Zento

For acupuncturists

Getting paid

Take payment when they book. The money goes straight to your own account.

Paid without chasing

Take payment at the time of booking

Card payments settle into your own Stripe account. Zento never holds your money, and the payout schedule and fees are Stripe’s, not ours.

Your account, your money

Payments go to a Stripe account in your name. We never take custody of patient funds.

Pay up front or after

Charge when the appointment is booked, hold a card for a no-show fee, or send a request afterwards.

Receipts without admin

A receipt goes out automatically and sits on the patient record for your bookkeeping.

A policy that holds

The patient accepts your cancellation and no-show terms at booking, and the acceptance is recorded.

Where the money goes

Paid into your own account

Payments run through Stripe, into an account that belongs to you. Zento never holds your money and never sits between you and it.

  • Your own Stripe account, in your name
  • Payouts on Stripe's schedule, not ours
  • Card details never touch our servers

When you get paid

Take payment at the time of booking

Ask for payment when the appointment is made, or keep a card on file and charge after the session. No invoices to chase.

  • Charge at booking, or after the session
  • Card kept on file for repeat clients
  • No-show and late-cancellation fees, if you charge them

Setting it up

A few minutes, once

Stripe asks for your details and verifies them. Until that is finished you can still take bookings. You simply cannot take card payments yet.

  • Guided setup, no paperwork
  • Bookings keep working while verification runs
  • Clear status, so you know where you stand

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

Stripe charges its own processing fee per transaction. Zento's fee is whatever your plan says and nothing more. We take no percentage of what you charge.

Do I have to take payments?

No. Taking payment online is optional; plenty of acupuncturists take bookings through Zento and settle in the room.
