iPAYauto is an online auto payment portal — customer-facing payment collection, aimed at dealers carrying their own financing.
Included in autoSTRADA BHPH Comprehensive only, and available as a Build-Your-Own component.
Notably, iPAYauto is one of only two entries under "Products" in the VehiclesNETWORK site navigation (the other being autoSTRADA), and it links out to a separate domain rather than to a page on the VehiclesNETWORK site. That's a stronger signal of standalone-product status than VehicleBlaster or VirtualDEALER get.
- Function: online auto payment portal.
- Bundled in BHPH Comprehensive alongside customer billing profiles, which suggests recurring-payment / account management rather than one-time checkout.
- Has its own web presence at a separate domain.
- Which payment processors does it use?
- Card, ACH, or both? Recurring autopay?
- Compliance surface: what is the PCI scope? This matters more than anything else on this page — a chatbot must not answer payment-security questions from marketing copy.
- Is it sold to non-autoSTRADA customers as a standalone product?
- Who owns it — is it an ApogeeINVENT product, an AST product, or a partnership?
- What's the fee structure — per transaction, flat, or bundled?
