Updated: 11/05/2026 | Views: 10974

Patient Collect (Stripe) activated practices that purchased a Stripe terminal and have completed the setup can begin to use the countertop card reader to take secure in-person payments. The terminal supports chip, swipe, and contactless payments, including Apple Pay and Google Pay. To collect patient payments manually or with a saved card, review Patient Collect (Stripe): Collect Payment. To learn about the feature in the Desktop Application (PM), review Patient Collect (Stripe): Collect Patient Payment.
