Flexible ways for patients to pay at the vision center

Optometrist credit card processing needs to be able to accept payments from their patients in ways that offer speed, security, and low contact. Below we cover some of the ways optometrist have been accepting payments from their patients.

01

Self-serve payment page on your website

A self serve payment page gives utmost flexibility to your dental patients by allowing them to pay remotely from their home over their computer or mobile device. Once the payment is complete, a branded email receipt is sent to the patient. This is a simple and low-cost way to implement payments with no payment hardware needed. This has become very popular with efforts to practice social distancing in payments. These are very simple to implement and we help you along the way.

02

Send email invoices or create payment plans for patients

optometrist have also started to use email invoices and payment plans for their patients. The invoicing system lets you manage your patients and their payments quickly and simply. You can securely store patient and credit card information, automatically send reminders, and be notified of overdue payments. Payment plans lets you create automatic recurring payments on customized schedules for repeat patients. Payment plans are a new and innovative ways that physicians are changing the game for patients.

03

Take payments over the phone

Credit card machines or a virtual terminal easily support taking payments over the phone. With a few clicks, you are taking payments securely. The virtual terminal lets you securely store patient contact information and credit card numbers to speed up the payment process for repeat patients. Custom branded receipts maintain the brand of your practice.

04

Taking payments at the optometrist office in person

Taking payments at the office is a critical and standard method for optometrists to take payments. This includes either standalone credit card machines, a virtual terminal, or integrated payments directly into your practice management software. These are all options that are made available through Beacon Merchant Processing.
