Apple Pay and Google Pay for Invoices and Text2Pay Links

You can now offer Apple Pay and Google Pay as payment options for one-time and recurring invoices, as well as Text2Pay links. These payment methods will be available based on the customer's geographic location and the browser they are using. If both conditions are met, the option to pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay will appear alongside the default credit card option.
