Text to Pay

For appliance repair: Send a payment request for repair calls, installation deposits and service invoices by text so customers can pay against a specific order or invoice.

A dedicated merchant account gives you custom pricing and processing limits set during underwriting. Roots uses it when Square isn't the right fit.
