How to grow your payments app with used car dealers

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See 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.

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.
