Frequently Asked Questions
What is text-to-pay?
Text-to-pay gives retailers the ability to send a secure payment link to customers to capture full payment or deposits on invoices, quotes, or work orders. Check out this blog post to learn more.
Is text-to-pay secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe on a PCI-compliant checkout, so card details never pass through your team or sit in a text thread.
Can I customize the checkout experience?
Yes. Add your logo, line items and a personal message to each payment request, and choose which payment options customers see.
Will my customers feel comfortable using checkout links?
Links come from your business number, show your shop name, and open a familiar checkout with Apple Pay, Google Pay and major cards, so paying feels like any other online purchase.
