What Is Twilio Pay?
Twilio Pay lets contact centres, IVR systems, and AI voice agents accept secure card payments during phone calls. When a customer needs to pay, they enter their card details via the telephone keypad (DTMF). The tones are stripped from the audio so agents never hear sensitive data.
To process a payment on Twilio, you need a Pay Connector that bridges Twilio's voice platform to your payment gateway. Whether you need to connect Stripe to Twilio, connect Adyen to Twilio, or connect Worldpay to Twilio, a connector handles tokenisation, gateway routing, and PCI compliance so your systems never touch card data.
Shuttle's Twilio Pay Connector lets you connect any of 16+ payment gateways to Twilio out of the box (including Stripe, Adyen, Worldpay, Checkout.com, Authorize.net, and PayPal) with multi-PSP routing, real-time reporting, and PCI DSS Level 1 certification. Shuttle is Twilio's chosen payment partner.

How to Set Up Twilio Pay with Shuttle
Four Steps
- 1
Install from Twilio Marketplace
Find the Shuttle Pay Connector on the Twilio Marketplace and install it to your Twilio account. No infrastructure to provision.
- 2
Configure your payment gateway
Add your gateway credentials (Stripe, Adyen, Worldpay, etc.) in the Shuttle dashboard. Set up routing rules, capture modes, and tokenisation preferences.
- 3
Add Pay to your voice flow
Use Twilio's <Pay> verb in your TwiML or Studio flow. When the customer reaches the payment step, Shuttle handles secure DTMF capture, gateway processing, and returns the result.
- 4
Process payments securely
Card data is captured within Shuttle's PCI-compliant environment, tokenised, and routed to your gateway. Your Twilio application receives a payment token, never raw card data.
Connect Your Payment Gateway to Twilio
Supported Gateways
Shuttle's Twilio Pay Connector supports 16+ payment gateways. Select your gateway below to see how to connect it to Twilio for voice payments.
Generic, Stripe, Braintree, CardConnect or Shuttle?
Choosing a Pay Connector
Twilio's Marketplace lists several Pay Connectors. The Stripe, Braintree and CardConnect connectors each link Twilio's <Pay> verb to one gateway. The Generic Connector reaches any gateway, but you build and maintain the integration yourself. Shuttle is not an alternative to your gateway. It sits over it: one connector that reaches many gateways and adds team and client management on top.
| Connector | Gateways you can use | Channels | Team & client access | PCI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Generic Connector | Any gateway, but you build and maintain the integration yourself | In-call (IVR) only | Manage payments inside your own gateway account | Your responsibility to build to spec |
| Stripe Connector | Stripe only | In-call (IVR) only | Anyone who needs visibility needs Stripe account access | Handled by Stripe |
| Braintree Connector | Braintree only | In-call (IVR) only | Anyone who needs visibility needs Braintree account access | Handled by Braintree |
| CardConnect Connector | CardConnect only | In-call (IVR) only | Anyone who needs visibility needs CardConnect account access | Handled by CardConnect |
| Shuttle Connector | Many gateways, one integration, switch anytime | In-call (IVR), SMS payment links, REST API and webhooks | Invite teammates and manage client activity without raw gateway access | PCI DSS Level 1, SAQ-A scope for IVR |
What the Shuttle connector adds
For platforms, BPOs and teams
Team access without gateway logins
Invite teammates to view and manage payments across voice and links inside Shuttle, without giving anyone access to the raw gateway account.
Manage payments for every client
Platforms and BPOs see and manage each client's payment activity through Shuttle, without being handed credentials to every client's gateway account.
Voice and payment links together

Twilio Pay FAQ
FAQ
What is Twilio Pay?
Twilio Pay is Twilio's built-in capability for accepting payments during voice calls. It uses the <Pay> TwiML verb to capture card details via DTMF (keypad entry) during a call. A Pay Connector (like the Shuttle connector) bridges Twilio to your payment gateway to actually process the transaction.
What is a Twilio Pay Connector?
A Twilio Pay Connector is a certified integration that connects Twilio's payment capture to a specific payment gateway. Without a connector, Twilio can capture DTMF input but cannot process payments. Shuttle's connector supports 16+ gateways out of the box, so you don't need to build and maintain your own.
How is Shuttle different from the Twilio Generic Connector?
The Twilio Generic Connector is a lightweight, open framework. You build the PSP integration yourself. Shuttle's connector is a fully managed, production-ready solution with 16+ pre-built gateway integrations, PCI DSS Level 1 certification, multi-PSP routing, tokenisation, and real-time monitoring. You go live in hours instead of weeks.
Should I use the Generic, Stripe, Braintree, CardConnect, or Shuttle connector?
If you only ever want one specific gateway and a single in-call payment flow, a single-gateway connector (Stripe, Braintree, or CardConnect) is the simplest path, and the Generic Connector lets you build your own integration to any gateway. Choose Shuttle when you want one connector that reaches many gateways and can switch between them, take payments over both voice and SMS payment links, and let your team or your clients manage payments without handing out raw gateway-account access. Shuttle sits over your gateway rather than replacing it.
Can my team manage payments without access to the gateway account?
Yes. With Shuttle you invite teammates into Shuttle to view and manage payments across voice and links. They never need a login to the underlying gateway account. A single-gateway connector leaves you managing payments inside the raw gateway console, so anyone who needs visibility needs full account access.
I run payments for multiple client merchants. Can Shuttle handle that?
Yes. Platforms and BPOs use Shuttle to see and manage each client's payment activity in one place, without being given access to every client's gateway account. Connecting a gateway directly would mean holding credentials for each client's account.
What payment gateways does Shuttle support on Twilio?
Shuttle supports 16+ gateways including Stripe, Adyen, Worldpay, Checkout.com, Authorize.net, PayPal, Cybersource, Global Payments, NMI, Moneris, Opayo, PaySafe, PayU, FreedomPay, CardConnect, USAePay, and LiqPay. New gateways are added regularly.
Is Shuttle PCI compliant for Twilio payments?
Yes. Shuttle is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment card security. Card data captured during Twilio calls is processed within Shuttle's PCI-compliant environment and never touches your infrastructure. This reduces your PCI scope to SAQ-A.
How much does Twilio Pay with Shuttle cost?
Shuttle's Twilio Pay Connector costs $0.20 per transaction, billed through your Twilio account. No setup fees, no monthly minimums, no hidden costs. You only pay for transactions you process.
Can I use Twilio Pay with AI voice agents?
Yes. AI voice agents built on Twilio (including those powered by PolyAI, Retell, and other platforms) can hand off the payment step to Shuttle. The AI agent continues managing the conversation while Shuttle handles PCI-compliant DTMF capture in the background.
How long does it take to set up Twilio Pay with Shuttle?
Most teams go live within hours. Install the Shuttle connector from the Twilio Marketplace, add your gateway credentials, and add the <Pay> verb to your TwiML or Studio flow. A demo app and setup blueprint are included.
