There may be a few instance where you'd like to request for patients to add their card details for any upcoming appointments booked directly through your practice or online through HotDoc. Please follow the instructions in the article below to see how to do this.

When should I use this feature?

This feature allows you to send a patient a request for their card details for any upcoming online or reception booked appointment that does not have automatic payments already set up. This feature can be useful when:

  • You want capture card details for specific patients prior to their attendance for their upcoming appointment booked either online or through the practice directly

  • You have some practitioners that do not want automatic payment requests to send for their appointments. We recommend using this option instead of setting up automatic requests for the specific appointment type, so you can manually select the upcoming appointments for practitioners who want to capture payment via HotDoc. 

Please follow the steps in the section below to see how to do this!
