Integrated payment processing (US only)

Overview

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.

Once you receive confirmation from Merchant Preferred that your processing account is activated, follow the steps below outlined in the Enabling integrated payment processing section. 

Enabling integrated payment processing

Navigate to the Setup menu in your Blueprint OMS > Payment methods > Integrated payments. 

Click Run configuration wizard. All the configuration choices made in the setup wizard can be changed later by running the wizard again.

Open

Step 1: Select the integrated processing platform you are using - WorldPay (card swiping) or SignaPay (chip processing). Select whether you have a single account or multiple accounts (this information is obtained from Merchant Preferred). 

Open

Step 2: Fill in your account information (this information is obtained from Merchant Preferred). 

Step 3: Select which payment methods will prompt you for a card swipe or card insert.

Then, click Finish.

Using integrated payment processing

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.
