Built for Automotive Software
Integrated automotive payment processing,
inside your platform
CSIPay is the embedded payments layer for dealership and repair shop software in the Constellation ecosystem. From the service counter to a payment link sent at repair order close, every dollar posts back to your product.
The repair order is not done until it is paid.
An auto repair shop lives and dies by the repair order. The estimate goes out for approval while the vehicle is on the lift, parts get special ordered against a deposit, and the customer wants to pay from their phone before they drive over for pickup. Integrated payments for auto repair have to follow that sequence, because a counter that can only take a card at pickup leaves the shop reading card numbers over the phone.
Dealership groups add another layer. Service, parts, and the cashier window each touch money, and a dealership payment processing solution has to keep those departments straight without three separate statements. CSIPay gives your platform automotive payments as a service: the payment step lives inside the repair order workflow you already own, and reconciliation follows the RO number, not a loose batch report.
Everything an automotive platform needs to run payments.
Pay at the service counter
Card present checkout at the cashier window or service desk, tied to the repair order so the payment closes the ticket.
Text to pay at RO close
Send a payment link when the repair order closes so customers pay from their phone before pickup, not in line at the counter.
Parts and special order deposits
Take a deposit against a special ordered part and collect the balance when the work is done, all on the same order record.
Fleet and account billing
Bill commercial and fleet accounts on the schedule your software defines, with payments posting back against the right account.
Security built in
Every transaction, at the counter or by link, is protected to PCI DSS Level 1.
Revenue for your platform
Automotive payment solutions become a revenue line for your software through our partnership and PayFac as a Service models.
Automotive merchant services from inside the ecosystem.
Most automotive merchant services are sold shop by shop by an outside processor, which leaves your software wrapped around a payments relationship you do not control. CSIPay was built the other way around: it is the embedded payments platform for Constellation Software and Jonas Group companies, so the processing relationship belongs to the platform and stays in the ecosystem.
The infrastructure underneath is proven at scale. More than 4,000 merchants run on CSIPay behind PCI DSS Level 1 security and a 99.9% uptime SLA, with coverage across the US and Canada, including card not present payments in Canada, which is exactly what a texted payment link is. Your shops get dependable checkout, and you get one accountable partner.

Automotive payment processing questions.
What is integrated automotive payment processing?
Integrated automotive payment processing means the payment step runs inside the dealership or shop management software instead of on a standalone terminal. With CSIPay embedded, a payment taken at the counter or by text link posts directly against the repair order, so the ticket and the money reconcile as one record.
Can customers pay a repair bill by text before pickup?
Yes. Your platform can send a payment link when the repair order closes, and the customer pays from their phone before they arrive. The payment posts back to the same order, so the counter sees a paid ticket at pickup.
How do parts deposits work on a special order?
The deposit is collected against the order when the part is requested, and the remaining balance is collected when the repair is complete. Both payments sit on the same order record, so the shop never chases a deposit across two systems.
Who handles payment compliance for the shops on our platform?
CSIPay does. The platform is certified to PCI DSS Level 1, and underwriting, settlement, and payment infrastructure are carried by Constellation Payments, so your team and your shops are not building a compliance program to take a card.
