Text-To-Pay: Request Payment by SMS

Updated 1 min read

Text-To-Pay lets you request and collect a payment instantly by SMS from inside a conversation — no website needed. It generates a secure checkout link the customer can pay in a few taps, and keeps the payment tied to the contact thread for easy follow-up.

Key benefits

  • Fast collection: send a pay-ready link from any SMS thread.
  • On-brand: the checkout can be customized to match your brand style.
  • Flexible pricing: apply a discount and tax at send time.
  • Due dates: set a due date to encourage timely payment.

Prerequisites

  • An active payment (card) connection in the account.
  • An active LeadConnector phone number in the account.
  • At least one active product.

  3. Click Request Payment (the $ icon) below the text editor.
  4. In the Request payment window: select the product (or item) and confirm the price, add a discount and/or tax, set a due date, and choose Test or Live mode.
  5. Click Preview to review the checkout, or Copy link & Mark as sent.
  6. Click Send. The customer taps the link to pay.
Tip: the checkout page can be customized with your brand colors so the payment experience matches your business.
