Summary
During payment, callers enter card details through the phone keypad, sending them directly to Stripe while the agent receives only transaction status and limited confirmation data. Cedar, an early user, reported that 71.3% of calls in which patients begin payment end successfully.
Why it matters
The integration moves agents from support and information tasks into revenue-generating transactions while preserving a separation between the agent and raw payment credentials.
