Do my patients need to create an account for purchasing?
No — patients can complete checkout directly using the payment link without signing in, whether online or in-office.
Can my patient see the wholesale price?
At checkout, if you choose the “Dropship Order” option for your order, your patient will not see the price you paid. This option is automatically selected for patient orders to ensure privacy and prevent pricing details from being disclosed to the patient.
