Buy here pay here software without the BHPH surcharge

Payment ledger, payment schedules, deal jacket, compliance, and your own dealer website — in one modern DMS for $29/month, flat. No per-account fees, no financing module priced like a second rent.

Everything a BHPH lot runs on

Built by a dealer who runs his own independent lot — not a software company guessing at the job.

Payment ledger & schedule

Structure the note, generate the schedule, and record every payment against the balance. Who's current, who's behind, and what's outstanding — visible without a spreadsheet.

BHPH deals in the same deal jacket

Cash, outside finance, or in-house — one deal screen. Amount financed, APR, term, and payment math computed live as you structure the deal.

Compliance stored with the deal

OFAC screening, FTC Red Flags, Adverse Action, Buyers Guide, odometer disclosure — generated and archived per deal, ready if a regulator or lender asks.

E-sign the note and the deal jacket

Get the buyer and co-buyer to e-sign the retail installment contract and every deal document — in person on a tablet or by a link to their phone. ESIGN/UETA audit trail, no per-signature fees.

CRM built for repeat BHPH customers

Payment history and deal history live on the customer record. Driver's license numbers encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM).

Outside lenders & F&I products

Not every deal is in-house. Save your outside lenders and warranty / service-contract providers once — pick them on a deal and the lienholder block fills on the contract and title forms, with service-contract pricing folded into the F&I back-end.

Your website + lead inbox included

Inventory auto-syncs to a public site on your domain. Leads land in the inbox with automatic replies — no extra website vendor.

Know your real numbers

Sales reporting plus free dealer tools — profit margin, floor plan cost, and license cost calculators — to keep the whole operation honest.

Running in-house notes on a spreadsheet?

Bring your inventory and customers over by CSV, set each open note up on its deal, and see your whole book — schedule, ledger, and balance — in one place. $29/month, free to try — cancel any time.

What BHPH software usually costs

BHPH-capable platforms package in-house financing differently. Frazer's Desktop plan is $129/month with buy here pay here and accounting included (Hosted starts at $199/month), but no website. DealerCenter's DMS is $99/month plus a $50/month Buy Here Pay Here module — $149/month before a website, $298/month with its website and listing-feed modules. Others only quote on a call. Every line item is in Frazer pricing, explained and DealerCenter pricing, explained. DealerVLO includes the BHPH ledger and schedule in the same flat $29/month as everything else, because a small lot's financing book shouldn't cost more to track than it does to build.

How in-house financing works in DealerVLO

A buy-here-pay-here deal is the same deal jacket as a cash sale, with the note on top. The flow is built for the owner who is also the finance manager:

  1. 1
    Structure the note
    On the deal, enter the amount financed, APR, term, and payment frequency. The payment amount and totals compute live as you type.
  2. 2
    Generate the schedule
    DealerVLO builds the full payment schedule from those terms — due dates and amounts, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
  3. 3
    Record payments to the ledger
    Every payment posts against the running balance. The customer record shows paid-to-date, remaining balance, and next due date.
  4. 4
    See who's behind
    The book shows current vs. past-due at a glance, so you know exactly who to call before it becomes a repo.
  5. 5
    Keep compliance with the deal
    OFAC, FTC Red Flags, Adverse Action, Buyers Guide, and odometer disclosure generate and file with the deal automatically.

What to look for in BHPH software

Shopping BHPH platforms? These are the things that actually decide whether the software helps or just adds a bill:

The ledger has to be trustworthy
A BHPH book lives or dies on the payment ledger. Every payment posts against the balance, due dates are unambiguous, and 'who's behind' is a glance, not a reconciliation. If you'd still keep a shadow spreadsheet, the software failed.
Watch the per-account and module fees
Many DMS platforms price the financing module separately and add a per-active-account fee, so your software bill grows with your book. A flat price means a healthy portfolio doesn't quietly become your second-biggest expense.
Compliance can't be a bolt-on
In-house financing pulls in OFAC, FTC Red Flags, and Adverse Action. Those artifacts should be generated and stored with the deal automatically — not something you assemble by hand if a regulator or a floor-plan lender asks.
One system beats a stack of tools
Inventory, deal jacket, notes, CRM, and your website in one place means a payment, a title, and a listing all reference the same record. A separate BHPH module bolted onto three other vendors is where numbers drift.

BHPH software FAQ

What is BHPH software?

Buy-here-pay-here (BHPH) software manages in-house financed deals: the payment schedule, the running ledger of what each customer has paid and owes, late/missed payment visibility, and the paperwork behind the note. In DealerVLO it's part of the same DMS that runs your inventory, deal jacket, and website — not a separate module.

How much does DealerVLO BHPH software cost?

$29/month flat — the same single plan as everything else. There's no per-account fee, no BHPH module surcharge, and no per-user pricing. For comparison, Frazer's Desktop plan (BHPH included) is $129/month, and DealerCenter's $99/month DMS plus its $50/month Buy Here Pay Here module is $149/month before a website.

Does it handle the payment schedule and ledger?

Yes. Structure the note on the deal (amount financed, APR, term, payment frequency), and DealerVLO generates the payment schedule and keeps a running ledger per customer — every payment recorded against the balance, with due dates and what's outstanding visible at a glance.

Does it work for a small BHPH operation?

That's exactly who it's for. DealerVLO was built by an independent dealer for lots running 10–50 cars, where the owner is also the finance department. Setup is self-serve, there's a 14-day free trial, and CSV import brings over your inventory and customers. Each open note is set up on its deal, and the schedule builds from the amount financed, rate, term, and next due date.

What about compliance on BHPH deals?

Every deal jacket carries the federal documents (Bill of Sale, FTC Buyers Guide, Federal Odometer Disclosure), state title forms where supported, and compliance artifacts — OFAC screening, FTC Red Flags, and Adverse Action records — stored with the deal.

Can I move my existing BHPH accounts into DealerVLO?

Partly. CSV import brings over your inventory and customers, but not loan balances or payment history. You set up each open note on its deal — amount financed, rate, term, and next due date — and DealerVLO builds the schedule and ledger from there. For a small book that's an afternoon.

How does DealerVLO handle the note's interest, term, and schedule?

You structure the note on the deal — amount financed, APR, term, and payment frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) — and DealerVLO computes the payment amount, generates the full schedule, and posts each payment against the running balance. No amortization spreadsheet to maintain.

Can I check my accounts from anywhere?

DealerVLO is web-based, so it runs in any browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone — no install, no server on the lot. Pull up who's current and who's behind from the desk or the auction lane.
