Software for tracking payday advance loans

Payday loan software is a lending system for managing short-term cash-advance loans — it tracks borrowers and their contact details, stores loan schedules to auto-compute interest, fees and due dates, prints loan agreements, and keeps a full transaction history. PawnSmarts handles payday and short-term advance loans with the same speed it brings to pawn and retail, combining reliability, full functionality and genuine ease of use — without the bloated pricing of programs that nickel-and-dime you for "support."

What it does

Payday loan software keeps track of your clients, their contact information and their transactions. PawnSmarts stores default loan periods and rates (your loan schedules), so when you enter a loan the system automatically computes the interest, the due date and any additional fees — bad-check charges, late fees and the like. Your team can view customer history, communicate with borrowers, process loans and payments, run reports, and print loan agreements ready to sign.

Works offline. PawnSmarts runs on Windows, Mac, iPad, Android or any phone in a browser, and keeps working even when the internet drops — it auto-syncs the moment you're back online. Your data is secure, backed up and available from any station.

Fewer missed payments

Short-term loans live or die on getting repaid on time. On the Professional plan, PawnSmarts sends each borrower up to three automatic SMS and email reminders before the due date, each with a secure link to pay online. The loan updates instantly when they pay — from home, after hours, without a phone call — so you collect more and chase less.

Honest, affordable pricing

The most outstanding feature is the price. PawnSmarts is well under competing programs and there are no prepaid support fees, no setup fee and no contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does payday loan software do?

Payday loan software tracks borrowers, loans, payments, interest and due dates in one system. It stores default loan schedules so when you enter a new loan the software automatically computes the interest, due date and any fees. It prints loan agreements on plain paper, runs filterable reports, and keeps a full history for every borrower — all without a spreadsheet or paper ledger.

Can pawn software handle payday loans?

Yes — many pawn shop systems also manage payday and short-term advance loans, because both are short-term loans with interest, fees and due dates. PawnSmarts runs payday and short-term loans right alongside pawn tickets and retail sales: one login, one system, one set of customer records, with no need to switch between programs or reconcile separate databases.

How does payday loan software help reduce missed payments?

Automatic reminders before the due date prompt borrowers to pay on time, so fewer loans go past due. On the Professional plan, PawnSmarts sends each borrower up to three automatic SMS and email reminders, each with a secure link to pay online; the loan updates the instant they pay — after hours, from home, without a phone call — so you collect more and chase less.

How much does payday loan software cost?

Payday and short-term loan software is usually a monthly subscription, often well under $150 a month for a single store. PawnSmarts handles payday loans on every plan: $89/month for Essential, $129/month for Professional, or a one-time $2,995 for Professional — and free when you use its integrated card processing, with no setup fee and no contract.
