Payments

Half in cash at the car, the rest by EFT, and the books still add up.

Money reaches a South African driving school in pieces: cash handed to the instructor, an EFT a few days later, a package paid up front. DriveSync records every payment against the lesson, package or test fee it belongs to, so each learner has one balance and you know who owes what before the lesson starts.

How it works

  1. 1

    Record it how it arrived

    Cash, card, EFT or other, against a lesson, a package or a test fee. Split one package across as many payments as it takes.

  2. 2

    Flag what to collect

    Flag a lesson and the instructor sees how much to collect on their phone. The flag clears itself once the learner is paid up.

  3. 3

    Approve before it counts

    Switch it on and any payment an instructor records waits for your OK before it reaches your totals.

Questions

Can a learner pay part in cash and part by EFT?

Yes. Record each payment as it comes in, with its own method. DriveSync adds them up against the lesson or package, and the balance updates straight away.

How do I know cash given to an instructor reached the business?

Turn on payment confirmation. A payment an instructor records then waits for your approval before it counts towards your totals.

Will my instructors see what learners pay?

Not unless you allow it. By default instructors see no payment details. You can let them see whether a lesson is paid, the amount to collect, or the full picture.
