Text2Pay introduces a '1-Tap' direct carrier billing feature

Text2Pay is launching a "1-Tap billing" feature for mobile websites. With the feature, consumers can quickly purchase digital goods and services via mobile phone.

The new 1-Tap billing feature uses an identification process based on the user's phone number. It eliminates the need for a PIN or password when making a mobile purchase.

"Our merchants, which include gaming, dating and file share sites, can now reduce their payment flow to just one tap. It’s an easy frictionless flow," said Mark Reiken, director of Text2Pay. 

Live in 43 countries, Tap2Pay offers direct carrier billing services to merchants who offer virtual and digital goods. The service can be easily integrated into mobile sites, apps and services available through a mobile browser. It is available for any mobile platform and even detects a user's mobile operating system to facilitate transactions.
