SMS Automation Payment Verification

Why SMS Automation Matters

For Bangladeshi e-commerce stores, manual verification of mobile financial services (MFS) payments is one of the biggest conversion bottlenecks. Customers send money and are forced to submit transaction IDs or wait hours for administrative staff to manually check physical SIM records. This slow process leads to high cart abandonment rates and poor user experience.

BDGate SMS Automation solves this by converting physical SMS alerts sent to your merchant or personal wallet phones into web hooks in real-time, instantly matching payments against customer checkout orders.

SMS Received

A customer pays on checkout. Your phone receives a standard bKash/Nagad/Rocket payment notification SMS.

Android Relay

The BDGate Relay app running on your phone parses the sender, transaction ID, and amount instantly.

Instant Match

The app hits our API over a secure connection, matching the details and completing the order in 1 second.

The BDGate Android Relay App

Our custom Android app is designed to reside on the same smartphone containing the MFS SIM card. Once installed, it runs silently in the background, listening exclusively to incoming transaction alerts from official sender headers (e.g. bKash, NAGAD, Rocket).

Key Technical Features

Robust Parsing Engine: Supports personal wallets, merchant numbers, agent cash-in messages, and utility notifications.
Highly Secure: All communications between the Android Relay app and BDGate servers are signed using a unique security_secret and encrypted via TLS.
Retry Queue: If your phone loses internet connection, the app stores incoming notifications locally and retries transmission as soon as connectivity is restored.
Low Battery Consumption: The app sleeps dynamically and only triggers when a new SMS is received.

Onboarding Steps

To set up SMS automation, simply create a BDGate account, navigate to the "Gateways" tab in your Merchant Dashboard, add your MFS number, download the `.apk` client from your dashboard, and link it using the generated setup QR code. You'll be ready to accept automated payments in less than five minutes.
