The awaited payments update is live. That means an important change for everyone, let’s have a look at what’s going on.

Changes to payments

The biggest change is about invoicing a treatment that will be paid later. Prior to this update, you could have set up a payment method called “outstanding” or “bank transfer” and register that during invoicing, which would leave the payment ‘outstanding’ in the administration. Later on, after receiving the payment, you would register it as paid.

Now, whenever a payment is not performed immediately in the clinic, you have to choose “Outstanding”, which is a built-in feature of the app. After receiving the payment, you can register and select the correct payment method. This could consist of e.g. a single payment through “bank transfer”, or even separate “bank transfer” and “credit card”, etc.
In the old situation, after receiving a payment, you confirmed the prior chosen payment method. This wasn’t ideal, because you didn’t know in advance which payment method the patient would use.

Now you’re able to register the specific payment for an outstanding amount at the time you received the payment.
For existing payments that were still ‘outstanding’, the change applies as well: the outstanding payment method you chose earlier no longer applies, and you can select the payment method at the time you receive and register the payment.
