New integrated payment solution brings faster payouts, streamlined collections, and enterprise-grade security directly into Flex Dental workflows for Open Dental practices. ALPHARETTA, Ga., March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FlexDentalSolutions®, the workflow optimization platform built for Open Dental practices, today announced the launch ofFlexPayments powered by Stripe, a fully integrated payment processing solution designed to simplify how dental practices collect and manage payments.
Flex Dental launches FlexPayments powered by Stripe, connecting payment processing directly into Flex Dental workflows for Open Dental practices.
FlexPayments allows practices to accept in-office, online, and remote payments directly through Flex Dental while automatically posting transactions into the Open Dental database. By connecting payments to the same system used for scheduling, treatment planning, and patient communication, FlexPayments eliminates the disconnected tools and manual reconciliation that often slow down front desk operations.
Stop Relying on Disconnected Payment Systems
Dental teams have long relied on third-party processors and disconnected systems that introduce administrative complexity, increase reconciliation work, and create inconsistent payment experiences for patients.
FlexPayments addresses these challenges by connecting financial workflows directly to the systems practices already rely on to manage daily operations.
With FlexPayments, practices can:
Accelerate collections with Stripe-powered terminals, secure text-to-pay and email-to-pay options, and next-day payouts
Save valuable administrative time by eliminating double entry between payment systems and the Open Dental ledger
Reduce overdue balances through automated posting and simplified payment reminders
Protect sensitive payment data with PCI-compliance infrastructure and advanced fraud protection powered by Stripe
Give patients more ways to pay, including HSA/FSA cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay
Get up and running quickly with onboarding and training supported by Flex’s award-winning customer success team
Solving Key Payment Challenges for Open Dental Practices
“Dental practices shouldn’t have to manage a patchwork of payment tools just to collect what they’ve earned,” said Craig Cormack, General Manager of Flex Dental Solutions. “FlexPayments brings payments directly into the workflow practices already use every day. By integrating with Open Dental through Flex, teams gain faster payouts, clearer financial visibility, and a simpler experience for both staff and patients.”
Cormack added, “Our goal with FlexPayments is straightforward: reduce administrative friction while helping practices improve cash flow. When payments, scheduling, and patient communication live within the same ecosystem, teams spend less time reconciling transactions and more time focusing on patient care. Partnering with Stripe allows us to deliver enterprise-grade security and reliability alongside that operational simplicity.”
FlexPayments is More Than Payment Processing
FlexPayments extends the capabilities of the Flex Dental platform by connecting financial transactions directly into operational workflows.
Rather than relying on external processors or separate portals, FlexPayments enables practices to manage payments within the same environment used to run their practice.
FlexPayments provides:
Transparent pricing with predictable rates and no hidden fees
A unified vendor relationship without multiple contracts or third-party portals
Centralized financial visibility alongside scheduling, patient communication, and treatment planning
Dedicated support backed by Flex Dental’s customer success team
By bringing these capabilities together, FlexPayments helps dental teams maintain a single source of truth for operational, financial and patient data.
