Stripe payment integration for car dealers: card and bank payments that record themselves

Yes. On the Max plan, the owner connects your own Stripe account under Settings, Customer payments. Then staff take car-sale payments from a deal and loan payments from the loan, borrowers pay their loan from their account page, customers pay invoices from their link, and every payment records itself on the deal, the loan or the invoice.

You do. Payments are made on your own Stripe account and settle to your bank. You are the merchant on every payment, and AutoDealer.io never holds the money.

Stripe payments come with the Max plan, and AutoDealer.io adds no fee to a payment. Stripe charges you its own fees on each payment, at the rates it sets for your account. You can try Max free for 14 days.

Yes, when you turn cards on. The owner chooses bank account payments, card payments or both, and the choice holds for car sales and loan installments alike.

You handle them in the Stripe Dashboard. On a deal, every refund you give there records itself on the deal, partial or full. On a loan, a full refund is reversed by itself, and a partial one leaves the loan as it is and tells your managers. A dispute on a bank payment comes off at once, a card dispute only if you lose it, and an inquiry from the bank changes nothing.

Yes, when you offer it. A signed-in borrower turns on automatic payments from their account page with a card or bank account, and each payment is taken on its due date. They can turn it off any time, and it is never a condition of the loan. The owner chooses whether to offer it.

Stripe sets the limits for your account. On top of that, a payment on a deal is never more than its balance due, a loan payment is never more than the payoff, and an invoice is paid for what is still owed.

Yes. On the Payments page, make an invoice for title work, a repair, parts, storage or anything else, then email it to the customer or copy its link. The customer opens it on your website and pays by card or bank account, the payment records itself on the invoice, and the invoice and its payments are booked by themselves. With reminders on, the customer gets an email the day before it is due and one more a week after.

Each automatic payout Stripe makes to your bank shows on the Payments page with the payments, refunds and fees it carries, and it is booked by itself, from Stripe Clearing to your bank account, so its bank line matches your books. A payout you start yourself in Stripe is booked with one button, and money you took outside AutoDealer.io is shown for you to match by hand in Books.

Yes, for the owner, managers and accounting. Ask what came in this week, which invoices are overdue, whether a payment cleared or what a payout carried, and it answers from your own records with a link to each one. It also prepares an invoice, a payment link or a payment you received for you to approve: anything that moves money or reaches a customer waits for a person, one card at a time. Owners and managers can also turn on a morning message that names an overdue invoice, a Stripe payment that could not be placed on its deal, loan or invoice and waits for a decision, and a payout that needs a person.

Not from a car’s page on your website. A deposit is taken from the deal: open the payment page at the desk, or email the buyer a link. On your website, a borrower pays their loan from their account page and a customer pays an invoice from its link.
