How Voice AI + Real-Time Payments Are Changing the Game for Service Businesses

June 28, 2025

The Problem with “Call Now, Pay Later” in Service Industries

Every service-based business knows the pain of chasing customers for payments. Whether you run an HVAC company, a law office, or a landscaping crew, you’ve likely experienced the delay between a booked appointment and actual payment. That delay can cost you more than just time—it can kill conversions and lead to canceled jobs.

In a world where consumers expect seamless experiences, having to send an invoice after a call just doesn’t cut it.

Introducing AWER Payments: Built for Voice, Not Just Web

Most payment systems were built for websites. AWER was built for voice-first businesses—which is why we developed AWER Payments, an all-in-one merchant solution that lets you:

Collect secure card info over the phone using DTMF (touch-tone)
Send instant SMS payment links right from the AI or live agent flow
Track every payment, status, and transaction from your AWER dashboard

And because we’re integrated directly with a processing bank, your merchant account setup is fast, secure, and streamlined—no third-party nonsense.

Why It Matters: Close Sales in Real Time

Studies show that customers are 40% more likely to pay when the transaction is completed during the call. By collecting deposits, balances, or retainers at the moment of engagement, you’re not just improving cash flow—you’re closing deals before they fall through the cracks.

Whether it’s a $5,000 HVAC install or a $99 emergency plumbing visit, AWER Payments helps you secure the revenue immediately.

Transparent Pricing. No Gatekeepers.

AWER Payments uses simple, competitive pricing:

👉 Interchange + 0.08%

And as a limited-time launch incentive, we’re offering 6 months of waived platform fees for all new merchant accounts activated through us.

Get Started with AWER Payments

AWER Payments isn’t a bolt-on gateway. It’s embedded directly into your voice workflows. That means less friction, better reporting, and a smoother experience—for you and your customers.

Final Thoughts

If your business relies on conversations to drive revenue, it’s time your payment process caught up. AWER Payments lets you complete the sale right on the call, without ever sending a follow-up invoice. It’s fast, secure, and built for how modern businesses actually work.
