Texting one by one? Text the whole list.
Retyping one message for each customer eats your day. Group SMS lets you save your customers as a group and send them a single text. Below are the setup steps, plus what to do when a customer is ready to pay.
- Get a number and build your group
- Write one short message and send it
- Ask a customer to pay by text
One group text, or one personal request?
Pick by who needs to hear it.
Texting is the easy part. Getting paid is next.
Choose SMS in Receive Payment, then watch the request.

Why texting a list feels like a chore.
Here is what slows most owners down when they text a customer list, and how ZIL MONEY helps.
I send the same text again and again.
Save a group once. Type in your contacts, then reuse the group each time you have news.
My contacts live in another file.
Import the list. Bring in a contact list you already have and save it as a group.
I use my own cell phone number.
Add a number for your business. Group texts go out from the number you add in ZIL MONEY.
I worry a text will sound pushy.
Keep it short and useful. Say what is new. Then say what to do next. Text only people who agreed to hear from you.
A customer is ready to pay, but how?
Send a request by SMS. Choose SMS in Receive Payment. The customer gets the request on their phone.
I lose track of who paid.
Open Payments In. Every request shows its status, from Requested to Paid.
I am not always at my desk.
Use your phone or tablet. Do it from anywhere.
From empty list to sent text in four steps.
You do not need to be a phone expert. Just go in order.
Add a phone number
Get a number inside ZIL MONEY. Your texts come from it.
Build your group
Type in contacts or import a list. Give the group a name you will remember.
Write one short message
Say what is new, then tell people what to do next.
Send it to the group
