Pricing questions, answered
Why is there a monthly fee if I'm paying to process credit cards?
The monthly fee covers all of the awesome features that QuantaPay and QuantaPay Pro come with. It also allows us to continue developing new features that our customers can utilize. QSave still gives you a way to bring your processing costs down to as little as $99/mo.
What's the difference between QuantaPay, Pro, and Multi-Location?
QuantaPay covers the core payment tools solo practices and small teams need to get started. QuantaPay Pro adds automated patient collections, two-way texting, online scheduling, digital intake forms, and automated appointment reminders for busier offices ready to streamline collections. Multi-Location / Group is built for DSOs and multi-office practices, layering on a rolled-up performance dashboard, enterprise reporting, standardized workflows, and a white-labeled view across every location. Tap any card above for the full feature breakdown.
How does QSave work?
QSave applies a 2.89% surcharge on credit card payments and a 2.19% rate on debit, so your practice can reduce or eliminate processing costs while patients see one transparent charge at checkout. It works automatically within your existing QuantaPay setup, and comes with a starter kit, including checkout signage and sample patient communications, so your front desk can explain the change with confidence.
Is QuantaPay built for multi-location practices or DSOs?
Yes, our Multi-Location / Group plan gives DSOs and multi-office groups a centralized, real-time view of collections and accounts receivable across every location, with standardized billing workflows so patients get a consistent experience wherever they're seen. It's designed to let you scale through automation rather than adding administrative headcount at every new office.
Does QuantaPay work with my practice management system?
QuantaPay integrates with leading dental PMS platforms, including a direct Open Dental integration that syncs treatment plans, procedure breakdowns, and insurance estimates so patients can select and sign for payment options right from their plan. Visit our Integrations page for the full list.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
Reach out to our team and we'll walk you through the full terms, and we're happy to answer any questions before you sign up.
