How to grow your payments app with podiatrists and chiropodists

  3. See every payment as it happens

Private podiatrists and chiropodists treat patients in small clinics and on home visits, many of them older people with regular appointments every few weeks. Cash left in the house, missed visits and patients whose children pay for them are all everyday problems. A payments app that takes a deposit when booking and payment on the day, by card or link, can win these practices, and every patient who pays sees your app.

Take a deposit when booking

A small deposit paid by link when an appointment is booked cuts missed visits and pays for the time if a patient does not turn up.

Grow through other clinics
