Twilio has announced that its <Pay> service is now generally available, allowing businesses to accept Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant payments over the phone without the hassle of building and maintaining their own PCI compliant payment infrastructure. The service enables customers to focus on building a secure voice payment experience while leveraging Twilio's full suite of Programmable Voice APIs. With <Pay>, businesses can build self-service payment processing, augment contact center payment workflows, and limit their PCI scope to save on cost and overhead. The service supports features such as tokenization, automatic pause/resume recording functionality, and built-in validation and retries. It also comes with a pricing model and is available for integration with various payment platforms, including Base Commerce.
