How does Kimoby Mobile Payments work?

Kimoby Mobile Payments lets service advisors send a secure payment link by text message directly from the repair order. The customer opens the link on their phone and pays by credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The payment syncs back automatically to the dealership management system.

What payment methods does Kimoby Mobile Payments accept?

Kimoby Mobile Payments accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, UnionPay, JCB, Diners Club, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Does Kimoby Mobile Payments integrate with the DMS?

Yes. Kimoby Mobile Payments is designed to connect directly to your dealership management system (DMS) so that payment requests are created from repair orders and completed payments are reflected back automatically, without manual entry.

Do customers need to download an app to pay?

No. Customers receive a text message with a secure payment link. They click the link on any device and complete the payment in their browser — no app download required.

Does Kimoby Mobile Payments reduce wait times at the dealership?

Yes. Because customers can pay remotely by text before picking up their vehicle, they skip the cashier line entirely. This reduces wait times and improves the service experience and CSI scores.

Can dealerships issue refunds through Kimoby Mobile Payments?

Yes. Kimoby Mobile Payments supports full and partial refunds. Refunds typically appear on the customer's credit card statement within five to ten business days.

Is Kimoby Mobile Payments available in Canada?
