What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Efficiency and Revenue in Your Operations
Accelerated Deal Closures
Accelerate vehicle deal closures by integrating Stripe into your F&I workflow, processing financing approvals in under 2 minutes for loans up to $50,000. Dealerships report a 30% increase in monthly new and used vehicle sales, converting walk-in buyers to financed contracts without the typical 24-48 hour lender wait.
Centralized Transaction Oversight
Achieve centralized oversight of all automotive transactions, from down payments on sedans to service invoices for brake repairs, via a unified DMS-Stripe dashboard. This slashes end-of-month reconciliation time by 50%, allowing finance teams to prioritize lease negotiations over manual VIN-matching in spreadsheets.
Seamless Service-to-Sales Workflows
Enable seamless workflows linking Stripe payments to service records in your DMS, facilitating instant upsells such as tire packages or extended warranties during oil changes. Dealerships see a 20% boost in aftermarket revenue while ensuring PCI DSS compliance for all automotive finance transactions.
What Clients Say
"Prior to AIQ Labs' integration, our sales team wasted hours manually inputting Stripe payment data into CDK DMS during end-of-month rushes, causing errors in deal jackets. Now, it syncs in real-time—we closed 15 additional F&I deals last quarter, saving 20 hours of overtime and boosting our penetration rate by 12%."

We cut customer payment disputes by 70% and accelerated tech payouts for flat-rate jobs, improving retention during peak service hours."

What's Included
Common Questions
How does your Stripe integration handle high-volume dealership traffic during end-of-month pushes?
Our custom-built systems are engineered for peak loads, processing up to 500 transactions per hour without lag. We use advanced queuing and error-handling protocols, tested against real automotive scenarios like Black Friday sales rushes. For one client, this meant handling a 300% spike in financing approvals seamlessly, reducing wait times from 10 minutes to under 60 seconds per deal. Integration with your DMS ensures data flows instantly, maintaining efficiency even when your lot is full.
Will this work with our existing CDK Global DMS?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep integrations with CDK, Reynolds, and other DMS platforms used by dealerships. Our team maps Stripe's API to CDK's data structures, creating bidirectional sync for customer info, vehicle details, and payment status. This eliminates manual exports and imports that plague many operations. In a recent project, we connected it for a mid-sized dealership, cutting their data entry errors by 85% and speeding up month-end reporting by three days.
What about security for sensitive customer financing data?
Security is paramount in automotive finance. We implement enterprise-grade encryption, PCI DSS compliance, and role-based access controls tailored to dealership hierarchies. Stripe's robust security is enhanced with our custom AI monitoring for anomalies like unusual trade-in patterns. We've audited systems for clients facing strict state regulations, ensuring zero breaches in over five years. Your data stays protected, with full audit trails for every transaction from lead capture to final payment.
How long does it take to implement the integration?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most dealerships see a full rollout in 4-6 weeks. We start with a one-week discovery to map your workflows, followed by two weeks of building and testing against your live data scenarios—like service bay billing or sales floor approvals. The final week is for training and go-live support. One dealer went from fragmented payments to unified operations in just 28 days, immediately boosting their close rate by 18%.
Can this integration scale if we add more locations or services?
Yes, our architecture is designed for growth. We build modular systems that easily incorporate new branches or features like EV incentives processing. For a multi-location group, we scaled from three sites to seven without downtime, centralizing payments while allowing location-specific customizations. This future-proofs your setup, supporting expansions like adding collision centers, all within the same unified platform—no need for costly reworks.
Do you offer ongoing support after the integration?
We provide comprehensive post-launch support, including 24/7 monitoring and quarterly optimizations. Unlike one-and-done agencies, our team proactively tunes the system based on your transaction data, ensuring it adapts to seasonal shifts like tax season rebates. Clients receive dedicated account managers familiar with automotive ops, with response times under 2 hours. This has helped dealerships maintain 99% uptime, avoiding disruptions during critical sales periods.
