Payments tuned for auto detailing
For Auto Detailing, how you take payment day to day decides what your statement actually costs. Your reality on the ground: on-site and mobile payments.
For Auto Detailing, how you take payment day to day decides what your statement actually costs. Your reality on the ground: on-site and mobile payments, recurring packages, and tip handling built for detailers. We see statements go sideways when in-person sales billed at higher tiers than they actually qualify for stacks with no clean way to take payment in the field or on the go. Gateway focuses on best card-present pricing: we make sure every swipe, dip, and tap settles at the lowest qualified interchange tier. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from auto detailing before a savings review.
- In-person sales billed at higher tiers than they actually qualify for
- No clean way to take payment in the field or on the go
- Recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards
- Tip adjustments and high transaction counts quietly inflating fees
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
