There are over 4 billion accounts across multiple messaging platforms — all important to gain global reach. Each have their own API and capabilities. Smooch is designed to make it easy for software makers to tap into these channels, and deliver modern customer experiences in their software.

  • Multi-channel messaging your way

    Build and manage every aspect of customer conversations on web, mobile, SMS or in social messaging apps. Save the heavy lifting but keep full control with powerful API modules to implement any conversational use case. Benefit from rich message types, channel abstractions, regular feature updates and delivery issues handled for you.

  • Simplify messaging development

    You don’t need to become a messaging expert to enable your product with the newest channel that your customers demand. With one unified API, you’ll gain access to the richest features across the broadest set of channels. You’ll be ready to immediately support new channels like Messenger or Viber, sell products in conversations using Stripe, and more.

  • Reliable, scalable and secure

    Our cloud-based infrastructure protects you from unreliable, unpredictably changing messaging platform APIs and keeps you up, even when others are down. Every message is sent through a secure connection and stored according to strict security and compliance policies.

  • Deliver to all channels with a single API

    Integrate the channels your customers are asking for, Messenger, WeChat, Viber and more, with a single API. Deliver the most engaging experiences on these channels using quick replies, structured messages, carousels, images, and buttons, with your message displayed in the best possible way for each. Expand your offering when new channels are released with no changes to your code.

  • Native messaging SDKs for iOS, Android and Web

    Use our fully customizable SDKs for iOS, Android and Web to enable full-featured messaging within your software or website in minutes.
