How text-to-pay works
Text-to-pay connects your invoicing, your phone number, and your card processor into one tap-to-pay flow.Send the pay link by text
Choose to send the invoice by SMS. Revenue Sol texts a secure payment link to the customer from your connected Twilio or RingCentral number, so the message comes from your business.
Customer pays by card
Your customer opens the link on their phone and pays by card on a secure checkout page powered by Stripe. No app, login, or account is required.
Text-to-pay uses your own Twilio or RingCentral number. Texts are billed at carrier cost with no markup. Card payments are processed through Stripe, so you will need Stripe connected before you can collect.
Why it speeds up collection
Getting paid is usually the slowest part of a service call. Text-to-pay removes the friction:- Paid on-site. Your technician can send the link before leaving the driveway, while the work is fresh and the customer is ready to pay.
- No waiting on checks or callbacks. A tap-to-pay link is far easier than mailing a check or reading a card number over the phone.
- Higher open rates. Texts get read in minutes, so invoices do not sit ignored in an email inbox.
- Automatic reconciliation. Because the payment posts directly to the invoice, there is no manual matching or double entry.
What the customer sees
The customer receives a short text with a link. Tapping it opens a branded, mobile-friendly checkout showing the line items and amount due. They enter their card details once and confirm. They can save the payment confirmation, and you can send a receipt automatically.Text-to-pay works alongside other payment options in Revenue Sol, including emailed payment links, recurring payments, and in-person card collection. Use whichever fits the job.
