This week, PayNearMe, a fintech operation working to optimize the payment experience, announced a strategic integration with Emotive Software, an all-in-one platform with artificial intelligence-driven automation for dealers.

According to a news release, the partnership natively integrates PayNearMe’s modern, flexible payments platform directly into Emotive’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, enabling seamless payments without the need to switch between multiple screens and platforms.

“Together, we’re helping automotive dealers improve operational efficiency and offer more convenient ways to pay,” said Bruce Gaskill, who is senior director of integration partnerships with PayNearMe. “We go beyond processing— we manage the end-to-end payment experience. Our goal is simple: enable dealers to get paid faster, at the lowest total cost of acceptance.”

Through the integration, Emotive clients can now accept a wide range of payment methods — including PayPal, Venmo, Cash App Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, ACH, and cash at retail — within a single, user-friendly interface.

The companies added this collaboration reflects their commitment to innovation and efficiency, helping automotive businesses increase on-time payments, simplify collections and elevate the customer experience.

“PayNearMe gives our clients a clear competitive edge by enabling modern payment experiences within the Emotive platform,” Emotive Software president and CEO Allen Dobbins said. “We’re especially excited by PayNearMe’s Smart Link technology, which lets customers make one-click payments without passwords or app downloads.”
