How to Send Customers the 'Pay by Text' Option

Once you've set up your bank account to take credit card payments through our processor and you've set up your Custom Texting Number, you can text customers their invoices with the option to pay online. 

If you don't currently use our credit card processor and are interested in learning more, please fill out our Credit Card Payments Interest Form, and a Payments Specialist will reach out to provide additional information.

To send the 'Pay by Text' option to your customers:

  • Click the 'Send Invoice' button in the Action Bar at the top of the page.

  • On the Invoice Details page, you can edit payment options and adjust other settings that impact what your customer will see on the invoice.

Please Note: The pay-by-credit card option and custom SMS will need to be enabled in order to text an invoice.

  • Click 'Next' in the top right corner of the page after adjusting the invoice settings.

  • Select the 'Text' option at the top of the window.  

  • Finally, click 'Send' and your customer's invoice will be sent to them via text!
