Texts get opened. Deals get closed.

Sell while you text.

Stop pushing paper.

Cut back on the wasted time and resources associated with gathering payment. No postage, no paper, no phone tag, no time at all.

Get paid faster.

By requesting payment in an existing Podium text conversation, you’ll see much higher response rates than with traditional methods.

"Improved customer satisfaction, reduction in fees, and saved time—that’s what Podium Payments has provided us. We’re constantly hearing from our customers how easy it is to pay through Podium."
