How to grow your payments app with used car dealers

- 3See every payment as it happens
Buying a used car often means a holding deposit to reserve it, then a large final payment on collection. Carrying cash for a car is risky, and bank transfers can be slow to confirm. A payments app that makes deposits and final payments safe and clear can win small dealers, and every buyer who pays them sees your app.
Talk to dealers and buyers

Take holding deposits by link
Send a payment link for the holding deposit with the car and the terms written clearly, so both sides have a record.

Make the final payment clear
On collection, the buyer pays the balance and gets a receipt at once, so the dealer can hand over the keys with confidence.
Grow through the motor trade
Dealers work with mechanics, car washes and parts suppliers. One dealer on your app can bring you the rest of the local motor trade.
