FraudLabs Pro SMS Verification acts as a second fraud protection layer by validating customer’s cellphone number right after the fraud validation. This could be useful as it will help you to confirm if the given phone number is valid and owned by the buyer. For example, after the checkout process in WHMCS, the buyer will receive an SMS (Short Message Service) that contains the OTP (One Time Passcode) for verification. Then, the buyer will need to respond by filling in the correct OTP received to successfully authenticate himself/herself. This will certainly lessen your efforts to manually contact them for further verification purpose.
This tutorial will demonstrate how to configure this feature using the FraudLabs Pro plugin. We assumed that you have installed FraudLabs Pro plugin before following this tutorial.
