Hi Matthew. Rectangle health does!
We use Dental Intel for lots of of unique features and the pay by link is something new with them!
Amanda S. Yes I just signed up to trial with Dental Intel text AR feature. Wasn’t sure if Open Dental had a similar feature with less merchant services fees.
Mathew D. not sure about that either. We use Di for so many other features and 2 locations, so they bundled for us there are definitely some glitches but over all I’m happy with it.
Not built in but you could always use patient portal and OpenEdge to do this
Novin S. Is OpenEdge a 3rd party program?
Mathew D. yes. They integrate global payment processing with OpenDental
Might actually be a part of global payments but they are made to work with OpenDental and endorsed by them
Novin S. I’m surprised you didn’t know we have this feature. You are usually spot on with your guidance on here. It’s kind of an obscure feature. See my comment below for how to find it in documentation.
Thanks! But doesn’t portal payments need OpenEdge or PayConnect to allow patient payments online?
Pretty sure flex does this but you need to use their merchant service provider (card connect)
We use Dental Intel for that and it works great.
Yes. Search for ‘Send text messages for these modes’ on this page. You can include a URL in the text message that will send them straight to a payment portal.

You can do this with Flex
You can do this with Weave! Love to show you!
I just did this exact thing today but in Flex.
We use Modento. They paid online, texting, tx pln sent, forms…it is great. Highly recommended.
