  • The program prompts donors to "Reply with a dollar amount to charge your card on file".
  • The program asks for payment or billing details directly inside the text message thread.
  • When a user texts a keyword such as "DONATE", reply with a secure HTTPS link to an external page where the donor can process payment themselves.
  • Remove any text-based payment collection from the messaging flow and resubmit.
