Contact sales@iapshop.com. Someone will contact you to see if you and your distribution platform system is already supported by IAP. If so, it is very easy to get setup and takes between 24 and 48 hours once IAP gets the necessary information from you.
Contact sales@iapshop.com. Once the necessary IAP SMS agreement and NDA have been completed, IAP furnishs you with a Software Development Kit. It is a very simple and straight forward process, and given the large number of SMS companies that have integrated with IAP, it is a very well documented and utilized SDK.
There is a link: http://www.iautoparts.biz/systemcheck_standalone.htm that allows you to check your system.
