 20% - 30% from prices of the 3rd party service.
2. Probably it will work if you are using WooCommerce as a payment gateway. I think for stripe it would need additional coding.
You can try our sandbox site: Front-end & Back-end - you can find a fully functional version there to try out all plugin features.
Thanks for the quick response. Based on your replies I am have purchased your plugin. Please can you give me an approximate date when you expect the SMS functionality to be introduced.
Also, I was wondering if it is possible to modify the "Buffer Time Before: & Buffer Time After: " increments to allow for 15 mins. The current lowest is 30 mins. My company requires a 15 minute buffer. I appreciate this would be need to be added to the code, but if you could at least inform me which files I would need to edit to change them to 15 mins (I am a developer so I am happy to modify the code).

- Unfortunately we cannot yet guarantee a ETA for this feature. The rough plan is to release it some time in November, however this may change. We already started to work on this feature.

- You don't need to modify the code, just to change Default Time Slot Step to 5min, 10min or 15min, but I think you already figured out based on your reply on the other ticket.
Hi,
I have a couple of Pre-Purchase Questions...
1. I know that SMS notifications are under development, but can you confirm if you will be integrating 3rd party gateways such as Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/sms) into Amelia rather than using your own internal sms gateway? I recently purchased Bookly, but they only offer their own gateway at absolutely extortionate and outrageous rates per message, hence me looking for alternatives!!
2. I know that Stripe is available as a payment gateway, can you confirm if Apple Pay will work with Amelia? Both Stripe and WooCommerce have the option enabled at their end? https://stripe.com/apple-pay | https://woocommerce.com/apple-pay/
Thanks.
