You’ve automated the conversation. Now it’s time to automate the payment. Discover how leading BPOs use Shuttle to turn every “I’ll pay now” into instant revenue.


You’ve Automated the Conversation. Now It’s Time to Automate the Payment.

Leading BPOs are using Shuttle to turn every “I’ll pay now” into revenue — instantly.

1. The Conversation Revolution

Twenty years ago, BPOs won the customer-experience game by industrialising the conversation.
They built the contact centres, chatbots, and offshore teams that kept the world talking — and listening.

Today, those same BPOs are reinventing themselves again. Voice is turning digital. Chatbots are becoming human. Conversations are becoming data.

Yet one part of the experience still feels oddly manual: the payment.


2. The Moment That Matters Most

Every BPO leader knows this scene.
A customer is on the line, problem solved, ready to pay.
The agent smiles — and then everything slows down.

“Let me just open another screen.”
“Can I read your card details?”
“Sorry, I’ll send you a separate link.”

Momentum dies. Trust erodes. The customer disappears into a maze of forms and systems that don’t talk to each other.

In that single moment, the conversation stops being intelligent. It becomes inconvenient.

That’s where revenue is lost — not because the customer won’t pay, but because the system can’t keep up.


3. Why Payments Got Left Behind

In the rush to digitise everything from voice to analytics, payments became an afterthought.

Every client had their own PSP. Every PSP had their own API.
Compliance rules grew. PCI-DSS hardened.

And so, payments were left to IT projects — long, fragile, and expensive.

The irony?
BPOs already handle some of the most sensitive customer interactions on earth.
Yet to process a simple £100 payment, they often need to hand the customer off to a third-party portal, breaking continuity and trust.


4. The Category Shift: From Gateways to Layers

The payment landscape has evolved — but unevenly.
Gateways gave us pipes. PSPs gave us options.
But what BPOs really need is connection — a way to make payments feel like a natural part of the interaction, not an obstacle to it.

That’s what Shuttle calls the Payment Layer.

Not another gateway. Not a PSP.
A connective layer that sits between your CX systems and any payment provider — so your agents, bots, or workflows can collect money instantly and securely, without ever leaving the conversation.

5. How Shuttle Works

Imagine this:
Your agent in AWS Connect finishes a call and clicks “Send payment link.”
In seconds, a branded checkout appears on the customer’s phone. They pay.
The transaction posts back into your client’s CRM automatically.

No coding. No PCI scope. No human error.

That’s Shuttle in motion — the invisible infrastructure that makes payments seamless across voice, chat, and AI.


6. The BPO Use Cases

Voice Collections

Agents send payment links directly from the call interface — no redirects, no shared credentials.
Ideal for service desks, utilities, insurance claims, and debt recovery.

Chatbot Conversions

AI agents don’t need to stop at support.
Shuttle turns them into revenue engines by embedding secure links within the chat flow.

Client On-Boarding & Billing

Spin up a new client instance in minutes.
Each has its own logo, domain, and PSP — fully isolated yet managed through one Shuttle dashboard.


7. Security Without Friction

BPOs live under constant compliance scrutiny.
Shuttle is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified — meaning card data never touches your environment.

We handle the sensitive part, so you can focus on the experience.

And for your clients, that means every payment looks and feels like their brand — not a third-party redirection.


8. Proof in Practice

Leading BPOs and AI-workflow builders use Shuttle to automate their payment moments.

One BPO migrated from a legacy stack to Shuttle’s Twilio Pay Connector and Payment Links, enabling agents to collect securely within conversations for some of the biggest brands in the world.

Where once it took months to deploy a new payment flow, Shuttle cut that down to days.
Where reconciliation once meant spreadsheets, it now happens automatically.

Speed. Security. Simplicity.
That’s the Shuttle difference.


9. The Economic Impact

Let’s be clear: the goal isn’t just convenience — it’s conversion.
Every failed or delayed payment is a missed opportunity for your clients.

By embedding Shuttle, BPOs can:

  • Reduce time-to-collection by up to 60 %

  • Eliminate manual reconciliation

  • Decrease PCI scope and compliance costs

  • Offer clients new, branded revenue channels

In competitive tenders, that capability becomes a differentiator — not a feature.


10. From Contact to Contract

BPOs are evolving from “outsourced service providers” into experience partners.
That shift requires more than automation — it requires intimacy.

Shuttle gives you that: the power to close the loop inside the same conversation.

From first contact to final contract, the experience stays connected, branded, and seamless.


11. The Future: Agentic Payments

AI is already transforming BPO operations.
Soon, bots won’t just talk — they’ll transact.

The next frontier is agentic payments — workflows where AI agents can decide, trigger, and reconcile payments automatically within compliance boundaries.

Shuttle is building that future now:
A Payment Layer that allows AI agents to act as financial participants, safely and instantly.

With Shuttle, you can unify every channel, client, and PSP under one Payment Layer.
