The company is introducing its new AuxPAY feature, utilizing TXT2PAY® functionality. Powered by Authvia’s leading text payment technology, AuxPAY users send payment requests directly through the conversation thread, and the customer can pay simply by texting back a secure four-digit code.

AuxCHAT clients can process credit/debit card or bank account transactions at ‘zero cost’ without using a traditional point-of-sale system, and customers are able to pay directly from their mobile device’s texting app. Multiple payment methods can be saved, with all data stored securely in an offsite vault to protect AuxCHAT clients and their customers from PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) compliance risk.

“With Authvia’s robust TXT2PAY® engine powering AuxPAY, AuxCHAT users now have the flexibility to setup text-based payments with any processing company and instantly increase cash flow by offering customers the quick and easy payment experience they want,” said Trevor Rubel, President and COO of Authvia. “Our usage data confirms consumers pay 10x faster via text message and we’re thrilled to back AuxCHAT’s endeavor and empower clients with this valuable payment enablement tool.”

AuxCHAT’s platform enables businesses to easily collaborate with customers via two-way text messaging (including personalization such as emojis, images, and PDFs), a Click-to-Call plugin, direct integration channels to Google, Yelp, and Meta (formerly Facebook), and much more. All tools and live conversations are accessible through one ‘pane of glass’ that users can easily optimize to meet their unique business requirements.
