What is Updox Payments?
Updox Payments is a new product that provides a simple, quick way for Updox users to request payments from patients via SMS text message. Patients will be able to click a link received via SMS, verify their identity, and make an immediate payment, all from their mobile device.
Updox users are able to manage payment requests from an easy-to-use dashboard, resending or cancelling requests and performing voids or refunds, all from one interface.
