What platform do they use for two way text messaging? How do they do payments?

They use a custom-made system for payments based on Stripe. I was working on a SaaS product where you could generate unique links either manually or via API for taking payments for SMS-based systems.

Drop me an email (it's in my profile) if you'd be interested in that and tell me what you would pay a month

Can you email me? Our idea is, hire a local "expert" to build your itinerary when you are visiting that local's town/city. Someone posted it on HN and we wanted to run with it. We will use send sonar for the SMS. Interested in integrating some payment solution like you wrote. Email is me@arilewis.com

For text messaging they use Sonar: https://sendsonar.com/

Not sure what they use for payments.
