Payment Processing for Automotive Detailers

Challenges automotive detailers face with payment processing
Deposits on full details and ceramic
Premium packages can run $500–$2,500. Deposits protect your schedule.
On-site card acceptance
Mobile detailers can't drag the customer to an office to pay. Card reader needs to be in the truck.
Package pricing and add-ons
Packages and upsells (interior shampoo, pet hair, paint correction) should be one-tap adds.
Phone-quoted jobs
A customer who books over the phone needs a secure way to pay the deposit without reading a card number aloud.
