Independent dentists and opticians often take deposits before treatment or before ordering glasses, and many patients want to spread a larger bill over a few months. Chasing unpaid balances takes time at the front desk. A payments app that handles deposits, payment links and scheduled payments can win these practices, and every patient who pays sees your app.

Let patients pay in parts
Scheduled payments let patients spread a larger bill over an agreed number of months, and help the practice know what is coming in.
Grow through local health services
Dentists, opticians, clinics and pharmacies often serve the same families. One practice on your app can introduce you to the others nearby.
