## About the product

eSMS Africa is a business communications and messaging infrastructure platform for enterprises, developers, aggregators, and digital products that need reliable delivery across African mobile networks.

Key capabilities include:
- **SMS messaging (bulk and transactional)** via a developer-first **HTTP REST API**, with **custom sender IDs**, delivery receipts, delivery-status querying, and **signed webhooks** for delivery events.
- **SMPP connectivity (SMPP 3.4)** for higher-volume use cases, with **TLS 1.3**, **automatic failover**, **least-cost routing**, and stated throughput of **up to 5,000 transactions per second per bind**, plus DLR pass-through.
- **OTP and 2FA (eSMS Verify)** for one-time codes and verification flows, including **rate limiting** and **fraud protection**, plus branded senders and templates.
- **Email, links, and support** tools including **transactional and campaign email** (API and SMTP, templates, segmentation, SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration), **branded short links and QR codes** with click analytics (country, device, UTM tools, API), and a **website chat widget** with AI responses, ticketing, and human handoff.

Available via **Web**, **APIs** (REST and SMPP), and a **desktop app** (eSMS Workspace) for **macOS, Windows, and Linux**.

Target users include **African enterprises**, **SaaS platforms**, **fintech and e-commerce products sending OTPs and alerts**, **marketing teams running campaigns**, and **developers** needing SDKs for **Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go**, plus a **sandbox** with simulated delivery events and webhooks.
