PayPal Integration for Car Dealers
Vehiso includes a built-in PayPal integration for car dealers, so buyers can pay a deposit, reservation fee or the full price with the PayPal account they already use, straight from a vehicle listing on your website. The vehicle is marked as reserved automatically and the payment is recorded against the deal in your DMS.

Let buyers pay the way they already pay online
Many buyers would rather pay with PayPal than type their card details into a website they have only just found. If your site cannot take PayPal, some of them will wait to call you, and some will not come back.
Connect your PayPal business account to Vehiso and buyers can pay a deposit or reservation fee with PayPal from any vehicle listing or payment request. The vehicle is reserved and the payment is recorded against the deal automatically.
Offer PayPal on its own or alongside card payments, and let each buyer choose.
Why dealers add PayPal to their website
A familiar way to pay makes it easier for a buyer to commit, and every buyer who commits online is one fewer enquiry that goes cold waiting for a callback.
A checkout buyers already trust
Buyers pay with the PayPal account they use everywhere else, so there is no new checkout to size up and no card number to hand to a site they have only just discovered. Familiarity is often what turns interest into a deposit.
Vehicles reserve themselves automatically
As soon as a PayPal payment is captured, the vehicle is marked as reserved in your stock, so other buyers see it as reserved rather than available and you stop fielding enquiries on a car that is already spoken for.
Every payment lands against the right deal
Deposits, reservation fees and full payments taken through PayPal are recorded against the deal in the Vehiso DMS automatically. There is one place to see what has been paid on a car, instead of a PayPal account in one tab and your DMS in another.
Open for business around the clock
PayPal payments through Vehiso work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a buyer browsing on a Sunday evening can secure the car there and then rather than waiting for your showroom to open.
What the PayPal integration includes
The PayPal integration for car dealers is included in every paid Vehiso plan, with no separate add-on fee.
Pay with PayPal from the listing
A PayPal button sits in the reservation step on every vehicle listing, so buyers can pay a deposit or reservation fee without leaving your website to find another way to pay.
Payment requests paid by PayPal
When you send a buyer a payment request from the DMS, they can settle it with PayPal from the payment page, just as they would on a listing.
Automatic vehicle reservation
The moment a PayPal payment is captured, the vehicle is marked as reserved in your stock list, so it stops showing as available to other buyers.
Recorded against the deal automatically
Every PayPal payment is logged against the relevant deal in the Vehiso DMS as soon as it is taken, ready for your team to see.
Refunds from the DMS
If a deal falls through, refund a PayPal payment from the deal in Vehiso, with the refund recorded alongside the original payment.
No platform fees from Vehiso
Vehiso does not charge a platform fee or take a cut of payments taken through PayPal. PayPal's own standard fees apply to each transaction, so you know exactly what you keep from every deposit.
