Text to pay. Paid before they leave the parking lot.
Send a secure payment link by text or email. Customers pay from their phone, and your books update themselves.
Text to pay is a way to collect a payment by sending the customer a text message with a secure link to a hosted payment page. The customer taps the link, reviews the amount and pays by card from their phone. The business never handles the card number, and the payment is recorded against the invoice automatically.
Collections without the awkward call
Text to pay
An itemized invoice and a pay button, delivered by text. Most customers pay within minutes of opening it.
Payment plans
Split a larger balance into monthly installments. Each reminder collects the next installment.
Estimates with e-signature
Send an estimate, the customer types their name to approve, and it converts to an invoice.
Polite reminders
Past-due balances get a friendly automated nudge with the pay link, on a schedule you control.
Balance on the screen pop
When a customer calls, you see what they owe before you say hello.
AI can send the linkAI
Callers who ask about their balance get it read back and a payment link texted on the spot.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need an app or an account?
No. The payment link opens a secure web page in the phone's browser. There is nothing to install and no password to create.
Can I offer payment plans?
Yes. Choose the number of monthly installments when you create the request. Each payment link collects one installment and the invoice tracks what remains.
Can estimates be approved online?
Yes. The customer reviews the itemized estimate and approves it by typing their full name as an e-signature. The estimate then becomes an invoice.
What does payment processing cost?
Card processing fees are set by the payment processor, and Talos Connect pricing is quoted per business. Ask us for a quote that includes your expected volume.
