Payment Processing for Veterinary Practices
Emergency care and specialty surgeries deserve $0 processing fees. Network Offset Pricing means vet clinics pay nothing to process high-ticket procedures — with client payment plans included.
What Payment Processing Costs Your Clinic
Emergency procedures, payment plan needs, wellness plan churn, and after-hours limitations create a set of payment challenges unique to veterinary medicine that generic processors ignore.
Emergency Procedures Overpay at Flat Rate
Emergency surgeries and specialty procedures of $2,000-10,000+ lose hundreds per case at flat-rate pricing. A $6,000 emergency surgery at 2.9% costs $174 in processing fees — while actual interchange may be under $112. That gap repeats on every high-ticket case.
Payment Plans for Unexpected Expenses
Pet emergencies are unplanned and expensive. Clients need installment options but basic processors do not support recurring billing for payment plans — forcing clinics to manage collections manually or turn patients away.
Wellness Plan Billing Churn
Monthly wellness plan subscriptions fail when client cards expire or are replaced. Without automatic card updater, clinics lose wellness plan members to involuntary churn — recurring revenue that disappears silently each month.
After-Hours Payment Processing Limitations
Emergency and overnight cases cannot wait for office hours to collect payment. Processors without 24/7 transaction support, after-hours terminals, or text-to-pay links create collection gaps for late-night and weekend emergency visits.
Built for Veterinary Practices
From wellness exams to emergency surgery, every feature is designed for veterinary practice workflows.
High-Ticket Savings
Emergency surgeries, specialty referrals, and dental extractions of $1,000-10,000+ cost $0 to process with Network Offset Pricing. No interchange, no markups — unlike flat-rate processors that take hundreds per procedure.
Client Payment Plans
Offer in-house installment plans for large procedures. Automated recurring billing with smart retry logic reduces declined payments and awkward collection conversations.
Wellness Plan Billing
Automate monthly wellness plan subscriptions with card-on-file billing. Smart retry and automatic card updater reduce involuntary churn from expired or replaced cards.

Based on PaySec merchant data, Q1 2026. Individual results may vary.
“We do a lot of emergency surgeries that run $3,000-8,000. The savings on those cases are substantial. And the payment plans mean fewer clients have to make that impossible choice between cost and care.”
