If you're a psychologist, physical therapist, nutritionist, or any other self-employed healthcare professional, you probably already know what it's like to waste time—and money—manually managing appointments, payments, and reminders.
The good news: you don't need to be a tech expert to start selling online professionally. All you need are the right tools and someone to set them up for you.
Why do so many professionals still rely on the phone and paper?
Digitization isn't a matter of motivation. It's a matter of time, trust, and resources.
Most healthcare professionals who work alone face the same situation:
- They have a full schedule of patients but manage appointments via WhatsApp or by phone
- They accept payment in cash or by bank transfer, without any automated record-keeping
- They send reminders manually, or they don't send them at all
- They use third-party platforms like Doctoralia or Calendly, which charge a commission for each booking
- They do not offer automatic invoicing and do not comply with regulations such as VeriFactu
The result: hours wasted each week on administrative tasks that could be automated in minutes.
According to industry data, a freelance professional can lose between €200 and €400 a month in booking platform fees alone.
What does “selling online” really mean for a healthcare professional?
When we talk about selling online, we’re not talking about setting up a store on Amazon or learning advanced digital marketing.
For an independent healthcare professional, selling online means:
- Let your patients book appointments with you anytime, right from their mobile devices
- Let the payment be processed automatically, without delays or misunderstandings
- Have them receive a reminder before the appointment to reduce last-minute cancellations
- You receiving the money directly into your account, with no middlemen
- Ensure that everything is properly recorded and invoiced in accordance with Spanish law
In short: your practice will run more professionally without you having to keep track of every little detail.
The 3 Most Common Mistakes When Trying to Go Digital
1. Using too many different tools
Calendly for bookings, PayPal for payments, WhatsApp for reminders, Excel for records... The result is a jumble of platforms that don't communicate with each other and create more work, not less.
2. Relying on platforms that charge a commission
Doctoralia, TherapyRoute, and similar platforms are useful for initial patient acquisition, but if all your business goes through them, you’re giving up a portion of your revenue indefinitely. And what’s worse: your patients become the platform’s clients, not yours.
3. Not having your own online presence
A profile on a third-party platform is not your brand. When that profile disappears or changes its terms, you lose everything. Having your own platform means you control your image, your data, and your relationship with patients.
The easiest approach: a proprietary platform with no technical complications
The solution isn't for you to learn how to code or become an expert in digital marketing. The solution is to have a platform designed specifically for your type of business, set up by someone who understands your needs, and ready to go from day one.
This is exactly what Praxis by Veltis Digital does.
Praxis is a practice management platform designed for independent healthcare professionals. No commissions. Branded with your logo. Up and running in 1–2 weeks
What does Praxis include?
- An online calendar featuring your brand and colors, available 24/7 for your patients
- Commission-free online payments, compatible with over 100 payment methods
- Automatic invoicing in accordance with VeriFactu (mandatory in Spain starting in 2027)
- CRM integrated with patient history and follow-up
- Automatic reminders via email and WhatsApp to reduce no-shows
- No minimum contract and technical support included
How much does it cost, and how much can you get back?
Praxis has a transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees:
- Full implementation: €1,000 (one-time payment, payable in 12 monthly installments of €83)
- Monthly support: €50/month (no minimum contract term)
- Booking fee: 0%
What does this mean in real terms? If you’re currently paying 15–20% commissions to third-party platforms, with just 10 patients a month paying €60 per session, you’re already losing between €90 and €120 a month. Over the course of a year, that’s between €1,080 and €1,440 that you could have kept.
