Their payment challenges

Historically, coreplus’s customers transacted with their clients via onsite Points of Sale devices.

In March 2020, it was clear that coreplus needed to deliver an online payment solution in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic forced most of their customers to work remotely, accelerating the emerging Digital Health Practice concept.

coreplus worked to deliver a telehealth platform that allows their customers to continue to provide healthcare services via Telehealth or itinerantly (Home Care or On-Premise). It was just as critical that health practitioners could continue to receive payments for the services they delivered to their clients. Payment scenarios vary from remote, pay in advance options or itinerant physically contactless payments”, explained O’Caroll.

We initially invested time and effort to complete a proof of concept project with a payment provider known to us. However, it revealed that they would fall short of the solution we wanted to deliver to our customers.”

We wanted a seamless onboarding experience for our customers, where they were in control of setting up their account with no intervention required from the coreplus teams. Our original vendor required the coreplus team to be the recipient of the API keys and then update the coreplus customer’s production account with the credentials manually. Pin Payments made this process super straightforward with their onboarding process.”

We also wanted an integration solution that covered all the digital health models of care, including in-person, itinerant and remote service delivery. Naturally, the solution has to make sense to us, and we needed a price point that works for our growing network of customers.”

The solution

With Pin Payments’ support, we delivered our first release in just two weeks. It allowed our customers to send an invoice via email with a Pay Now button linking to Pin Payments’ ready to use hosted Payment Page. Over the following fortnight, we delivered the ability to store tokenised payment details through the Hosted Fields integration and process one-click online payments from within the coreplus user interface.”

At coreplus, we believe that privacy and security are fundamental to digital health. Being able to tick the boxes on PCI Compliance for online payments was a major plus in choosing Pin Payments.”

We also liked how Pin Payments’ API documentation was simple to follow and believe this would make our developers work easier. Their documentation in addition to their fantastic support really set us up to succeed with our release.”

The result

Over 50 coreplus customer accounts adopted the coreplus Pin Payments integration in the first week, with a growing number of customer accounts onboarding themselves since.”

Pin Payments’ support is always timely and thorough. When you’re working to maintain a live integration supporting high volumes of online payment transactions, you must have a pathway to escalate any technical issues.”

A number of our customers share how great their onboarding experience has been and how easy they found the initial setup and navigation of the Pin Payments user interface.”

Our customers now enjoy a great user experience for both their team members and the clients they support. Our product team is satisfied that we have provided the best-valued offering for online payments in the market, resulting in a great customer experience and cost savings.”
