What is Cigo Pay?
Cigo Pay is an integrated payment solution within the Cigo Tracker ecosystem that enables businesses to collect, manage, and reconcile payments made during deliveries. It supports multiple payment methods, including cash, debit, credit, and mobile payments, helping to eliminate the friction of manual reconciliation.
This feature is especially valuable for businesses offering services such as furniture delivery, appliance installation, or other in-home services where payments are often collected at the point of delivery. With Cigo Pay, your drivers can accept payments through the app, reducing errors and improving the customer experience.

How Cigo Pay Works
The Cigo Pay system is intuitive and easy to use:
- Step 1: Delivery Completion When a delivery is completed, the driver prompts the customer for payment via the mobile app.
- Step 2: Payment Method Selection The customer chooses their preferred payment method—cash, credit/debit card, or mobile wallet.
- Step 3: Payment Confirmation The driver inputs or scans payment details, and the app confirms receipt.
- Step 4: Real-Time Sync The transaction is logged in the system instantly and becomes visible to dispatchers and finance teams.
- Step 5: Automatic Reconciliation At the end of the day or shift, all payments are automatically matched with their corresponding orders, simplifying accounting and reporting.
Industries That Benefit Most from Cigo Pay
While Cigo Pay is valuable for any delivery-based business, it is particularly beneficial for:
- Furniture and appliance retailers – On-site payments for delivered products.
- White-glove delivery services—Premium delivery services with installation or setup.
- Service technicians—On-demand services like HVAC, plumbing, or electrical repairs.
- Courier and parcel companies – Collecting COD (cash-on-delivery) payments.
Any business that needs reliable, trackable payment solutions at the delivery point can benefit significantly from integrating Cigo Pay into their operations.
Why Choose Cigo Pay Over Third-Party Payment Apps

- One app for drivers
- One dashboard for managers
- Unified data across operations
This all-in-one approach saves money, increases transparency, and reduces training time for new staff.
