Flex Dental Solutions Adds Buy Now, Pay Later and Surcharging to Payments
Flex Dental Solutions has enhanced its FlexPayments service for Open Dental users by integrating buy now, pay later options with Affirm and Klarna, alongside a new surcharging feature.
Flex Dental Solutions has introduced new features to its FlexPayments service aimed at Open Dental software users. The updates are designed to help dental practices convert more diagnosed treatments into scheduled appointments and to recover costs associated with credit card processing fees.
The service now includes "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) options through partnerships with Affirm and Klarna. This provides patients with the flexibility to pay for dental care costs in installments, directly within the existing checkout procedure.
Additionally, FlexPayments now allows practices to pass on credit card processing fees to patients. Previously, dental practices absorbed these costs, which could impact profitability. The new surcharging capability aims to offset these expenses.
According to Flex Dental Solutions, these updates are integrated into existing checkout processes to ensure a smooth implementation for clinics. The goal is to assist dental practices in increasing treatment acceptance rates and improving their financial efficiency.
