Enabling the CareCredit Integration (US Only)

This integration enables access to CareCredit's Integrated Services application within Blueprint OMS. This allows Blueprint OMS to capture CareCredit applications, payments, or refunds that are entered through the CareCredit web portal.

Setting up the integration

  2. Click CareCredit.

6. Select which payment method will be used with this integration or create one by selecting <Create new> at the bottom of the list. If you choose to create a new payment method, you must also select the deposit and refund accounts for the new payment method. The new payment method will automatically be created in QuickBooks if linked.

If you do not enter a merchant number for one or more locations the CareCredit integration will not be enabled for those locations.
