What could mPayr’s convenience-fee model mean for your practice?
Enter your practice’s details below to see an illustrative estimate of potential savings from switching to a convenience-fee payment model, compared to traditional merchant processing.
Your practice
How many of your card transactions would move to the convenience-fee model. Varies by patient mix and state rules.
Estimates are illustrative and based on the inputs you provide. Actual results depend on your state’s laws, card network rules, patient mix, practice specifics, and adoption. Convenience-fee availability and specific terms vary by jurisdiction. This is not a guarantee of savings.
How migration typically works
Our implementation team has migrated practices from most major dental software platforms. Here’s what a typical switch looks like — though timelines vary based on practice size, data volume, and integration complexity.
Discovery & planning
We audit your current Weave setup, map your workflows, and configure mConsent to match. Usually a 30-minute call, plus follow-up for complex setups.
Setup & integration
Our team configures PMS integration, migrates forms and patient preferences, and sets up communication workflows. Timelines vary, typically within a few days.
Go live & train
Live staff training, a test run with real patients, and dedicated support during the first 30 days to help your team settle into the new workflow.
