We’re excited to offer an embedded payment processing option to complement our existing integrated payment solution. Both options are designed to streamline your daily transactions and improve efficiencies, but which one fits your clinic best? In this post, we’ll break down what an embedded payment process is and how it can help.
Embedded vs. Integrated Products – What’s the Difference?
Great question! While both embedded and integrated payment systems help optimize your workflow, the difference lies in how they create efficiencies.
– Embedded payment processing is built within the product you’re already using.
– Integrated payment processing generally requires a third-party interaction.
Think of embedded solutions as tools that are already part of your toolkit, while integrated ones work by linking to third-party systems.
How Does Covetrus® Embedded Payment Processing Help You?
With our embedded payment solution now available within Pulse®, everything, from onboarding to transaction processing to reporting, is achieved within one place with the ease of a single sign-on (SSO) experience. Let’s walk through how it works:
1. Enrollment and Activation
Get started easily with Pulse’s built-in enrollment process:
- No paperwork – Everything is self-service—just enroll, get approved, and register/order your devices.
- Instant approval* – As soon as you’re approved, you can order payment devices with a click, whether it’s your first set or additional units.
- No extra passwords – The embedded solution uses your existing Covetrus credentials, so you never have to sign in multiple times.
2. Payment Transaction
With embedded payments, you can process transactions more smoothly within Pulse:
- No manual data entry – Treatment costs pull directly from the patient’s record, reducing errors and the need for adjustments.
- No third-party systems – Everything happens right within Pulse, helping to reduce transaction errors, and a potential reduction in multiple adjustment transactions.
- No additional PCI requirements – We keep the process secure and up to date, so you don’t have to worry about meeting extra PCI requirements.
- Flexible payments, anywhere. Because Pulse is cloud-based, you can accept payments from any location—whether it’s at the front desk, in an exam room, or even in the parking lot to accommodate anxious pets.
3. Reporting Gathering
Obtaining payment reports is quick and easy with Pulse:
- Real-time payout dashboards – View payout reports and other insights without logging in elsewhere.
