The Affordable Pay-By-Phone Solution

While many businesses and organizations accept payments online, a significant amount of sales are still done the old-fashioned way – by phone. But manually staffing phone lines means there will inevitably be lost revenue, due to high call volume and when the office is closed.

With a pay-by-phone solution, you can accept payments around the clock through an automated system.
