What the customer sees on their phone: the shop name, invoice, amount due and a Pay button

Text-to-Pay for Auto Shops

Baybolt's text-to-pay lets your shop collect payment without the customer coming to the counter. Connect your own Stripe account once. Then open any saved invoice, tap Request payment, and Baybolt fills in the amount and the customer's details. Send the link by text from your phone or by email. The customer sees your shop name and the amount, taps Pay and checks out securely with Stripe. The money goes straight to your Stripe account, and the request shows as Paid in Baybolt with a notification to the owner. Stripe charges its standard card fee, and Baybolt adds nothing on top.
