Retrying…

You didn’t start a scooter business to chase WhatsApps and Excel rows.

Chasing payments

Every Monday morning. Every Friday afternoon. Endless WhatsApps asking ‘did you pay?’

Lost track of who owes what

Excel sheets that never balance. Drivers behind by weeks before you notice.

Scooters disappearing

By the time you realise a driver hasn’t paid in a month, the bike is gone.

The solution

ScootBooks runs your fleet so you don’t have to.

The flow

From WhatsApp tap to your bank — in seconds.

Your driver gets a friendly Friday message, taps once, and pays securely by card. ScootBooks splits the payment automatically — the R25 platform fee comes off the top, and the net (R775 on an R800 weekly) lands in your bank account the same day.

  • No chasing, no calls, no “I’ll pay tomorrow”.
  • Every cent reconciled to the right scooter and driver.
  • WhatsApp confirmation sent automatically on success.

WhatsApp on autopilot

Services

Every service. Every scooter. Reconciled.

When drivers take their bikes in for service, you get a clear record. When the workshop sends their monthly invoice, ScootBooks matches it line by line — so you only pay for work that actually happened.

Per-scooter service history

See every service done on every bike since you bought it. Useful for warranty claims, resale value, and spotting bikes that are costing you too much.

Monthly invoice reconciliation

Upload the service centre’s monthly invoice. ScootBooks reads it, matches each line to a scooter, and flags anything that doesn’t match your records — before you pay.

Spend insights you can act on

Find out which bikes are draining your maintenance budget, which workshops are quietly overcharging, and where your fleet costs are heading.

Built around how your service centres already work. No bookings, no driver chasing. Just clear records and confidence at month-end.

How it works

From chaos to calm in one week.

  1. 1

    Add your scooters and drivers

    Upload your fleet, your drivers, and your contract terms. Takes an hour for a fleet of 50.

  2. 2

    Drivers save their card via WhatsApp

    Each driver gets a friendly WhatsApp message. They save their card once. That’s the only setup they need.

  3. 3

    Watch the payments roll in

    Every Friday, drivers tap to pay. You see every transaction in real time. We handle the chasing when things go wrong.

Built for South Africa

Made for the way you actually run your business.

  • Works with all South African banks including Capitec, FNB, Hello Paisa, and Mukuru cards
  • Drivers stay on WhatsApp — no app to install, no friction
  • Track SA ID, passport, and asylum permit holders — no driver left out
  • ZAR pricing, SAST timestamps, +27 phone formats throughout
  • Reconcile service centre tabs at month-end so you never overpay an invoice
  • Designed and supported in South Africa
“I used to spend Sunday nights doing my books. Now I just open ScootBooks and everything’s already done.”

How the fees work

The full picture — no surprises.

Driver paysR 800.00
Card processing fee (Paystack)− R 24.20
ScootBooks software fee− R 25.00
You receiveR 750.80

There are two fees on every transaction. The first is a card processing fee — what it costs to safely move money from a driver's card into your bank account. This goes to Paystack, the licensed payment company that handles the actual card transactions for us. It's the same kind of fee any South African business pays to accept card payments. The second is our ScootBooks software fee for managing your fleet, sending WhatsApps, and reconciling everything.
