Integrated Payment Processing

TherapyNotes offers fully-integrated payment processing services, allowing you to securely charge and store your clients' credit, debit, and HSA cards. Cards may be swiped into TherapyNotes using a USB card reader or manually entered when inputting a client payment.

After the card is entered into TherapyNotes once, the card can be securely stored in TherapyNotes to be used for future transactions. This allows you to easily collect copays without needing to swipe the card each time, collect missed appointment fees without waiting to see the client again, and avoid frequent trips to the bank to deposit cash or checks. As an added bonus, accepting card payments allows for more convenient visits for your clients.

The funds you collect from payment processing are deposited directly into your bank account the next day when the transaction occurs before 9:30 pm ET.

Note: Because payment services are managed by CardConnect, a third-party vendor, integrated payment processing is not free during your free trial of TherapyNotes.

To begin accepting card payments, apply for a TherapyNotes payment processing merchant account. Click the User Icon > Settings > Patient Credit Card Processing > Apply Now, or read Payment Processing Application and Fees for more information.
