Using Venmo To Accept SMS Text Message Payments

1. Ask your customer for their cell phone number (let’s say it’s 215-678-9010)
2. Compose an SMS Text Message to the number 646-863-9557 (Save it as Venmo in your phone book),
3. In the message body type, the following command “venmo $10 from 2156789010” (eg: venmo [AMOUNT] from [PHONE-NUMBER])
4. Ask the customer to follow the instructions in the text message they receive.
5. You’re done!
