36 Covetrus | covetrus.com The solution Wicker Park now uses a joint solution from Stripe and Covetrus ® to quickly process their payments. Stripe payment devices support in-clinic transactions using clients' preferred payment methods. The system integrates with the clinic's cloud-based PIMS, Covetrus Pulse ® , via Stripe Connect — allowing staff to collect payments directly within their existing workflow. The team can also take payments via mobile devices, using text-to-pay links to retrieve information within seconds, without manually retyping. This feature was a key reason for adopting the solution and is used frequently for onboarding new clients, collecting pre-payments, and easing sensitive conversations. Cruz also enjoys how easy it is to follow up on outstanding balances. "I just send an email alerting clients they have a balance due," says Cruz. Refunds are fast, too — since card details are stored securely in the system, there's no need to call clients for information again. Key outcomes Reduced Transaction Times Client-Preferred Secure Payment Methods Improved Client and Staff Experience Shorter Door-In Door-Out Times Thanks to the Stripe and Covetrus payment solution, Wicker Park saves measurable time per transaction — with fewer clicks and less data entry. Cruz noted that the time savings are especially significant over the phone, reclaiming two to three minutes per call that were previously spent capturing and verifying payment details. Clients benefit, too: their information is kept private during calls, and they can pay quickly and securely from their mobile device. The joint solution creates a better experience all around. Pet owners can pay the way they want, from wherever is most convenient — often right from their phone. Wicker Park's team is happier, too. "It makes my life and the front staff's so much easier," says Cruz. The result? Patients get in and out faster — with tails still wagging. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
