OneText builds a text-to-buy commerce platform that lets shoppers complete purchases by SMS without replacing a merchant’s existing checkout. The product pairs AI-powered two-way conversations with human-in-the-loop support to drive features like cart recovery, post-purchase upsells, and shopper-specific recommendations. Under the hood OneText runs its own wallet that integrates with a brand’s payment processor and securely vaults customer payment information for one-reply reorders using a card-on-file model and “consentful” automation. The company positions itself against mass SMS marketing by focusing on personalized, conversion-oriented interactions and reports improving conversions by 20–30%. OneText serves mid-sized e-commerce brands doing $10M–$100M in annual revenue, supports smaller startups and large enterprises, and says it has been scaling 3x year-over-year and doing millions in revenue. Over time it plans to expand the vaulted-profile network so shoppers can reuse pre-filled checkout data and recommendations across multiple brands, building toward a cross-brand, SMS-native payment network.
