Stripe Integration for Car Dealers
Vehiso includes a built-in Stripe integration for car dealers, so buyers can pay a deposit, reservation fee or the full price online, 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, with no phone calls or bank transfers to chase.
Over 100 dealer websites built and counting
Deposit paid

Capture the sale the moment a buyer is ready
A buyer finds the car they want on your website at 9pm, on a Sunday, or on a lunch break, and wants to secure it before anyone else can. Without a way to pay there and then, dealers rely on the buyer calling back during office hours, or waiting for a bank transfer to clear, and by the time either happens the buyer may already have found another car. The Stripe integration for car dealers built into Vehiso closes that gap. For a dealer with tight margins, losing even one sale a week to a slow follow-up call adds up fast.
Connect your Stripe account to Vehiso once and every vehicle listing on your website can accept a deposit, a reservation fee or a full payment by card, at any time of day. As soon as the buyer pays, the vehicle is automatically marked as reserved in your stock list and the transaction is recorded against the deal in the DMS, so your team sees it the moment they are next online - no reconciling receipts or matching bank statements required. There is nothing to chase up later - the record of who paid what, and when, is already sitting against the deal.
This is not a payment link you have to generate and send manually for every inquiry. The Vehiso Stripe integration for car dealers works directly from the vehicle listing itself, so taking a deposit becomes as simple for the buyer as any other online purchase, and as simple for you as checking your dashboard. Whether it is a £250 reservation fee on a budget hatchback or a larger deposit on a premium car, the process on your website looks and feels the same.
Why dealers connect Stripe to their website
Buyers expect to be able to pay online. Making that possible, without leaving your DMS, is what the Stripe integration is for. It also means fewer missed enquiries and fewer buyers who simply move on to whichever dealer makes it easiest to commit.
Take a deposit the instant a buyer decides
A buyer browsing your website out of hours can pay a deposit or reservation fee straight from the vehicle listing, without waiting for you to open, answer the phone or send an invoice. The listing does the selling and the collecting at the same time, at 2am as easily as 2pm.
Vehicles reserve themselves automatically
As soon as a Stripe payment is taken, the vehicle is marked as reserved in your stock, so you stop taking calls about a car that has effectively already been sold. Other buyers browsing the same listing see it as reserved rather than available, so you stop fielding duplicate enquiries on stock that is already spoken for.
Every payment lands against the right deal
Deposits, reservation fees and full payments taken through Stripe are recorded automatically against the deal in the Vehiso DMS, with nothing to key in by hand or reconcile later. There is one place to check what has been paid on a car, rather than a Stripe dashboard in one tab and a DMS screen in another.
Available around the clock
Stripe payments through Vehiso work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a buyer can secure a car outside your opening hours instead of moving on to a dealer who lets them. Weekends and evenings are when a lot of car browsing happens, and now they can also be when a car gets sold.
What the Stripe integration includes
The Stripe integration for car dealers is included in every Vehiso plan, with no separate add-on fee.
Pay directly from the listing
Buyers can pay a deposit, reservation fee or the full price directly from a vehicle listing on your website, without being sent to a separate checkout site.
Secure card payments via Stripe
Payments are processed through Stripe, a widely recognized and trusted payment provider, so buyers feel confident entering their card details on your site. You are not asking buyers to trust an unfamiliar checkout screen or a payment processor they have never heard of.
Automatic vehicle reservation
The moment a payment is taken, 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 Stripe payment is logged against the relevant deal in the Vehiso DMS as soon as it is taken, ready for your team to see.
Accept payments 24/7
Because payment happens online through Stripe, buyers can pay at any time, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays when your showroom is closed. There is no need for someone to be on site, or even awake, for a payment to be taken and a vehicle to be secured.
No platform fees from
Vehiso does not charge a platform fee or take a cut of payments taken through Stripe. Stripe's own standard processing fees apply to each transaction. You know exactly what you will keep from every deposit, with no surprise platform charge to budget for.
