Invoicing/Payment
Sign up for a ProClient Payment Account. Having one will let you connect your bank account and process payments through ProClient. You will have access to a Payment Process Report that lists all deposits to your connected bank account, along with the transactions and the associated fees.
Tax Rates
Add a Tax Rate item that will be selectable in the "New Product / Service" dialog box.
Products / Services
Add, edit, or delete products and services for your business.
To add a new product, click on the "New Product / Service" button. In the pop-up window that appears, you can enter the Product/Service Name, Fee Amount, and Description. You can also select a Tax Rate to apply (the default option is "Don't Charge Tax").
Notification Settings
Set whether notification emails will be sent to the account owner, a specific user account, or none at all.
Note that you need an Integrated Email on your account to be able to send messages to that email address via ProClient. You can integrate an external email address on the "My Profile" page of ProClient. To have emails sent from a different user's account, that account needs to be set up with its own integrated email. For more information, go to: Settings - Email setup
Once you have Integrated Email set up, you will be able to modify the Notification Settings.
These settings affect the following notifications:
- Appointment Notifications
- Document Notifications
- Billing Invoices
- Web Payment Notifications
- Client Document Notifications
Notification Number
Adds a phone number at which text notifications will be sent to you.
Security
Configure settings for enhancing the security of the accounts connected to your ProClient system.
- Account Two Factor - Activate or deactivate two-factor authentication for user accounts.
- Client Two Factor - Activate or deactivate two-factor authentication for clients’ account logins.
- Client Document Two Factor - Activate or deactivate two-factor authentication for clients’ document access.
Document Settings
By default, all documents that are uploaded to ProClient are not shared with your clients. You can change the Document Settings so that documents that are uploaded to ProClient are shared with your clients by default. (Note that this lets the documents be shared with specific individuals, not all clients.)
By enabling this setting, you are changing the sharing permission with clients to always share documents with clients as the default. You can change sharing permissions for individual documents in the CRM Documents section for each client.
