At a Glance
Instalments let clients spread the cost of treatments or courses over several payments, making higher-value treatments more affordable and increasing bookings. ClinicSoftware.com sets up instalment plans and collects each payment automatically, tracking the balance against the client's record.
What are treatment instalments?
Instalments split the cost of a treatment or course into scheduled payments rather than one upfront charge. This makes higher-value treatments accessible to more clients. ClinicSoftware.com manages the schedule and collection.
How do instalments increase bookings?
By lowering the upfront cost barrier, instalments let clients say yes to treatments and courses they might otherwise postpone. That converts more high-value bookings.
How are instalment payments collected?
ClinicSoftware.com collects each scheduled payment automatically and tracks the remaining balance on the client's record, so nothing is missed and reconciliation is automatic.
