KADEPAY FOR TOWING & ROADSIDE
Payments in towing happen on the worst day of someone's week, often on a dark shoulder or at the yard gate. KadePay lets you take Tap to Pay on a compatible phone, key a card while the customer is on the phone, and text a bill with photos of the vehicle.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Towing money is collected at bad moments: on the shoulder, at the yard window after hours, or from a family member three states away. These are the spots where tow operators lose time or money, and how KadePay helps.
It is 11 PM, the customer has a phone and a dead battery, and the old reader in the cab keeps losing its pairing.
With KadePay
Take contactless cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay with Tap to Pay on a compatible phone running the KadePay app after payment setup. No separate reader to charge or pair.
Tap to Pay and card readersThe college student is broken down on the interstate, and the parent paying for the tow is at home asking you to take their card.
With KadePay
Text the bill to whoever is paying, with the pickup and drop-off spelled out, or use New Charge to take card payments by phone while you have them on the line.
Ways to get paidThe owner shows up at the impound lot at 7 PM with a cousin, a printout and a lot of questions, and the card machine is in the office.
With KadePay
Post a Store Pay Direct QR at the yard window. The owner scans it, enters the impound release fee you quote, and pays; your staff confirm the payment in Transactions before the gate opens.
Payment links and QR codesTwo weeks after a tow, the owner says you scraped the bumper. Your driver remembers it was already cracked, but memory is not proof.
With KadePay
Drivers take photos before hooking up and save them to a Gallery folder on the customer's profile. Attach them to the towing invoice so the condition is on the record from the start.
Customer profiles and notesThe tow slip with the customer's signature and drop-off address ends up soaked, smudged or under the seat by the end of the shift.
With KadePay
Send a tow authorization form the customer signs on their own phone, with the destination, the rate you agreed and your storage terms. It stays with their profile, not in the cab.
Forms and signaturesHow it fits your week
A stranded driver, or a parent on their behalf, calls. You agree the rate, take the card with New Charge, or text a bill they can pay before the truck arrives.
The driver takes condition photos, the customer signs the tow authorization on their phone, and payment goes through with Tap to Pay on a compatible phone.
When a vehicle goes to the yard, private notes on the profile record the plate, the lot spot and the date it came in, so vehicle storage fees are easy to total at release.
The owner scans the QR at the yard window and pays the agreed total, or pays the bill you texted earlier. Staff confirm it in Transactions and release the vehicle.
Every tow, jump start and release lands in one transaction list your bookkeeper can download, with refunds handled from the same place.
Every way your customers pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.

Each tool writes to the same customer record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for towing
Tow truck credit card processing has a few hard requirements. It has to work at the roadside, it has to handle a payer who is not at the scene, and it has to leave a record your bookkeeper can match later. KadePay covers those with Tap to Pay on a compatible phone, New Charge for cards by phone and texted bills.
Roadside assistance payments are usually small and fast: a jump start, a tire change, a fuel delivery. A printed QR in the truck or a link by text keeps the customer from fishing for a card in the rain, and the payment shows up next to every other call that night.
Impound work is different. The impound release fee is collected at a window, often after hours, from someone who is already upset. A Store Pay Direct QR at the window and condition photos on file make the conversation shorter and the record clearer for everyone.
KadePay does not take calls, assign trucks or bill motor clubs. Keep your towing management system for that, and use KadePay for the customer side of the money: on scene, by phone and at the gate.
