Stripe Payments

To receive payments from your clients through the Medechat platform you will need to open a Stripe account.

Stripe is our chosen payment provider and is the online merchant platform used by millions of businesses big and small to accept payments safely and securely. There are processing fees for this service which are 1.75% + .30c per transaction. Please take this into account when deciding on your consultation fees.

You can also access all the help documents at www.support.stripe.com or email sales@medechat.com.au if you have any problems.


When we notify you that you have been set-up on the Medechat platform, you can login to Medechat using the password you created and navigate to Practice Settings

Select Connect to Stripe and follow the prompts.

Stripe will take you through all the sections you need to get up and running and accept payments.

You’ll need to have to hand your legal business name and business details and also the bank account details that you would like your funds transferred too.

Follow all the prompts supplied by Stripe.

You will need to use your legal business/company name for your account, but please use your clinic name as the nickname/trading name so we can identity you easily.

When you have completed the set-up don’t forget to activate your account. Medechat is now connected to it and your payments can be processed.

Once set-up your Dashboard will give you an overview of the payments you have taken, your account balance and when to expect payouts.

Make sure you are not in Test mode unless you are testing payments.

You can go into Settings at anytime to update your information or add branding to confirmation emails etc.
