Services

Services are provided to customers through SMPP (and REST) SMS accounts.

A service comprises:

• routing profile: how the customer's messages will be routed and delivered
• pricing plan: what the customer will be charged for the messages they submit

A service is defined in Configuration > Services. When defining a service, enter a name for the service, and select the routing profile and pricing plan for the service.

Enabling "public sign-up" allows the SSG management API to be used to submit customer sign-up requests from a website in to the SSG Admin Portal for manual approval.

After the service is created, an API ID will be assigned to the service. This can then be used in SSG management API requests.

Provisioning configuration for customer sign-ups

Each service can have preconfigured customer account values associated with it to speed-up configuring new customer accounts. The preconfigured values are set in the service configuration and are used with the new account wizards. This can be used to set default account balance and currency, and SMPP parameters.

Margin reject

Use to reject messages that may cause negative margin (i.e. cost is greater than revenue). Requires cost and revenue values to be in same currency. Beta feature.
