Frequently Asked Questions
How do therapists handle recurring session payments?
Store client's card on file, charge after each session automatically. Or use session packages—client buys 4-8 sessions upfront at slight discount. Square handles both approaches well.
What about privacy on receipts and statements?
Customize receipt descriptions to be discreet ('Professional Services' vs specific therapy type). Most processors allow custom merchant names. Square and others let you control what appears on client statements.
