A faster, simpler way for businesses to request and receive payments via text message
(PRUnderground) March 25th, 2026
Charge One today announced the launch of its new Text-to-Pay feature within the payment platform. This new capability enables businesses to securely request and receive payments via SMS, providing a faster and more convenient way for merchants to get paid.
With Text-to-Pay, merchants can send a secure payment link directly to a customer’s mobile phone. Customers can complete their payment instantly using a credit card, debit card, or digital wallet—without the need to download an app or log into a separate portal.
“Text messaging remains one of the most direct and effective communication tools,” said Alex Hemmat, Executive Board Member at Charge 1. “With Text-to-Pay integrated into Charge1, merchants now have a simple and secure way to speed up collections while enhancing the customer experience.”
How It Works
The Charge1 Text-to-Pay feature allows merchants to:
- Send secure payment links via SMS within seconds
- Accept credit, debit, and digital wallet payments
- Receive real-time payment notifications
- Simplify billing and improve cash flow
This feature is ideal for a wide range of industries, including service providers, medical offices, property management companies, contractors, and professional services—especially those that rely on invoicing or remote payments.
Security & Compliance
All transactions processed through Text-to-Pay utilize secure, encrypted payment channels and support tokenization to protect sensitive cardholder data. This helps businesses reduce PCI scope while maintaining high security standards.
Faster, More Convenient Payments
By reaching customers on their mobile devices, Text-to-Pay helps reduce payment delays, lower outstanding receivables, and create a smoother billing experience overall.
The Text-to-Pay feature is now available to all Charge1 merchants.
