OVERVIEW
Once a compound is made, it can't go back on the shelf. Every script sitting unpaid in the will-call bin is ingredients you bought, labor you spent and time you can't bill for. Tabz is a pharmacy commerce platform built for compounding, and its integration with PK Software, a PCCA company, is fully bidirectional. Whether you're new to online payments or already using Tabz, this is the first time payment status lives inside PK.
HOW IT WORKS
Your point-of-sale system collects when the patient is standing in front of you. But with compounding, the money is already spent by then. Tabz works in the window before they walk through the door, while your counter keeps running on whatever you use today.
All you do is send a payment request the moment a prescription hits your queue. The status updates inside PK, and you start compounding when the money clears. No more calling patients for card numbers or chasing a signature at pickup.
- Prescribe. The prescription arrives in PK the way it always has.
- Order. Tabz auto-creates the order from PK; nobody rekeys anything.
- Message. The patient gets a text and email with a secure payment link.
- Pay. They choose delivery, pay and sign; status flows back into PK in real time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. The integration is native to PK Software. No separate portal, and no change to how prescriptions enter your queue.
No, and it isn't trying to. Your POS handles the counter. Tabz handles everything before it. The two run side by side.
Phone payments work, but they cost you twice: staff time on every call, and card-not-present processing rates on every transaction. Tabz collects the same money without the call and without the surcharge.
