Together, we launched DrivePay, a fully integrated payment acceptance solution embedded directly inside the DRIVE platform, designed to simplify operations, improve the customer experience, and create long-term value for automotive shop owners.
DRIVE has spent more than 30 years helping independent operators run stronger, more profitable businesses. With DrivePay, they’re extending that mission into payments — removing friction from daily workflows and delivering a seamless, end-to-end payments experience inside their ERP environment.
By embedding payment acceptance directly into the platform, DRIVE customers can:
The DrivePay solution is powered by the combined strengths of Propelr’s merchant services expertise and FreedomPay’s enterprise-grade commerce technology.
Serving as the general contractor, Propelr delivers a high-touch, consultative merchant services model that ensures DrivePay remains competitive, scalable, and fully supported.
Through our flexible approach, we’re helping DRIVE:
Our role is simple but critical: make payments work seamlessly behind the scenes so DRIVE can focus on delivering value to its customers.
FreedomPay provides the secure, data-driven platform powering DrivePay transactions across channels.
Its Next Level Commerce™ platform enables:
This modern orchestration layer allows DRIVE to deliver a consistent and secure payments experience across every customer interaction.
For independent repair shops, truck service centers, and tow operators, payments are more than just transactions — they’re a critical part of the customer experience and overall business health.
DrivePay helps shops:
Because DrivePay is embedded directly into DRIVE’s ecosystem, shops don’t need to manage separate systems or vendors — everything works together inside the platform they already rely on.
The launch of DrivePay highlights a broader trend across software platforms: payments are becoming core infrastructure, not an add-on.
By bringing together DRIVE’s industry expertise, Propelr’s merchant services strategy, and FreedomPay’s global payments technology, this partnership creates a model for how vertical software platforms can deliver more value, stickier relationships, and stronger business outcomes for their customers.
The DrivePay launch reinforces Propelr’s position as a fast-growing payments provider helping software platforms unlock the full value of embedded payments. By combining modern technology with a service-first approach, we enable our partners to enhance the customer experience, drive new revenue opportunities, and future-proof their payments strategy.
As software platforms continue to prioritize integrated payments, we remain focused on delivering customized, high-performance payment solutions designed around our clients’ unique business goals.
