When was the last time your dealership reviewed its payment processing setup?
If you’re like most service departments, the focus is often on labor hours, technician efficiency, and upselling—not on payment processing fees, even though they can quietly chip away at your bottom line every month.
Some dealerships are still paying 3–4X more than they should be in processing costs. That’s where PromisePay, powered by UpdatePromise, is stepping in and helping dealerships simplify payments, reduce errors, and save thousands—without changing how they work.
Real Dealerships. Real Processing Fees. Real Savings.
One dealership using PromisePay reduced their monthly payment processing fees from $3,924.11 to just $299.28. Another saved 19+ hours per month simply by cutting back the time spent chasing payments.

And they didn’t need to overhaul their service drive or train staff on a complicated new system. The key was reworking their payment process with:
- PromisePay’s all-in-one merchant services
- Sunbit financing integration
- Mobile payments for faster pickups
- AI-driven post-RO follow-up
How to Rework Your Payment Processing Set-Up in 3 Steps

1. Cut the Hidden Fees
Most dealerships don’t realize how much they’re overpaying per transaction.
A free statement analysis can quickly reveal excessive per-transaction rates and monthly totals you could be saving.

2. Offer Flexible Ways to Pay
Not every customer wants to pay at the counter—or pay all at once.
With mobile payments and Sunbit financing, dealerships are seeing higher customer satisfaction, fewer drop-offs, and faster pickups.

3. Automate the Follow-Through
Once the RO is marked complete in your DMS, UpdatePromise automatically notifies the customer that their vehicle is ready.
This not only streamlines communication—it subtly nudges customers to use the payment link already sent to them, helping your team get paid faster without added work.
Secure, Simple, and Built for Dealerships
PromisePay is fully integrated into the UpdatePromise platform and includes:
- Secure processing through CardConnect
- Transparent rates and clear reporting
- Full reconciliation support
- Setup, hardware, and training included
You don’t need to add another system—you need one that’s built to simplify the one you already have.
