Payment solutions for roadside assistance providers

How each solution supports roadside assistance providers

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

Square Point of Sale

For roadside assistance providers: Bring towing calls, roadside services and storage charges into a point-of-sale workflow, with reporting organized around dispatch references, tow invoices and storage balances. Roadside assistance providers can take payment at the roadside with the Square Point of Sale app and keep every sale tied to a customer profile. Square Point of Sale is Square's POS app for taking payments in person, online or in the field. Roots sets up your items, services, taxes, permissions and devices so checkout is quick.
  • Choose the Square plan and hardware that fit your counter, trucks or bays
  • Import your catalog and customer list and set team permissions
  • Configure taxes, discounts, receipts and (if you use them) tips

Text to Pay

For roadside assistance providers: Send a payment request for towing calls, roadside services and storage charges by text so customers can pay against a specific order or invoice. When the customer isn't standing in front of you, a text link gets roadside assistance providers paid faster than a phone call. Text-to-pay sends a secure payment link by SMS so the customer pays from their phone instead of reading a card number over the phone.
  • Set up message templates and consent
  • Connect links to your invoices or dispatch software
  • Report on paid and unpaid requests

Merchant Account

For roadside assistance providers: Arrange a processing account for towing calls, roadside services and storage charges, with checkout methods matched to how customers pay. Typical tickets for roadside assistance providers run $50 to $250, and a merchant account's limits and pricing can be set for that range. A dedicated merchant account gives you custom pricing and processing limits set during underwriting. Roots uses it when Square isn't the right fit.
