Integrated payment processing (US only)
Overview
This feature is currently only available in the US.
You can now process credit and debit card payments directly in Blueprint OMS. This eliminates the need to process them separately on a point-of-sale terminal.
Additional details are here.

Attention current customers using integrated payments with WorldPay (card swiping)
You can switch from WorldPay (card swiping) to SignaPay (chip processing) by contacting Merchant Preferred. Obtain account information and a chip processing terminal from Merchant Preferred, and then navigate to the Setup menu in your Blueprint OMS > Payment methods > Integrated payments and click the Run configuration wizard button to enter your new SignaPay account details.
Using integrated payment processing
Blueprint OMS does not store any credit/debit card information.
When using the Integrated payments feature to receive patient payments (including deposits), the workflow is the same as for receiving cash or check payments.
However, after clicking SAVE, you will be prompted to swipe or insert the card, as shown below.
If you have a magnetic card reader (provided by Merchant Preferred), you may then swipe or insert the card through the reader.
Alternatively, you may click Manual entry to key in the card details on the dialog shown below.
Receiving credit/debit card payments from insurers
Receiving credit/debit card payments from insurers operates the same way as receiving credit/debit card payments from patients. More information on receiving insurance payments: here.
Automatic transaction settlement
Payments processed through Blueprint OMS are automatically transferred to your bank account on a nightly basis. These transfers are referred to as Settlement. This is completely independent of the Enter bank deposit function in Blueprint OMS.
It takes a few days following the nightly settlement for the transfer to reach the destination bank account.
