Express pay buttons
Cash or card in one tap for the standard sale.
A fast car wash checkout: three taps to paid
The line on a sunny Saturday is where washes win or lose money. Big buttons, express cash and card, no customer lookup unless you want it — and the car is paid before the window is up.
How fast checkout works, step by step
The same order the software asks for it.
-
Tap the wash
Big, colour-coded buttons for your tiers.
-
Tap the add-on (or don't)
Add-ons for that tier appear right there.
-
Tap express pay
Express cash or card buttons complete the sale without the payment screen.
Fast checkout: the short answer
A fast car wash checkout lets the attendant sell the most common transaction — one wash, maybe an add-on, paid by card or cash — in as few steps as possible. In GetCarWashPOS that is three taps: the package, the add-on and an express payment button, with the full checkout one tap away for everything else.
Count the taps
A Deluxe wash with tire shine paid by card; prices are sample menu prices in your currency.

| 3 · Express card | Paid via your processor; receipt printed or skipped | Done |
Sell in the lane on busy days
On peak days, a second attendant with a tablet walks the queue and takes payment before the car reaches the entrance. Same account, same menu, same day-end report.

Gift cards and points
Redeem at checkout with the rest of the payment.
Split payments
Part card, part cash, part gift card.

What it won't do (so you can plan for it)
- Card payments run through the processor you choose; reader speed and approval time are theirs.
- Unattended pay stations / kiosks need hardware from a kiosk vendor and an integration; ask on your demo.
Fast checkout: questions
How fast can a car wash checkout be?
For the common sale — one wash and an add-on — three taps in GetCarWashPOS: the package, the add-on and an express pay button. Card approval time then depends on your processor.
What are express checkout buttons?
Buttons on the POS screen that finish the sale with one payment method (for example cash for the exact amount, or card) without opening the full payment screen.
Can I split a payment?
Yes. Open the full payment screen to split between card, cash, gift card, loyalty points or a fleet account.
Do I need to look up the customer?
No. Walk-in sales can be anonymous. Look-ups are there for members, fleets and loyalty when you want them.
Can I use a tablet in the lane?
Yes. The POS runs in a browser, so a tablet or phone with your processor's card reader can take payment in the queue.
Which card processors work?
GetCarWashPOS works with the processor you choose for card payments; we do not process cards or take a percentage. Ask on your demo which processors and readers are supported in your country.
Does it print receipts?
Yes, to a receipt printer, or not at all if the customer does not want one. Receipt layout, language and tax display are set per location.
How many registers can I run?
Bay includes two, Tunnel and Network four per location. Extra registers are $15/mo each.
