Siddharth runs SMSHorizon.in\u00a0which provides SMS based products and services for Businesses.<\/p>\n

He has been using Instamojo to collect payments for quite some time and he is very happy with Instamojo’s payment solutions. Here’s an interview we had with him recently:<\/p>\n

How did you discover Instamojo?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Siddharth:<\/strong> <\/em>Through my friend on one fine day.<\/p>\n

What is the nature of your business? What services\/products you sell to your customers?<\/h3>\n

Siddharth<\/strong> – We provide Digital Marketing services, targeting mainly on SMS service. Our platform provides Enterprises with API connectivity to deliver SMS to its customer through their own ERP applications.<\/p>\n

We provide both Transactional SMS to send informational content & promotional sms for marketing purposes.<\/p>\n

What would be your advice for people looking to start a small business?<\/h5>\n

Get started with a Minimum Viable Product and get feedback from customers, keep improving to see if it meet customer\u2019s needs before you invest much of your time & money. Concentrate on innovating the existing product or service to make it more user friendly.<\/p>\n

How has Instamojo helped you with collecting payments for your business?<\/h5>\n

First, Getting started is easy from our perspective. For customers, it’s a faster way to fill the basic 3 field forms to initiate a payment, whereas most other gateways want to fill too much of information on the form.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite feature of Instamojo?<\/h5>\n

User-Friendly Webhook & API integration.<\/p>\n

What do you think about our latest innovation: Instapay?<\/h5>\n

Good move, making it much easier to receive custom payments.<\/p>\n

How does Instamojo compare to other similar payment service providers? What differentiates Instamojo from them according to you?<\/h5>\n

Getting Started almost instantly: No paperwork has competitive transaction fees.\u00a0Daily payouts, user-friendly interface, SMS notifications on new orders, good support are some of the other pros with Instamojo.<\/p>\n
