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.
All core features are available during Updox Payments’ beta stage, but the product will become more feature-rich as the beta period progresses.
