The problem

Get paid on the spot, wherever the car is.

You work in driveways, parking lots, and shop bays. Some customers book and never show. Regulars want a plan. Your payments should keep up without slowing down the job.

Pay in the driveway

Tap to Pay on iPhone, or a Clover Go or SwipeSimple reader, so you can take cards on site.

Deposits when the job is booked

Send a payment link by text or email to lock in the appointment and cut down on no-shows.

Monthly detail and wash plans

Maintenance plans and unlimited wash memberships billed to a card on file.

Gift cards and loyalty

Through our partner PayBright, we're able to offer custom gift and loyalty cards at no charge.

Dealer and fleet accounts

Invoices and ACH through the PayBright Gateway or Hyfin, for dealerships and fleets that pay on account.

$0-fee options

Dual pricing or cash discount, so card customers cover the card cost.

Pricing options

Three ways to price a detailing business.

We price each option from your statements so you can compare them side by side.

$0-fee option

Dual pricing

Two prices on every ticket: one for cash, one for card. Card customers cover the card cost. The card price applies to all cards, debit included.

Example: a ceramic coating with a $400.00 cash price shows a $416.00 card price, a 4% difference. This is an example, not a quote. Your card price is set when we set up your program.

How dual pricing works →

$0-fee option

Cash discount

One posted price, with a discount for customers who pay cash. We set up the signage and receipts so it's clear at checkout.

Cash discount vs. dual pricing →

One price for everyone

Interchange-plus

You pay what the card networks charge, plus a fixed markup you can see on every statement. Your customers see one price.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Can I take cards without a reader?

Yes. Tap to Pay on iPhone lets you take contactless cards and phone wallets with just your phone, no reader needed. If you'd rather have a reader, Clover Go and SwipeSimple pair with your phone.

Can I collect a deposit when a customer books?

Yes. Text or email a payment link, and the customer pays the deposit from their phone. The balance can go out the same way when the job is done.

Can I bill monthly detail or wash plans?

Yes. Customers approve once, and the plan bills on schedule to a saved card or bank account.

Can I offer gift cards?

Yes. Through our partner PayBright, we're able to offer custom gift and loyalty cards at no charge.

Is there a contract?

The processing agreement we set up is month-to-month, with no cancellation fee.

How fast do I get paid?

You get next-day funding.
