Configuring credit card options

Before you can use Dentrix Ascend Pay to process credit card payments (in-office or online), you must configure the following credit card options for each location in your organization:

• Worldpay accounts - You should have at least one merchant account per location in your organization. To add an account to Dentrix Ascend, you need your merchant account credentials, which you can retrieve from the Worldpay iQ website (https://www.accessmyiq.com).

• Lanes - A merchant account can have any number of lanes. A lane is a unique pairing of a merchant account and a physical payment device. You can pair a single payment device to multiple accounts and pair multiple payment devices to one account.
