Mrs DOE, unit B12: their payment lands in your collection account. Illustration, fictitious data.
One extra field in your SMS. And everyone pays their own.
Your amounts come in with your Excel or CSV file. When you send, {lien_paiement} turns into a short link to each person's own payment. You write once, and nobody ever gets someone else's link.
No more queueing at the counter.
In the school car park, on a lunch break, back home in the tribe or out in Bourail: parents pay for the canteen wherever the SMS finds them. No cheque to drop off, no queue at the school office.
The treasurer's evenings aren't spent writing reminders anymore.

A link people recognise at a glance.
Your recipients are wary of texts asking them to pay. Good: yours stands out, because it's signed, expected and specific.
- Sign it from the very first word. “Example Homes:” before anything else.
- Send under your own name. Your sender ID is registered for you, then checked with a real send.
- Say exactly what's due. November's rent, Jane's canteen bill.
- Never ask for a password or a code by SMS.
- Give a number people can call: nobody can reply to a sender ID.

Your questions about payment by SMS.
How does payment by SMS work?
You add the {lien_paiement} field to your SMS. When you send, each recipient gets their own link to a secure online payment page showing their amount. They pay from their phone, and the money lands in your collection account.
Where does the money go?
Into your collection account. Pacific Consulting takes no commission on the money you collect.
Can each recipient have a different amount?
Yes. In a group send, the amount is read from a column in your group: a different rent, canteen bill or order for each person, all in a single send.
Do recipients need to install an app?
No. The link opens in their phone's browser, on a secure online payment page. There's no app to install and no account to create.
Should we tell people before we send them a link?
Yes, and we recommend it. Let your customers know through your usual channels that they can now pay by SMS: a link that's expected and signed with your name is far easier to trust than one that comes out of the blue.
