What is RhinoPay?

A convenient way to send payment requests to any contact within a Rhinogram account. Once the payment request has been sent, the contact will be able to follow a secure link from their phone to pay their bill. This is incredibly beneficial to an organization because in provides the ability to collect payments and avoid collections/write-offs without the cost of printing and mailing statements.

 

What is RhinoPay Consent and why is it needed?

In order to comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), an organization is required to get payment consent prior to texting a contact a payment request. A Member can mark/notate RhinoPay consent under the profile summary. HIPAA and RhinoPay consent are under the same area. 

 

By default, all contacts will have an “Unknown” RhinoPay consent status until a member updates their consent with either granted or denied. Unknown Consent will display in "Yellow" just as HIPAA consent does.

 

In order to change consent, use the slider. Slide right for granted or slide left for denied. This will enable the “Update Preference” button to display, then select Save Changes. Once saved, the colors will change to Green (Granted) or Red (Denied) and the badge color will also update accordingly.

 

How will a Member know that consent has been provided for a contact?

A RhinoPay badge will display next to a contact’s name as a visual indicator whether consent has been granted or not.


When RhinoPay consent has been updated, a thread event will also be created and this action is written to the Audit Log.



What is the recommended workflow to obtain consent for RhinoPay?

Use the RhinoPay Consent Template provided or create custom RhinoPay consent template. Send the template the contact, and wait for the contact to reply. This template can be viewed or edited in Settings->Templates

 

What permissions does a Member need to send a payment request?
