SMS sign-in codes and HikaShop alerts via Corbit

Corbit SMS Gateway lets a Joomla site send authentication, registration and HikaShop order messages through Corbit’s SMS service.

This is an SMS delivery bridge: it passes selected Joomla and HikaShop events to the Corbit SMS gateway, using an API token and sender name.

Joomla already handles user registration, email notifications and multi-factor authentication through its core user and authentication features. It does not, by itself, provide Corbit SMS delivery for those events. HikaShop can handle shop notifications, but sending them through this particular SMS provider requires an integration. A template override can change displayed fields or message presentation; it cannot normally add the gateway connection, delivery rules or authentication flow. According to the listing, Corbit goes beyond core by supplying SMS sign-in codes for site and administrator users, registration messages, HikaShop status notifications, placeholders and country-code restrictions, including Saudi-number conversion.

The likely audience is a Saudi-facing site or team already using Corbit, especially one with HikaShop that needs Arabic or English transactional texts. It may also suit sites that specifically want SMS-based multi-factor authentication. Sites that only need email notices, do not use HikaShop, or have no Corbit account and approved sender name have little reason to install it.

The extension is listed as a free download, but messages consume a paid Corbit balance. The directory shows no reviews and gives no broader track record for Corbit Technology. Before installation, check API failure and retry behaviour, logging, privacy handling, delivery limits, account costs, documentation and upgrade support. The listing does not explain those points.
