Problem
Businesses that rely on phone calls, paper invoices, or separate payment portals face slow collection cycles, high friction for customers, and fragmented communication channels, leading to delayed cash flow and poor payment experiences.
Solution
Authvia offers an omnichannel conversational payments platform that embeds secure payment requests directly into existing messaging channels such as SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, email, QR codes, IVR, and AI chat. Its patented technology combines messaging, trust signals, and tokenized transaction processing within a PCI Level 1 and SOC 2‑certified infrastructure. Developers can integrate the service via a developer‑first API, enabling rapid customization of payment workflows, retry logic, and intelligent routing without needing to replace existing payment processors or CRM systems. Customers complete transactions in the native messaging app they already use, eliminating the need for apps, accounts, or additional passwords, which accelerates payment speed and improves the overall commerce experience. The platform also supports payouts and recurring billing, extending conversational commerce beyond one‑time collections.
Target Audience
Primary customers are enterprises and service‑oriented businesses—such as healthcare providers, property managers, logistics firms, field service companies, and call centers—that need to collect payments quickly within existing customer conversations.
