Online payments

Online payments for medical clinics

A patient who has already paid does not queue at reception, and a course that is paid for in advance is a course that tends to get finished. Payment links go out with the confirmation, and what comes back lands against the invoice it settled.

Paid before they arrive

The payment does not have to happen at the desk. A link in the confirmation message is settled from the patient’s phone, and reception sees it as paid before the patient walks in.

  • mada, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay
  • A link sent with the appointment confirmation or on request
  • Deposits taken before a course or package begins
  • Balances settled from the reminder rather than at the counter
  • Receipts issued automatically, in the patient’s language
Invoices in the Medicolize app with a payment link on each one, and what is still owed against what is paid

Reconciled, not just received

Money arriving in a gateway is only useful once it is attached to what it paid for. Each settlement lands on its invoice, in the treasury account it belongs to.

  • Each payment matched to the invoice it settles
  • Part payments handled without splitting the invoice
  • Settlements posted to the right treasury account
  • Refunds linked to the payment they reverse
  • Gateway fees recorded rather than quietly reducing the figure

Fewer reasons not to pay

Most unpaid balances in a clinic are not refusals. They are friction: the patient left, the card was not on them, nobody followed up. Each of those has an answer.

  • Outstanding balances chased on a schedule, not by memory
  • A link that still works when the patient opens it two days later
  • Payment plans across a course, drawn down per session
  • The same link on WhatsApp, SMS or email
  • What is owed visible to the patient rather than only to you

Who benefits from taking it online

The desk is the bottleneck in most clinics, and payment is what holds it up.

Reception

Fewer card machines, fewer queues, fewer awkward conversations.

Patients

Paying from their own phone, in their own time.

Owners

Less outstanding, collected sooner, and matched to invoices.

Taking payment at the desk versus taking it anywhere

Both get paid eventually. One of them gets paid before the appointment.

The way it is done now

  • Payment at the counter only
  • Deposits promised verbally
  • Gateway report matched by hand
  • Refunds handled outside the system
  • Balances chased when someone remembers

With Medicolize

  • A link settled from the patient’s phone
  • Deposits taken before the course starts
  • Each settlement on the invoice it paid
  • Refunds linked to the original payment
  • Chased on a schedule
Questions

Online payments — what clinics ask

Which payment methods are supported?

mada, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay through the gateways the clinic connects. Which are available depends on the gateway and the market the clinic operates in.

Can we take a deposit before a course starts?

Yes, and for packages this is the common setup: a deposit secures the block, and the balance is drawn down per session as it is delivered.

Does the payment land on the right invoice?

Yes. A settlement is matched to the invoice that generated the link, posted to the treasury account it belongs to, and part payments do not require splitting the invoice.

Can patients pay from WhatsApp?

Yes. The same link can go out over WhatsApp, SMS or email, and it stays valid if the patient opens it later rather than immediately.

What happens to gateway fees?

They are recorded rather than netted off silently, so the revenue figure and the amount that reached the account can both be read.
