Running a business is challenging enough without getting bogged down in repetitive tasks. That’s where automation comes in. With PayJunction’s integration with Zapier, companies can connect their payment processing to thousands of apps—no coding required—so they can focus on what matters: serving customers.
Automation isn't just a nice-to-have for auto dealerships, veterinary clinics, and healthcare offices—it’s a game-changer. Let’s dive into how these industries can use Zapier to connect PayJunction with their favorite apps, streamline workflows, and work smarter, not harder.
Auto Dealerships: Keeping Finances in Gear
Auto dealerships juggle transactions across multiple departments—sales, service, and parts—making accurate record-keeping a must. Automating these financial processes saves time, reduces errors, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks. Here are Automated Zaps that Drive Value:
1. Track Deposits Without Lifting a Finger
- Apps to Connect: QuickBooks Online, Xero, Google Sheets
- How It Works: A Zap automatically logs daily deposits from PayJunction into a Google Sheet or accounting software, so finance teams always have up-to-date records—no manual entry required.
2. Stay on Top of Failed Payments
- Apps to Connect: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Gmail
- How It Works: If a customer’s payment is declined, a Zap instantly notifies the service advisor via Slack or email so they can follow up ASAP.
3. Follow Up with Customers Automatically
- Apps to Connect: HubSpot, Mailchimp, Salesforce
- How It Works: After a big-ticket purchase or service visit, a Zap can send a thank-you email, request a review, and update the CRM—all without staff lifting a finger.
4. Seamless Invoicing from Your Sales System
- Apps to Connect: Google Sheets, Zoho CRM, Salesforce
- How It Works: When a new sale is logged in a spreadsheet or CRM, a Zap triggers PayJunction to create a digital payment request and send it to the customer, keeping billing fast and efficient.
5. Capture Level 3 Data for Fleet Sales
- Apps to Connect: ERP Software, QuickBooks Online, Xero
- How It Works: When a corporate fleet customer purchases, a Zap pushes line-item details from your accounting software into PayJunction to qualify for lower interchange rates with Level 3 data offered by the card brands.
