We will show you a list of all your existing Active payment plans. Check the box to the left of any plan you wish to transfer. Then, click Next Step on the bottom right.
Step 2: Finalize Email
Customize the email your selected clients will receive. We provide you a template to make things easier.

The email will come directly from you and your firm.

What happens to my payment plans that aren’t transferred to PantherPayments within 90 days of signing up for PantherPayments?
Payment plans that are still in PracticePanther and have not been successfully migrated to PantherPayments are still active in your existing payment processor. However, payments received on those plans will no longer be shown on your PracticePanther dashboard. Instead, those plans will show as “Disconnected” meaning payment received will not sync to PracticePanther automatically. If you would like to cancel those plans, please go to your previous payment processor to do so.
Payment plan transfer recap

Once a plan is transferred it will be automatically cancelled with your former processor
We no longer support payment plans without an end date. Any active payment plans with no end date will be set to run for an additional five years from the date the plan is transferred
Plans associated with bank accounts not connected to PantherPayments will instead be linked to your respective default operating or trust PantherPayment accounts.
