New Year, New Way of Saving with Fiserv Integration

Another year, another pile of credit card processing fees eating into your bottom line.

If you’re tired of watching small yet big every transaction disappear into processing costs—plus all the headaches that come with re-keying payments, reconciling mismatched totals, and dealing with terminals that don’t talk to your DMS—it’s time to try a different approach.

Blackpurl 2 now integrates with Integrated Clover Payment Terminals, built specifically to help dealerships cut costs and eliminate double entry.

Stop Re-Keying Every Payment

Here’s the thing about most payment processing setups: they create more work than they save.

You ring up a sale in your DMS, then re-key the same total into your card terminal. When the payment goes through, you manually record it back in your system. End of day? You’re stuck reconciling totals that should match but somehow don’t.

Fiserv and Blackpurl 2 integration fixes this.

Seamless Counter and Mobile Processing

With Fiserv integration, your totals pass directly from Blackpurl 2 to the terminal—no re-keying required. Accept payments at the counter or on the go with mobile terminals that sync everything automatically.

Here’s how it actually works:

Ring up the sale once in Blackpurl 2 – Total passes directly to your integrated Clover payment terminal
Customer pays – Approvals, declines, and refunds sync back instantly to your DMS
End-of-day reconciliation actually adds up – Because the numbers come from the same source
Counter and mobile options – Process payments wherever the deal happens

No manual entry. No hunting for missing transactions. No “where did this charge come from?” moments at closing.

The Hidden Costs of Disconnected Payment Processing

Beyond the obvious processing fees, disconnected payment systems cost dealerships in ways most owners never calculate:

Labor costs. Your office manager spends 2-3 hours daily reconciling payments that should match automatically. At $20/hour, that’s $10,000-15,000 annually just in reconciliation time.
Error costs. Miskeyed payments, double charges, lost transactions. Every mistake costs time to fix and potentially damages customer relationships.
Cash flow delays. When payments don’t sync properly, you don’t know your real daily position until everything’s reconciled. In a cash-sensitive business, this matters.
Compliance risks. Handling card data across multiple systems increases PCI compliance complexity. One integrated system reduces your liability footprint.
Customer experience. Long checkout processes, multiple card runs for complex transactions, receipt confusion—all of this affects how customers perceive your professionalism.

What Fiserv Integration Actually Delivers

Faster, more accurate transactions. No more toggling between your DMS and a separate terminal. Complex dealership transactions process smoothly without manual intervention.
Cleaner daily reconciliation. When payments sync automatically with proper transaction coding, your daily close actually closes. Your bookkeeper spends time on analysis instead of data entry.
Dealership-appropriate rates and terms. Fiserv understands seasonal volume, large transaction amounts, and the integration requirements of dealership financing.
Mobile flexibility for real dealership needs. Close deals anywhere—on the lot, at trade shows, during deliveries—with terminals that handle dealership-sized transactions securely.
Reduced PCI compliance complexity. One integrated system instead of multiple payment touchpoints means simpler compliance and reduced liability.

Beyond Payment Processing: Strategic Business Benefits

When your payment processing integrates seamlessly with your DMS, you gain visibility and control that generic processors can’t provide:

Real-time cash position. Know exactly where you stand financially without waiting for end-of-day reconciliation.
Better customer financing coordination. Integrated payments work seamlessly with financing approvals and complex deal structures.
Cleaner financial reporting. Payments automatically post to correct accounts with proper transaction coding for dealership-specific reporting needs.
Improved staff efficiency. Less time on administrative tasks means more time selling and serving customers.
