In the world of B2B commerce, payments are the lifeline of strong partnerships.

Healthcare providers—whether they’re doctors, dentists, or veterinarians—share a deep emotional connection to their work. Picture this: a veterinarian faces the heartbreaking decision to turn away a sick dog because the owner can't afford the upfront costs or doesn't qualify for a credit card. The veterinarian is then left with a choice: either risk providing costly services, like lab tests and x-rays, without assurance of payment or send them elsewhere.

Merchants across many industries – auto dealers, building materials vendors, dentists, veterinarians, and many more – need efficient and secure payment processing solutions. While credit cards dominate, checks remain a popular payment method for many customers. But managing checks without a payment processing solution can be a hassle, leading to delays, errors, and potential fraud. This is where partnering with a check processing company like CrossCheck becomes a game-changer.

Let's face it, credit card fees can eat into your veterinary practice's profits. Between interchange fees, assessments, and potential chargebacks, those swipes can add up quickly. But what if there was a way to offer your clients flexibility while keeping your bottom line healthy? Enter the humble check.

People love their pets and as they age they require more frequent and consistent visits to the veterinarian to ensure their ongoing health and well-being. With that in mind, CrossCheck's ACH Pay-by-Link with guarantee is the best choice for veterinarians as it offers a simple, quick and easy payment solution. Tokenization also means the pet parent will not have to enter any information after the first visit, which will naturally speed up and simplify future payments for both merchant and customer.

CrossCheck's ACH Pay-by-Link with Guarantee is the convenient payment solution for any business. Frictionless payments via email or text will also enable merchants to set up payments with tokenization, meaning customers only have to enter their information once. With credit card fees at high rates, checking accounts are still often the preferred method of payment, and our ACH Pay-by-Link is a superior, easy way to save customers from credit card interest rates, and save the merchant from high credit card fees. Once customers get the ACH Pay-by-Link as a text or email, they can enter their info on a phone or tablet and CrossCheck will handle the rest.

According to a recent survey by LendingClub and PYMNTS, 61 percent of Americans report that they are living paycheck to paycheck.

In honor of National Pet Dental Health Month, many pet parents will realize just how important it is to take care of their pets’ teeth. Complications for poor dental health can range from fairly mundane bad breath, to much more serious illnesses, including organ failure.

Covid has only heightened both this need for unrivaled affection…and the cost that can accompany such a relationship.
