Auto Repair Payment Processing FAQs
Can auto repair shops use a cash discount program?
​
Yes. Cash discount programs work well for auto repair because repair tickets are often large. Your posted prices reflect the card price, and customers who pay with cash receive a discount. We supply the signage and set up the program for you.
​
Is surcharging allowed for auto repair shops?
​
Surcharging has additional rules. It is restricted in some states and cannot be applied to debit cards. We help you choose between a cash discount and surcharging, and set up your program to follow card brand and state requirements.
​
Can customers pay before they pick up their vehicle?
​
Yes. Send an invoice or payment link so customers can pay remotely, then pick up their vehicle without waiting at the counter.
​
Do I need new equipment?
​
Through our Equipment Placement Program, there is typically no charge for Clover or Payanywhere hardware. A $99 two-day shipping fee applies. We can also connect you with a leasing partner.
​
How fast can my shop get set up?
​
Many shops are up and running as soon as the next business day after approval, and next-day funding is available so your deposits arrive fast.
