vCita is a winner!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use vCita for the following: 1. Online payment portal - which allows us to accept payments faster. 2. Appointment scheduling - which makes appointment scheduling easier and more efficient. 3. Messaging with clients - which allows us to communicate very quickly. 4. Exchanging documents with clients - which allows us to keep documents in one place. The online payment portal makes payments much easier and faster.
Pros
- Online payments.
- Appointment scheduling.
- Messaging.
- Receiving and sending documents.
Cons
- Fillable pdf forms that don't require downloading and remain online.
- More online payment link choices - currently only works with Square, Stripe, and PayPal.
- Confirming user email addresses prior to accepting profile (rather than allowing incomplete or non-existent email addresses).
Likelihood to Recommend
It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.
