Stripe: deposits and payments, settled straight to you

A deposit agreed on Monday that lands on Thursday is a deposit that might not land at all. The longer the gap between agreeing and paying, the more the sale wobbles.

What the integration gives you

Fuzey brings Stripe in as a Native integration. Deposits and payments settle directly to your account, by bank transfer or card, from a link sent straight in the WhatsApp chat.

The customer pays while they are still talking to you. The confirmation comes back into the same conversation, and the funds are in your account, not floating in someone else's system.

Why it matters on the shop floor

Paying in the chat removes the pause that loses deposits. The customer agrees and pays in the same breath, so the sale is locked in before they have time to reconsider or be approached elsewhere.

It also takes the chasing off the advisor's desk. There is no 'I'll call you tomorrow about the deposit' and no follow-up. The link is there, the customer pays, and the conversation moves on.

A deposit paid in the conversation is a sale that has actually happened. One promised for later is still a maybe.

How it fits the day to day

Sales take deposits the moment they are agreed, over card or bank transfer. Service take balances before the car is collected, so handovers happen on time.

Because it is Native, the payment sits in the same thread as the sale it belongs to. There is no reconciliation gap and no doubt about what was paid for which car.
