WHAT IT DOES

Payment processing should not mean juggling a second system.

When payments happen outside your practice management system, your team ends up logging into a separate portal, re-entering transaction amounts, and double-checking that everything matches at the end of the day. Every extra login is a chance for something to get missed. FlexPayments processes in-office terminal payments, text-to-pay and email payment links, prepayments on treatment plans, recurring payment plans, deposits, and stored cards on file, all inside Flex.

Once a payment goes through, it posts automatically to the correct patient ledger in Open Dental, so your team is not retyping amounts or manually applying refunds. Open Dental stays the system of record for the patient's financial history. Flex simply handles the collecting, so checkout is faster and your end-of-day reconciliation has fewer surprises.

HOW IT WORKS

One connected system for every kind of payment.

  1. Flex connects to your Open Dental ledger

    FlexPayments links directly to each patient’s account in Open Dental, so payment activity always maps back to the right person and the right balance.

  2. Patients pay in-office or remotely

    Your team can run a card on a terminal at checkout, keep a card on file, or send a text or email payment request that patients can pay from their phone.

  3. Payments post back automatically

    Once a payment is processed, the transaction details sync back to Open Dental without anyone re-entering numbers, so your ledger stays current and accurate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about FlexPayments

FlexPayments is a payment processing solution built inside Flex that integrates with Open Dental. Your team takes payments, stores cards, sends payment requests, and manages statements inside Flex, and those payments automatically post back to the correct patient ledger in Open Dental.

No. Open Dental remains your source of truth for the patient record and ledger. Flex handles the payment workflow, and once a transaction is processed, it posts back to Open Dental automatically.

Yes. Practices should still reconcile deposits as part of normal financial controls. FlexPayments provides reporting to support that process, and automatic posting reduces the risk of errors, but it does not remove the need for standard oversight.

FlexPayments supports in-office terminal payments, card-on-file transactions, text-to-pay and email payment links, treatment plan prepayments, recurring payment plans, and appointment deposits when used with FlexSchedule.

Not currently. FlexPayments is available to US practices only and is not currently available in Canada at this time.
