Why dealers switch
Dealer money is big-ticket and time-critical. FireBuddy moves it at the speed the forecourt runs.
Buyer wants it? Deposit link on the spot โ it settles in seconds and the car moves to reserved with money. A โฌ500 deposit costs a flat โฌ0.30 to take, and the windscreen QR takes it while you're with the next customer.
A โฌ25,000 balance is where card terminals give up โ limits, holds, 1.5%+ fees. Bank-to-bank there is no ceiling: the buyer pays from their own account (or their business account), it lands in yours in seconds, flat โฌ0.30.
The finance house or the private seller becomes a payee โ paid with a remittance email, reconciled against the deal. The whole deal file โ deposit in, balance in, settlement out โ closes in one place.
Balance, warranty, delivery on one payment โ checkout add-ons attach the extras while the buyer is saying yes, not in a follow-up call they won't answer.
Add the Car Dealer section and run the whole sale in FireBuddy.
