Still trying to track down your customers, hoping that they have their cards on them and then hoping that they are ok with giving those card details to you, a stranger?

Taking credit card details over the phone involves the customer verbally providing their sensitive credit card information to a company representative and relies heavily on the trustworthiness of the company's staff and their adherence to strict security protocols. The company taking the details needs to ensure secure handling and storage of credit card details complying with industry regulations such as PCI DSS.

The company is susceptible to human error, such as mistyping or mishearing card numbers, which can lead to payment processing issues and potential customer frustration.

Overall, adopting a payment link system via text message offers numerous advantages over taking credit card details over the phone. This benefits both the company and customers in terms of security, convenience, trust, efficiency, and compliance.
