Looking for SMS text-to-purchase software and integrations

Hello everyone. I’m looking for software where users can text a phone number to place orders which will then be shipped to their homes. Does anyone have any recommendations for text to order services? For example, say I’m selling coffee. A customer can have a conversation with the software to place more orders. They would preregister their credit card on the website so it’s linked to their phone. The conversation would go like this: Shop: Did you like the coffee you ordered last week) (Yes/No) Customer: Yes S: Do you want to order more? C: Yes S: How many bags? C: 2 Then their order will be automatically placed and credit card charged appropriately. Does anyone have recommendations for software or integrations that have this kind of functionality? It would be nice if I could somehow link this with Shopify, Square, Wix, etc. EDIT: I’m also on mobile and the alternate flairs won’t load. I didn’t choose the current flair and I’m not sure why that was auto assigned.

Need Help/Advice with a fraudulent company

Hello everyone, I am an owner of a vape/smoke shop. A very big and reputable wholesaler of mine sent me an order that was incorrect, I was told I would be credited upon arrival of shipping the inventory back. I shipped it back, inquired about it for weeks and got minimal responses then finally last week, the sales rep told me they only received $180 in items out of the $2000 I shipped back. I filed a report with the BBB and started a claim on my card, is there anything else I can do? Thank you

Online Payments

Hello! I own a small service based business and was wondering what is the recommended online payment app to relieve money from without high fees. We have looked at a few apps like Cash App, Venmo, etc., but they all have super high fees with them. We don't care about getting the money that day, it can be a few days but as long as we get it. So what is the best payment app that we get to keep the money that we earned? The business is small and just starting up so we can't have the payment app take out a few dollars when we might make $15-$20 sometimes. Are the fees for getting the payment, or are the fees only for if you instantly transfer it?
