Payment Processing Services for Veterinary Practices
One thing most veterinary practices don’t consider when starting their business is the cost of collecting payments. You’re likely spending thousands of dollars every month processing payments from your customers.
Owners of veterinary clinics or managers need to continually find ways to optimize their operations, which means lowering costs wherever possible without compromising the quality of your service.
Our 5-star veterinary payment processing solutions make it easy for you to manage your cash flows and maximize revenue from every appointment.
Credit Card Processing Costs the Average Vet Practice $43,000 a Year
TeleVet, one of the leading veterinary software providers, researched how much vets spend on payment processing and found that the average expense of a 2-DVM practice is $43,000 annually. That’s an entire salary wasted on processing card payments.
The average processing fee for a veterinary clinic is 3.5%, and the rates can be higher depending on the type of card someone pays with. The merchant fee is also affected by whether or not a card was present during the transaction. “Card Not Present” transactions come with higher processing rates.
What constitutes a “Card Not Present” transaction? Online orders, like pet pharmacy prescriptions, and curbside pick-up orders fall under this category. Since these types of services have become more common among veterinary practices in recent years, clinics are also facing much higher processing fees.
For a practice that sees more business through these services, they may lose a large portion of additional revenue these conveniences generate. This is why finding the right payment processor is crucial. You can maintain a competitive edge by offering services your customers love while still saving money on payment processing.

Veterinary practices rely on specialized software to make managing their clinics easy.
