How software platforms win with messaging-based payments

Updated on August 25, 2025

For software companies, the pressure to deliver seamless, user-friendly payment experiences has never been greater. As customer expectations evolve, the demand for faster, frictionless, and more intuitive payment options is reshaping the way platforms approach billing, renewals, and collections. 

Enter messaging-based payments, a transformative approach that reduces complexity, enhances customer satisfaction, and unlocks new revenue opportunities for your platform. At the forefront, is our Text-to-Pay feature, a messaging and payments solution designed to help you simplify payment workflows at scale. 

Why complexity is costing you

Traditional payment methods can create payment lag for both your merchants and their customers. Manual invoicing, portals, and phone-based collections can result in slow cash flow, lower conversion rates, and increased churn. 

If you’re a software provider, this complexity doesn’t just affect your end users, it affects your bottom line. Lost transactions, failed payments, and high support costs eat into margin and limit scalability. 

We’ve solved the hard part: Friction

Our messaging-based payment solution is purpose-built to eliminate friction in common, but often overlooked, billing scenarios, like subscription payments, installment plans, and membership renewals. 

With a single API integration, software companies can empower users to send secure, PCI-compliant payment requests via text, email, or chat apps. No apps, no downloads, no complex redirects, just a clean, app-free payment experience that converts in seconds. 

Key use cases for software platforms

  1. Recurring billing and subscriptions 
    Enable customers to set up automated, recurring payment links through SMS or email, no dedicated billing system required. For software platforms, this reduces support overhead and accelerates revenue recognition for your software users. 
  1. Membership renewals 
    From fitness to professional organizations, sending a secure payment request via SMS allows members to renew instantly, no password resets or failed login attempts. For ISVs serving membership-based industries, this is a plug-and-play revenue booster. 
  1. Batch billing at scale 
    Whether you’re managing hundreds of client accounts or enabling merchants to invoice at volume, our Text-to-Pay solution makes batch billing seamless. Send personalized, secure payment requests to thousands of customers simultaneously, each with a unique, trackable link. This is ideal for merchants looking to reduce manual invoicing, improve collection rates, and simplify high-volume billing operations. 

What’s in it for you?

  1. Increased customer stickiness 
    By embedding modern, frictionless payments into your platform, you provide real, measurable value that keeps customers from looking elsewhere. Faster payments = higher satisfaction. 
  1. Accelerated time-to-revenue 
    Customers get paid faster, and you benefit from increased processing volume and reduced Days Sales Outstanding (DSO).  
  1. Reduced risk and support costs 
    With PCI Level 1 compliance, sensitive payment data never touches your system or your customer’s. That means fewer security concerns and lower cost of compliance for everyone involved. 
  1. Easy integration 
    With support for a wide range of payment gateway integrations and a flexible API, our solution fits into your existing infrastructure. Onboarding is fast, and adoption is seamless for your teams and your customers. 

The smartest way to scale your platform

Offering text-to-pay payments isn’t just a “nice to have”, it’s a strategic differentiator. When you eliminate payment friction, you don’t just improve outcomes for your customers, you create a competitive advantage for your own platform.
