Integrate with MyKaarma for Sales Department deposits or payments!
MyKaarma is a well know automotive dealer platform with multi-department payments built on Stripe with negotiated rates that can be under 2.9%. We use this for everything from parts, sales, service, loaner, and body shop payments. The Stripe API for payment intents could be used to integrate easily to collect down payments and immediately associate them with the customer DMS record.
MyKaarma has a good open API with payments documentation here: https://docs.mykaarma.com/our-products/payments/API/
Integrating with a large automotive partner like this that is already in 10,000+ dealers would probably benefit many users of DriveCentric.
