Clinicminds partnered with Stripe for secure payments.
Connect your Stripe account to start using online payments in Clinicminds. If you don’t have a Stripe account yet, you’re able to sign up during the process.

I already have a stripe account
When connecting your Stripe account to Clinicminds, you can use your existing Stripe login if you already have an account. Stripe will always create a new instance for this connection.
You will see a new instance created in the top left corner of the Stripe system. You will need to go through a part of the verification process for this new instance. This is how Stripe has designed the system to keep things separated.
For more details on why Stripe is built this way, you can refer to their help center on stripe.com.
Direct agreement with Stripe
You will enter into a direct agreement with Stripe. Payments are processed by Stripe, not by Clinicminds. Clinicminds, therefore, accepts no responsibility or liability for the use of the services provided by Stripe, which include the payments handled by Stripe. Clinicminds synchronizes data with Stripe; in case of discrepancies, the data in your Stripe Dashboard prevails.
Stripe charges fees for payments, based on the payment method. Clinicminds charges 1 % fee per transaction over the first € 800, - so you will never pay more than € 8, - per transaction. (For other currencies, there is a limit similar to €800, based on recent exchange rates.)
Connect to or create a stripe account
Read the terms carefully and click on connect.
You will be directed to the Stripe setup account window. Please follow the instructions and fill in all necessary information.
More info can be found on the Stripe help center!
Once completed, you can return to your Clinicminds account to select the payment methods you would like to accept (https://stripe.com/payments/payment-methods-guide). Also, set up the services you would like to charge for during an online booking (menu > clinic settings > calendar > services).
Note: You are now able to select Klarna as a payment method to offer your patients the option to pay for their treatments in installments. This can help your patients pay for their treatments without having to pay a large sum of money upfront. Klarna can also be a good option for patients who do not have a credit card or prefer not to use their credit card to pay for their treatments. Based on your clinic's location, Klarna offers various payment options. Click here to learn more about the options in your country.
Notifications (alerts)
The clinic will receive an email in case of a failed deposit payments. When patients use a delayed payment method, like SEPA or BACS Direct Debit, payments can take several days to process. When such a payment fails, you will now receive a clear email that explains the situation and follow-up steps. (For immediate payment methods, like credit/debit card and iDEAL, the patient will be instructed to retry the payment directly, and you don’t need to do anything.)
