Staff from Connected Pay attended the UMKC Midwest Dental Conference over the weekend.
Topics of interest to Dentists and Office Managers were credit card processing, merchant services, online payments, collections, virtual terminals, and payment solutions. Additionally, dental practitioners like the idea of receiving payments when the office was closed. Many dental practitioners work 4 days a week and the ability to leverage the internet to accept payments twenty four hours a day is attractive and beneficial to their cash flows.
In terms of credit card issuers, we found that the Dentists and Office Managers were interested in Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. American Express was not a preferred issuer. This was due to the additional costs associated with accepting American Express. Many urban practitioners felt that they needed to accept American Express due to the higher demographic the issuer focuses on. The smaller practitioners found that accepting Visa, MasterCard, and Discover adequately covered their customer base. They reasoned that if they had an American Express card, it was likely they also carried a Visa or MasterCard since most checking account debit cards carry the Visa or MasterCard logo.
Connected Pay is your partner in payment processing. Our virtual terminal is processor neutral, so it is easy to integrate an existing card processor account.
