Text to Gift is a merchant that lets you make cardless pay transactions. This means that it allows you to use your mobile phone for payment transactions. You can also gifts for your friends, so that they can buy anything they want from their online store using just their mobile phone.
Although the online store doesn’t have a lot of items at the moment, the idea behind the website is a very interesting one. It is sort of like the iTunes gift cards you can give to your friends, which they can use for buying music and videos from the iTunes store. Google Checkout and Paypal are the only ways that you can deposit money to your account and once you gift someone, they automatically become a cardlesspay.com customer, letting them see the balance in their account.
How it works.
Say your friends birthday is tomorrow and you are reading this at 11:00PM today at your home far away from your friends place. Want to be the first person to wish happy birthday.
1. Go to TextToGift.Com
2. Enter your mobile Number.
3. Enter your friends mobile number.
4. Select the time when you want the message to be delivered. You can choose send immediate or choose the next day morning at 7:00AM.
5. Use Google Check out or Paypal
6. You are done. As soon as the payment is authorized your friend will get TextMessage in case of send immediate.
7. This TextMessage will stand out as it carries the money, and will always be there on the website.
8. So the 20 other regular text messages your friend received on that day, well they will be glimpsed through, but your gift is what your friend is eagerly waiting for.
Though the money on the cell phone account can be directly accepted by other web and retail merchants in the united states we are expecting the penetration will not be enough to server the consumers needs. For this reason in addition to selling gift items on the store, we sell gift cards of Major retailers and restaurants.
The only way such a service can succeed is by its acceptance by a majority of people. Since credit cards are widely used by people for online shopping now, it’s hard to imagine what would lure people to use Text to Gift instead of their credit cards. But then, this new idea can possibly be of value to those who don’t wish to use credit cards for online payments.
