You're in good hands
Ekho is like Shopify, but for vehicle purchases. We power the checkout and purchase experience for leading dealers and brands, handling everything from financing and payment to DMV work.

How buying online with Ekho works
Complete checkout
Start by entering Checkout from the dealer or brand's website. You'll provide your information and select how you'd like to pay — financing, credit card, ACH transfer, or Klarna (depending on what's available). You'll also choose whether you want your vehicle delivered to your home or if you'd prefer to pick it up.Finalize payment
If you're financing, you'll complete a short credit application.If approved: you'll receive offers from our integrated lenders, compare terms, and accept the one that works best for you. In some cases, your financing offer may be based on clearing certain conditions. These will all be surfaced in the portal. Once you have an offer, you'll sign your financing documents and make your down payment — all online.
If denied: you will be prompted to pay in full or can provide a co-applicant's information to potentially receive an offer.
If you're paying in full, your payment is processed and confirmed.
Add protection (optional) and upload insurance
You may have the option to add protection plans like extended warranties, GAP insurance, or tire and wheel coverage. Choose the coverage level that fits your needs, or skip this step entirely — it's completely optional.If purchasing a street-legal and/or financed vehicle, you may be required to provide proof of insurance as well. The requirements for this will be surfaced in your portal and the Ekho team will review your policy within 1 business day.
Finalize your purchase
Once required steps are completed, you'll be prompted to sign your bill of sale, financing contract (if applicable), and any other contractual documents to complete your sale. These documents will surface in your buyer portal.
Complete titling and registration
Ekho handles your DMV paperwork. You'll confirm your personal details, upload any required documents, and sign your pre-filled titling and registration forms — electronically in the vast majority of states. The state might require proof of liability insurance depending on your vehicle; if so, we'll give you a heads-up and connect you with relevant insurance carriers.Receive your new ride
Once everything is approved, your vehicle is either delivered to your home or made available for pickup at your selected location. You'll receive tracking updates along the way, and the selling dealer or brand coordinates the entire fulfillment process.Get your plates and/or title (if applicable)
After you receive your vehicle, Ekho continues working with the DMV to complete your registration and/or titling as applicable. You'll receive your plates and registration documents by mail, typically within a few weeks, depending on your state. If applicable, Ekho or the selling dealer will provide you with a temporary tag so that you can enjoy your new ride in the meantime.
