Payment Security

Your payment information is handled securely:

Secure Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We never store your full card number.

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Tokenization: Your card details are tokenized by Stripe
  • No storage: We never store or have access to your full card number
  • Fraud protection: Advanced fraud detection prevents unauthorized charges

Troubleshooting

My payment was declined

Common reasons for declined payments:

  • • Insufficient funds
  • • Card expired
  • • Incorrect billing address
  • • Card issuer blocked the transaction

Try updating your payment information or contact your bank if the issue persists.

I see an unexpected charge

Check Settings → Billing → Invoices to see all charges. Common causes of unexpected charges include:

  • • Annual renewal
  • • Added team seats
  • • Plan upgrade

If you still don't recognize a charge, contact support with the charge date and amount.

My bank verification isn't working

Bank (ACH) verification requires confirming small test deposits. Check your bank statement for two small credits from PatientNotes, then enter those amounts to verify. This can take 1-2 business days.
