Datatel Launches TXT 2 Pay to Simplify IVR Credit Card Payments

Datatel Communications Inc. / Datatel Inc. in Canada (May 6, 2015), a leader in IVR Credit Card Payments on the Cloud, recently launched its TXT 2 Pay service to provide an instant, hassle-free way for businesses to collect credit card payments 24/7 from their customers using their mobile phone. Datatel also launched a version specific for charitable organizations.

TXT 2 Pay allows the customers and contributors to initiate a secure Pay-by-Phone payment by texting their information (i.e. name, address, license plate number or invoice number) to a dedicated SMS number provided by Datatel which the organization publishes. No credit card information is transmitted via text.

The customer/contributor will then receive a text response with a unique payment code and a telephone number to call to make the payment using their credit card. After the call is complete, the customer/contributor will receive a payment confirmation via a text message. Meanwhile, the organization can easily track each payment as they also receive a confirmation of payment including customer/contributor information. All funds are deposited to the organization’s merchant account.

The benefits of this payment method extend beyond just the convenience and ease of use. It saves organizations the hassle of managing paperwork as the process is all done securely through the phone. Additionally, it can boost customer satisfaction levels while still being low cost, secure and easy to implement.
