In today’s competitive vertical SaaS landscape, platforms need more than just great features to win and keep customers — they need revenue-generating capabilities that create measurable impact. Pay by SMS is one of the fastest, most effective ways to do just that.
With Pay by SMS, merchants can send secure payment links directly to their customers’ phones via text message. Customers tap the link, review their invoice, and pay instantly — no logins, no apps, no unnecessary steps.
And for SaaS platforms, every fast, seamless payment means more processed volume — and more revenue.
Why Pay by SMS Is a Game-Changer for SaaS Platforms
1. Accelerate Payment Volume
When merchants get paid faster and more often, your platform processes more transactions. More transactions mean more revenue opportunities from payment processing.
2. Differentiate Your Platform
Pay by SMS adds a high-impact, mobile-first payment option that many embedded payment providers don’t offer. It’s an instant value-add for merchants who want to meet their customers where they are — on their phones.
3. Boost Merchant Retention
Merchants stick with solutions that help them get paid faster. Offering Pay by SMS gives them a reason to process payments through your platform instead of exploring alternative payment processors.
4. Simple, Flexible Deployment
Pay by SMS can be enabled quickly through Payabli’s API or embedded directly into your existing invoicing flow for minimal development effort and maximum revenue impact.
How Pay by SMS Works
- Send Payment Link – Merchants generate and send a secure payment link for an invoice via API or your platform’s UI.
- Customer Opt-In – If customers are opted in, they receive the SMS instantly. If not, Payabli automatically sends an email prompting them to enroll.
- Receive & Pay – Customers tap the link, review the invoice, and pay in seconds.
