If you have a client that wants to pay by text or you would like accept payments via text, you or the client will need to work with a payment processing firm that has a text-to-pay feature. In many cases, a transactional text-to-pay account is not affordable for small businesses like construction companies, general contracting businesses, or other home improvement and installation services. However, if you recognize that your clientele wants to send mobile payments or you are spending too much time chasing down past-due invoices, text messaging software can help contractors and construction firms automate their payment processes. For instance, when a service is complete, an SMS with a link to an invoice can be automatically sent. Or when a payment is due, an automated billing reminder can be sent via text message.
