In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, professionals are always on the lookout for innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and streamline administrative duties. WriteUpp, in conjunction with robust integrated payment systems such as Square and Stripe, is revolutionising the way healthcare providers operate.
These tools simplify appointment management and ensure smooth, secure, and convenient payment processing, making them indispensable assets for modern healthcare practices.
In this article, five WriteUpp users discuss how payment processing has revolutionised their practice.
Understanding Payment Processing
Before diving in, it’s important to understand what payment processing is. Online payment processing allows clients to pay for their appointments digitally, streamlining transactions by eliminating the necessity for cash or bank transfers. This method makes payments faster, more convenient, and more secure.
With internet access, clients can pay from any location. They can prepay for appointments with just a click, which helps minimise no-shows and saves time that would otherwise be spent chasing payments. Clients can also settle their invoices by clicking a link sent to them after their appointment. Advanced security measures, such as encrypted payment gateways, significantly lower the risk of fraud, protecting both practitioners and clients.
Clinicians can use a payment terminal at their practice for in-person transactions, which is perfect for clients who prefer paying during their visit. These terminals accept multiple payment methods, including credit and debit cards and contactless options like mobile wallets. By offering both online and in-person payment methods, you can accommodate various client preferences, enhancing the overall experience and ensuring secure, seamless transactions.

Time-Saving and Error-Free Transactions
Liam Swain, who runs LRS Physiotherapy, handles all aspects of his clinic, from therapy sessions to bookings. Using WriteUpp to process payments has been a significant time-saver for him.
“I run a physio clinic and manage the day-to-day bookings. Having a linked payment system saves me time and helps keep things organised. Clients prepay, reducing the need for physical transactions and minimising the DNA (Did Not Attend) rate”
The ability to link each appointment type to the reader and take payments with a simple click reduces errors. It presents a professional image, making the process more efficient and organised.
User-Friendly and Reliable Payment System
Louise Smith, a self-employed podiatrist at Louise’s Foot Clinic, appreciates the ease and reliability of using Square integrated with WriteUpp for in-person payments.
“I mainly use my Square terminal to take in-person payments. It’s so easy to take payments with Square and it integrates seamlessly with WriteUpp. There’s no need to spend time inputting a patient’s payment method. WriteUpp does it all with one click.”
The Square terminal’s user-friendly interface and reliable connectivity have made her payment process smoother and more efficient.
Simplified Financial Management
Verity Allen runs a growing fertility acupuncture and consultancy service with multiple associate practitioners. The integration of WriteUpp with Stripe has been essential for managing payments and tracking earnings.
“Using Stripe, all the money comes directly to me, and I have the responsibility to pay out the wages at the end of the month. Stripe helps me track how much we’re earning so that I can put aside the correct figure for outgoings.”
She also highlights the advantage of upfront payments, which eliminates awkward conversations about cancellations and ensures smoother financial transactions. The integration has made her business operations more manageable and transparent.
Streamlined and Efficient Operations
Chelsea Nightingale at Activ8 Sports Therapy recently switched to using Stripe to integrate payments with WriteUpp, aiming to streamline her administrative tasks.
“I’m new to using the integration of payments as I’m trying to streamline all of my admin and make everything run a bit more smoothly without as much effort on my side. Payments are quick; I can withdraw as and when I want, and Stripe takes monthly payments without any further admin.”
The integration has made her operations more efficient, allowing her to focus more on her clients and less on admin.
Seamless Management for International Clients
Oliver Firth, the owner of Hyperdive, provides medical assessments for various occupational groups, including divers, seafarers, offshore personnel, and miners. With clients booking appointments from different time zones, Oliver needed a robust system that operates around the clock. The integration of WriteUpp with Square has been crucial for his business.
“Having an online booking system which accepts payments 24/7 and integrates with my website is a crucial part of my business. The Square platform does just this. I am notified by email about every successful booking and payment, which keeps me in constant touch with how the business performs. Invoices are automatically generated and passed to my accounting software for reconciliation, making end-of-year tax calculations much easier.”
This integration saves him time and ensures accuracy and efficiency in managing his finances.
