Rotherham tech firm brings instant QR payments to London’s automotive market

Rotherham-based Gala Technology has introduced a secure QR code payment solution, through its award-winning SOTpay platform, that allows customers to finalise payment in the car immediately after a test drive. This eliminates delays, reduces the risk of lost sales, and creates a streamlined buying experience perfectly suited to London’s fast-paced automotive sector.

Closing the Deal Before the Engine Cools

“In London, customers expect speed, convenience, and service that fits their lifestyle,” said Jason Mace, CEO of Gala Technology. “SOTpay QR payments give dealerships the ability to close deals at the precise moment the customer’s enthusiasm is at its peak—without the walk back to the office and without the risk of hesitation. It’s efficient, secure, and customer-focused.”

Meeting the Demands of London’s Buyers

The process is simple yet effective. After the test drive, the salesperson presents a secure QR code—either on a tablet, laminated card, or digital device. The customer scans it, completes payment securely, and can drive away within minutes.

“It’s about matching the pace of the capital,” explains Jamie Parkin, Business Development Manager at Gala Technology. “London buyers don’t want paperwork delays—they want a quick, confident purchase. Our technology enables dealerships to deliver that seamless experience.”

Giving London Dealerships a Competitive Edge

With London’s automotive market more competitive than ever, the ability to offer secure, on-the-spot payment gives dealerships a clear advantage. The SOTpay system integrates with existing dealer operations, meaning minimal disruption and fast adoption.
