Whenever you send an email in Halaxy (including when emailing invoices), you can include a secure payment link that patients can click to pay the invoice online using their card or PayPal. You can include this link in any email communication template by clicking Dynamic Terms and selecting "Payment Link":
To include this link in your email template so that it always appears when you email an invoice:
Click Settings > Reminders.
Find the Level you want to edit the invoice email for (Group or Individual practitioner).
-
In the Copy section, click the Edit (pencil) icon to the right of "Email Invoice - Patient" or "Email Invoice - Organisation".
Position the cursor where you want to include the secure payments link in your email template.
-
Click Dynamic Terms, then click Payment Link in the drop-down menu.
Click Save.
RESULT: Your email template has now been updated with the secure link. When you email an invoice to your patients, they can click the link to access the invoice and make online payment via credit/debit card, with each payment appearing as a payment line in the Invoice section. Your invoice will automatically update in Halaxy once a payment is made, and you will receive a notification in your Halaxy notifications.
Patients can click Pay Invoice to make payments, where they will be asked to pay by card or PayPal. They can make full payment or partial deposits, with each payment appearing as a new line on the invoice. They can also print the invoice at any time by clicking the Printer icon.
Note
Payments made by secure link are subject to electronic payment processing fees and count towards reaching the next payment band. Card details are not stored when patients pay by secure link.
When paying via secure invoice link, the patient portal or making prepayment for an online booking, your patients can opt to use PayPal as an alternative to entering their card information. You do not need a PayPal account to receive PayPal payments; the funds will be transferred to the deposit account you set up in Halaxy.
From the invoice, patients simply need to click Pay Invoice, then select Pay with PayPal in the pop-up and follow the prompts to log in to authorise the payment. Patients who wish to pay via PayPal must have their own PayPal account.
