A cash-pay clinic owner is spending $700-$1500/month on debit and credit card processing fees and is unsure whether to pass these costs to patients or absorb them, indicating a need for a cost-effective payment solution.

Existing payment processing solutions charge high fees that eat into profits, and clinic owners lack clear guidance or tools to optimize or transparently shift these costs without alienating patients.
