Authvia Activation and Configuration (Beta)

Authvia is a conversational payments platform and e-commerce solution that enables merchants to send and receive payments across digital channels, including SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, email, QR codes, IVR, websites, mobile apps, and two-way chat. Without requiring apps, logins, or delays for the payer experience, Authvia helps accelerate cash flow, reduce payment friction, lower operating costs, and deliver a seamless payment experience. Key benefits include text-to-pay links, integrated workflows, real-time payment tracking, and out-of-the-box integrations with platforms such as Salesforce, Zapier, QuickBooks, and two-way texting platforms.

Authvia integrates with the Bank of America Gateway using the bank's Direct API (REST) integration methods, which supports Payment Card Industry (PCI) Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ A) compliance requirements.

Requirements

To process payments using Authvia and Bank of America, you must have:

• A Merchant Services account with Bank of America
