With CareCredit’s flexible online platform, your location has one solution so your patients or clients can learn, apply, calculate and pay on their own, empowering them with a great way to move forward with care.
Here’s how your in-office device helps support all the ways you provide care:
- Self-guided financing. Your patients or clients can learn, apply, calculate and pay directly with a user-friendly interface that’s self-explanatory and self-guided.
- Private and secure. No need to share sensitive financial information, check patient IDs, or retain signed paper applications.
- More freedom for team members. Your team can still help your patients or clients meet their financial needs without taking time away from care-focused conversations.
- Insights on who’s ready with financing. Since your software is associated with your CareCredit merchant ID number, you can see who has applied, been approved and has available credit.

How to Use In-office Device Software Features
Start an application
Before asking the patient or client to apply on your in-office device, ensure you have given them a paper copy of the current CareCredit application terms and conditions. On the in-office device homepage, have the patient or client click “Apply” and follow the prompts to complete the application. If the patient or client has already been preapproved through a Quickscreen® offer you created, it will be also displayed here.
Optional: Create a Quickscreen® pre-approval application
Using either Provider Center or the CareCredit Integrated Hosting Solution, you have the option to see if your patient or client is preapproved prior to them applying online. If the patient or client is preapproved, the offer will automatically be retrieved and displayed on the device after user enters the matching personal information.
Optional: Create a prefilled application
If you are using the CareCredit Integrated Hosted Solution, you also have the option to prefill patient or client information ahead of time to expedite their application process. This can include address, phone and email information. To prefill an application:
- Launch the CareCredit Integrated Hosted Solution.
- Click Apply, then under “Submit a New Application”, select “Send Application to Device”.
- Enter/verify the data and click “Send”.
Start a transaction
Once the patient or client is approved for a CareCredit credit card, they can use it to pay right away using one of the following:
- Patient or client can click the “Pay Provider” button on the application approval page to start the payment. The new card information will be automatically carried through. Note that you can expedite this for the patient or client by prefilling the purchase in Provider Center or in the CareCredit Integrated Hosted Solution. Follow the prompts to send payment to device prior to patient or client starting payment.
- Patient or client can click the “Pay” button on the homepage to start the payment. They will need to enter their credit card information or look up their account.

Follow the prompts to send payment to device prior to patient or client starting payment.
- You can process a payment directly via Provider Center or your Integrated Hosted Solution.
Make sure to print two copies of the receipt: one for the cardholder and the other for the cardholder to sign and remain on file for 72 months. This applies to all transactions that are completed on your in-office device or behind the counter.
