Alex Hemmat Executive Board Member at Charge One Announces the Launch of Authvia Text-to-Pay Feature on the Charge1 Platform
PLANO, TX
Charge One today announced the rollout of a new Text-to-Pay feature powered by Authvia on its Charge1 payment platform. The new capability allows businesses to securely request and collect payments via SMS, giving merchants a faster, more convenient way to get paid.
The Text-to-Pay solution enables merchants to send a secure payment link directly to a customer’s mobile phone. Customers can complete their payment instantly using credit or debit cards or digital wallets without downloading an app or logging into a portal.
“Text messaging is one of the most immediate and effective ways to communicate,” said Alex Hemmat, Executive Board Member at Charge 1. “By integrating Authvia’s Text-to-Pay functionality into Charge1, we’re giving our merchants a simple, secure way to accelerate collections and improve customer convenience.”
How it Works
With the new Charge1 Text-to-Pay feature, merchants can:
- Send secure payment links via SMS in seconds
- Accept credit, debit, and digital wallet payments
- Receive real-time payment confirmations
- Reduce billing friction and improve cash flow
The feature is designed for a wide range of industries, including service providers, medical offices, property management companies, contractors, and professional services firms particularly those who invoice customers or collect payments remotely.
Security & Compliance
All Text-to-Pay transactions are processed through secure, encrypted payment channels and support tokenization to protect sensitive cardholder data. The solution helps merchants reduce PCI scope while maintaining enterprise-grade security standards.
Driving Faster Payments
By meeting customers where they already communicate on their mobile devices Text-to-Pay helps reduce payment delays, minimize outstanding receivables, and streamline the overall billing experience.
The Authvia Text-to-Pay feature is now available to Charge1 merchants.
