Full driving school software often tries to run everything, from classroom rosters to state reporting. Many independent schools and solo instructors need something narrower: a way for families to request lessons, pay for them and sign the paperwork, without a phone call for each step.
KadePay handles behind-the-wheel lessons as booking requests you confirm, with a pickup location on each appointment. Driving lesson packages count down as lessons are used, and a parent can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or a payment plan you agree on. Road test prep and the use of your car on test day can be sold with a fixed-amount link.
For minors, the parent consent form matters as much as the payment. Build it once with the permit number, emergency contact and your no-show policy, and every family signs it on their phone before the first drive. Signed copies stay on the profile.
KadePay does not report hours to the DMV or issue completion certificates, so keep your state records where they are today. Use it as the driving instructor app for scheduling requests, payments, forms and student notes, and download transactions when your accountant asks.
