Towing & Roadside Payments

Towing happens at the roadside, at 2 a.m., often with a stressed customer. Some states require tow and storage operators to accept credit cards. Roots sets up mobile payments and text-to-pay for drivers, card acceptance for impound lots, and payouts for drivers and subcontractors.
