Hey Startup Base! 👋 I’m Rafael, the maker of PayXT.
After 18+ years operating as a Financial Controller and CFO for HVAC techs, construction crews, and landscapers, I kept seeing my clients suffer from the exact same profit-killers: delayed cash flow from chasing paper checks, and bleeding 3% on every credit card swipe.
Existing payment tools either required clunky Bluetooth dongles that never connect, or forced guys in the field to navigate bloated accounting software on their phones just to send a simple bill.
I built PayXT to eliminate that friction. It’s a dead-simple text-to-pay app. You type the amount, hit send, and the client pays via Apple/Google Pay from their own phone.
The best part? I built in a 1-tap "Gross-Up" toggle so you can legally pass the processing fees directly to the client and keep exactly 100% of your quoted margins.
We just pushed our latest live build, and I’d love to hear your feedback on the workflow. I'll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions! 🚀
