What Our Customers Are Saying
"Since integrating Neo with CardConnect last year we have seen a significant decrease in check out times and incorrect payment input. After signing on to use Neo integrated payments, it only took 3 days to receive our Clover devices.
The virtual appointment to set them up was easy and quick! The longest part of the entire call was getting the devices unboxed and charged. We were up and running with Neo Payments within 24 hours of receiving the devices! The hospital staff were all proficient at Neo Payments use after the first day.
Being able to send texted or emailed payment links has made a significant decrease in the amount of missed or late payments due to clients forgetting their wallets or taking payment over the phone. Overall, we're very happy to have integrated Neo Payments with CardConnect into our practice."
- Katie Winchester, CVT, Veterinary Technician & Office Lead, Powder Mill Animal Hospital
“I’ve not had any issues with payments not being recorded in Cornerstone since we got Cornerstone Payments. It saves 10-15 minutes at the end of the day, and I never have to go back and double check for human error.”
- Sophie Roberts, Office Manager, Animal House Veterinary Hospital
“You think saving 20 or 30 seconds on each transaction wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but if you’re waiting for something to process while you have a client with a barking dog standing in front of you, it makes a really big difference if you can get that transaction done more quickly and seamlessly.”
– Christa Seekatz, Hospital Manager, Community Animal Hospital
