Changing Customer Communication Preferences
With version 7.27 of MediBooks it is now possible to send online payment requests to customers.
To send payment requests to a customer first, their contact details and delivery method need to be set. This can be done on an individual basis by editing the customers demographic information or by using the communication details dialog, both of which will allow editing details such as the delivery method or email address. The delivery method can also be updated for multiple accounts at once.
Changing the Communication Preferences for Individual Customers
The communications dialog can be accessed from two different places in MediBooks, the Front Desk and the Customer Details report.
To access the dialog from the Front Desk right-click on a customer and click on Communication Preferences.

Once you have made the desired changes, click Save to save and close the dialog.
