# How to enable SMS Verification based on FraudLabs Pro Result for WooCommerce

You can use FraudLabs Pro SMS Verification to automatically validate the buyer's cellphone number if the order was flagged for review after the checkout process. In order to authenticate a buyer's cellphone number, FraudLabs Pro will email the buyer with the page URL to complete the SMS Verification. On that page, the buyer will be required to enter a valid phone number and request for an **SMS (Short Message Service)** that contains the **OTP (One Time Passcode)**to be sent. 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.
