The secure connection between your practice and the payment networks
Think of a payment gateway as the secure bridge between your practice and your client's bank. When a client swipes, taps, or enters their card online, the gateway encrypts that data and routes it through the card network for authorization — all in seconds.
For health and wellness businesses, a properly configured gateway means you can accept payments in the treatment room, at the front desk, through your website, and over the phone — all connecting back to one unified account.
Beacon sets up and supports gateways including Authorize.net, USAePay, and others — fully integrated with your existing practice management software.
