The Vault is where you can store card information securely for future payments. Bridge™ Payments offers three ways to do this:

1. Add a card to the Vault during transactions.
2. Add a card directly in the Vault (outside a transaction).
3. Send a Payment Authorization form via email or text for the patient to place their own card on file.

This article covers the third method: sending a Payment Authorization form via email or text for the patient to place their own card on file. To see all three methods, see Three Ways to Place a Card on File in Vault.

One of the actions you can take through Patient Express is to send patients a link to complete a digital registration form and store a Card on File in Vault ahead of their visit.

There are two ways you can send this invitation to register online:

• Method 1: Send the invitation to register online while you add a new patient to Patient Express.
• Method 2: Send a link to a patient who already has a record in Patient Express.
  Patients with a Patient Express record can be sent an invitation link in two ways: a registration invitation or a registration reminder.

See the following resources for instructions on how to send an online registration invitation link to a patient:

You can check a patient's registration progress after sending the invitation. See View a Completed Registration Form (Patient Express) for more information.
