TAG is designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s merchants and consumers by offering flexible, secure, and rapid payment options, including pay by text, pay by link, and pay by QR code.
1. Pay by Text
Pay by Text enables businesses to send a secure payment request via SMS directly to a customer’s mobile phone. The recipient receives a text message with a payment link, allowing them to complete the transaction quickly.
Benefits of Pay by Text:
Convenience: Customers can make payments directly from their mobile devices without needing to access a separate app or website.
Real-Time Processing: Transactions are processed immediately, reducing the time between payment request and completion.
High Engagement Rates: SMS messages have high open rates, ensuring that payment requests are seen and acted upon quickly.
2. Pay by Link
Pay by Link involves sending a payment link through email, SMS, or other communication channels. The customer clicks on the link, which takes them to a secure payment page hosted by TAG.
Benefits of Pay by Link:
Flexibility: Payment links can be shared across multiple platforms, including email, social media, and text messages.
User-Friendly Experience: The payment page is optimized for ease of use, allowing customers to complete payments swiftly.
Trackability: Businesses can monitor link performance, track payment status, and manage follow-ups effectively.
3. Pay by QR Code
Pay by QR Code allows businesses to provide a QR code that customers can scan with their mobile devices to access a payment page. This method is particularly useful for in-person transactions and printed invoices.
Benefits of Pay by QR Code:
Speed: Scanning a QR code is quick and straightforward, directing customers instantly to the payment page.
Paperless Transactions: Ideal for digital and print invoices, reducing the need for paper and enhancing environmental sustainability.
Effortless Payment: Eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing errors and accelerating the payment process.
Importance of Speed, Security, and Customer Experience
1. Speed to Payment
Speed is a critical factor in payment processing. The faster transactions are completed, the better the cash flow and customer satisfaction.
Statistics:
Traditional Invoice Payment: Payments for traditional invoices can take anywhere from 5 to 10 business days to process, due to delays in mail delivery and bank processing.
Pay by Text/Link: Payments via text or link are typically completed within minutes of receiving the request, thanks to the streamlined digital process.
Pay by QR Code: Payments are generally processed almost instantly once the QR code is scanned, speeding up the payment cycle significantly.
