Regulate Payment Text For Free

An SMS (Short Messaging Service) payment refers to any payment taken using an SMS text message. The business might send a text message to the customer with a link to click through for payment processing.

Here are some sample messages you could use: Template 1: "We wanted to remind you that a balance is still due on the service invoice. Please take care of this payment as soon as possible to avoid late fees." Template 2: "As a friendly reminder, your invoice for the service is coming due soon.

How It Works. Sending and accepting payments by text is straightforward. Customers can text the number assigned to your business by the text payment company. As with all SMS text messages, the message must be 160 characters or less.

Your invoice for [amount] is overdue by [overdue days] days. ... Dear [FIRST NAME], your invoice for [amount] was due [due date]. ... Your invoice was due [due date] and will be passed to debt collections in [number of days] days.

SMS and MMS carrier fees are additional costs charged by wireless carriers. These fees vary per message and number type. For example, some carriers only charge fees for messages sent on toll-free numbers. Others charge for both sent and received messages on short codes.

While SMS text messages are free for users with unlimited texting phone plans, mobile carriers do charge customers who don't have unlimited texting or who send SMS messages outside of covered areas. Most carriers charge the same rate for both SMS and MMS messages.

Paying for a product or service through SMS is often considered more secure than other methods of payment, such as debit or credit cards. This is because financial information is not stored on mobile devices but is instead transferred directly to the bank.
