Stop Chasing Payments You Already Earned

Late payments usually come down to one thing: customers forget. A text message meets them where they already are, so they can pay in the moment.

Run Your Business From Wherever You Are

Every field job, phone call, or after-hours quote is an opportunity to get paid. Send a text from the Kurv Merchant Portal anywhere you have a signal, and get paid.

Send a Payment Request by Text. Get Paid in Seconds.

Your customer gets the text, taps the link, and pays. The whole transaction runs on a hosted payment page that supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card entry. No app, no login, nothing between them and checkout.

  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card entry. Customers pay with the digital wallet they already use or the card they have on hand.
  • Universal smartphone compatibility. Works on every smartphone with no compatibility checks or device limitations.
  • No app, no login, no registration. Customers pay without creating an account, downloading anything, or remembering a password.
  • One-time, recurring, and batch sends. Use payments by text for one-off invoices, ongoing service contracts, or large customer batches.
  • Secure, PCI-compliant checkout. Customers land on a hosted payment page that handles card data, encrypts it in transit, and is backed by Kurv’s built-in fraud and chargeback protection. You never touch sensitive info.
  • Real-time payment confirmation. You’re notified the moment the payment clears, with full visibility inside the Kurv Merchant Portal.
