Text to pay: send a payment link, get paid from the customer's phone
Text to pay is a way to collect payment by sending the customer a payment link in a text message. With CasperPortal, you send the link from the customer's conversation or contact record, they pay on their phone through your connected payment processor, and the payment is recorded on their contact.

Text To Pay FAQ
Is text-to-pay secure?
Payments are handled by the payment processor you connect, such as Stripe, rather than by text message, so card details are entered on the processor's checkout page.
What does text to pay cost?
You pay your connected payment provider's standard processing fees. Ask on a demo for how fees work with your processor.
What's the difference between text to pay and invoicing?
Text to pay is a quick payment link sent in a conversation. Invoicing is for itemized bills, recurring invoices and partial payments.
Can customers pay without downloading an app?
Yes. The customer opens the link from the text in their phone's browser and pays there.
