CALIFORNIA, United States of America, March 16, 2022/APO Group/ —
Clickatell (https://bit.ly/3IiVTbo), a CPaaS innovator and Chat Commerce leader announced it has launched the integration of its industry-leading Chat 2 Pay (https://bit.ly/3KMWKTl) payment solution with Salesforce Commerce Cloud (https://sforce.co/3CPEAxM), the fastest path to unified commerce.
Clickatell’s integration empowers Commerce Cloud customers to achieve enhanced payment options by allowing contact center agents to trigger payment requests via a payment link in chat messages. With Chat 2 Pay, customers pay for goods and services via Salesforce Order Management by simply clicking on a link delivered through SMS or WhatsApp without requiring them to expose their personal payment information to a human agent. Upon clicking the link, the customer is served a fully hosted checkout page where the customer can securely enter payment card details and submit the payment. The customer receives a confirmation of the order and a receipt via a chat message, while the contact center agent is kept abreast of the payment status to complete the sale.
Features and benefits of Chat 2 Pay include:
- Pre-built Chat 2 Pay cartridge for Salesforce Order Management
- Payment link sent via SMS or WhatsApp channels through integration of Clickatell’s Chat 2 Pay extension

- Agent dashboard that displays status of the payment (e.g., link sent, payment success or error, etc.)
- Analytics delivered via integration of Clickatell’s Chat 2 Pay extension
