Setting text & email reminder preferences

How to choose and update your Carpay text message and email reminder preferences so you receive alerts about upcoming payments.

What are reminder preferences?

Carpay can send you reminders and notifications by:

  • Email

  • Text message

You can choose which alerts you receive and how you receive them.


How to update your reminder settings

Reminder preferences are managed from Account Settings in the Carpay web portal or mobile app.

Step 1: Log in to your Carpay account

Log in to the Carpay customer portal using a web browser or the Carpay mobile app.

Step 2: Open account settings

At the top of the screen, click Account Settings.

Step 3: Choose your email and text reminder preferences

On the Account Settings page, you’ll see two sections:

  • Notify me by email when

  • Notify me by text message when

You can check or uncheck reminders for:

  • An automated payment is about to occur

  • A non-automated payment is due

  • A payment is overdue

  • A payment is successful

  • A payment failed

Choose only the notifications you want to receive.

Step 4: Save your changes

After selecting your preferences, click Update at the bottom of the page to save your settings.

Your changes will apply to future reminders.


Things to know

  • You can choose email only, text only, or both

  • You can change your reminder preferences at any time

  • Reminder settings affect future messages — they won’t change messages that already sent


Tips if you’re not receiving reminders

  • Make sure your email address and phone number are correct in Account Settings

  • Check your spam or junk email folder

  • Make sure text messages from Carpay aren’t blocked on your phone

  • If you opted out of text messages previously, you may need to re-enable them

If reminders still aren’t working, contact your dealership or lender for help.
