Infinicept, a leading provider of embedded payments, today announced that Authvia, the maker of conversational commerce solutions that enable instant payment acceptance on contactless channels such as text, social media, chat, email, and messenger, has joined the Infinicept Partner Network, a curated community of solution providers that helps software and fintech companies transform to the new era of software-led payments.

The collaboration between Infinicept and Authvia accelerates the trend of software-led payments, helping meet the evolving needs of companies as they embed payments into their digital experiences, leading to full control over their payments journey.

As part of the Partner Network and through each platforms’ existing APIs, Infinicept’s customers are now able to automate setup and onboarding for their merchants and launch TXT2PAY with little to no development. The combined capabilities provide:

• Fast, secure, compliant embedding of merchant application and onboarding
• Out-of-the-box multi-channel conversational commerce for collecting consumer payment
• Streamlined collections, using digital and contactless to drive paperless adoption and gain alternatives to payment terminal hardware shortages
• Unified settlement, funding and reporting engine across all payment channels
• Increased risk and oversight of consumer payment behavior
