Customising your txtConsole portal

All customers can access the unbranded txtConsole at https://custom.txtconsole.com/smpp. However, you can provide your customers with a txtConsole portal that is branded to fit with your organisation.

Customisation includes:

  • Subdomain to represent your business or service (e.g. https://abcsms.txtconsole.com)
  • Login screen:
    • background colour
    • logo
    • title text
  • Dashboard / main screen:
    • logo
    • header and footer text
    • sales and support email addresses
    • welcome text

The portal may be integrated with Stripe for taking card payments.

See the example customised txtConsole portal at https://abcsms.txtconsole.com.

To request customisation of your txtConsole portal for your customers, email [email protected] with your changes in the below spreadsheet. If changing logos, include the logo graphics files (e.g. PNG format). Alternatively, see the Configuration > txtConsole section of the SSG Admin Portal.
