πŸ“ Overview

DaySmart Payments allows you to securely store client credit card information directly on their profile. Stored cards can be used to pay invoices or automatically charge wellness plan payments.

πŸ’‘ Card data is never stored directly in the system. Instead, an encrypted token is saved and associated with the card information held securely by the payment processor. When a transaction is initiated, the token is passed to decrypt and charge the applicable card β€” keeping sensitive data protected at every step.


πŸ’³ Adding a Card on File

There are two ways to add a client's credit card to their profile: when taking a new payment, or directly from the client's profile.

Adding a Card During Payment

  1. Select Card on File as the payment type

  2. Click the Payment Method box, then select Add New

  3. Complete the form that appears

Adding a Card From the Client's Profile

  1. Navigate to the client's profile

  2. Click the Billing > New Transaction > New Payment Method

  3. Complete the form that appears and click Save


πŸ’Έ Using a Stored Card

Once a card is saved, select Card on File as the payment type when processing a transaction to apply it.

πŸ’‘ More than one credit card can be stored on a single client's profile. The card set as the Primary will be the default card when taking a payment.

Securely Storing Credit Card Information on File

This feature is only available as part of Integrated Payments


We allow for the secure storing of client credit card information as part of Integrated Payments. Cards that are stored on file can be used to pay invoices, as well as to automatically charge wellness plans payments. To ensure maximum security, the card information is not actually stored in our system. Instead, we store an encrypted token that is associated with the actual card information that is securely stored. When a transaction is requested for a particular card, we provide the encrypted token, which they then decrypt in order to charge the applicable card.
