Patient information is stored encrypted (using FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validating HSMs). We use SSL to ensure all patient information transmitted through the Glowday platform is encrypted and protected in transit between your device and our servers.
Patients have control of their personal and sensitive data, being able to update and edit in real time, and manage their preferences.
Patients and clients are able to enable Multi-factor authentication (MFA) which is a security mechanism designed to enhance the protection of your online account.
It adds an extra layer of security beyond the traditional username and password combination, making it significantly more difficult for unauthorised individuals to gain access to your Glowday account and the sensitive data held within it.

Here’s a video showing you how to upload your patient list to your GlowdayPRO Patient Directory.
If you’re struggling to upload your patient list into your directory, here are a few things to check:
Is there any missing data? Each row of data needs to be complete, with a name, surname, email and phone number. Ensure all rows are complete.
Do you have any landlines? Phone numbers must be mobile phone numbers.
Do all phone numbers start with a 0? If, when you save your spreadsheet as a CSV, it keeps removing the 0, change the format of the phone number column to TEXT. This will allow you to keep the phone number in the correct format.
Does your CSV have a Header/Title? Ensure your CSV file does not have a Header/Title. Some spreadsheet software automatically adds a Header/Title. Make sure, when you save your CSV, there is no additional heading or title.
-

Bookings & Records
-
You can find a patient record by logging in and using the search bar at the top of the dashboard.
You can search by patient name or booking reference.
-
The Patient Directory is a list of all your patients.
From here you’re able to see their name, contact details, their log in method (if they have a Glowday account) and you’re able to download a CSV of your directory.
You can also click on each patient and open their Patient Record and view their details, their bookings, their patient notes and any booking related emails that have been sent.
-
Due to insurance purposes, you’re not able to delete a patient record.
If you have a patient who has moved away, or you have disengaged, and no longer want them to be an “active patient”, you can open their Patient Card and uncheck the Active Patient box.
This makes the patient “inactive”. When patients are inactive, they cannot be added to bookings, nor do they count towards your subscription amount.
If an inactive patient books with you again, and has another treatment, they will become Active once more.
-
This depends on whether you wish to be protected from late cancellations and no shows.
Any booking a patient makes themselves, via your booking link, is automatically confirmed. These bookings are GOLD. They add their card details to the booking and confirm it as part of that booking process.
Where a practitioner adds a booking to their diary, this is a pending booking. These bookings are PINK. The patient gets an email and a text message inviting them to confirm their booking.
If you want the platform to protect you from late cancellations and no shows, you want your patients to receive appointment reminders, and you want the option of taking payment via the platform at the end of the treatment, they must confirm their appointment.
Here are some options where patients don’t confirm their appointments:
Do nothing. If you’re not concerned about the patient late cancelling or not turning up, you may choose to leave the pink, unconfirmed booking in your diary.
Re-send the “Confirm your booking” email and text. You can do this by opening the booking in the diary and clicking “RESEND REMINDER”.
Cancel unconfirmed bookings from your diaries a few days prior to the appointment. This frees up the space within the diary. Share your link with the patient to book in if they still require the appointment. This protects you from late cancellations and no shows.
-
Your patient adding their card details is the equivalent of them paying a deposit.
Firstly, reassure them that their card details are stored by Stripe (not you, and not Glowday). Stripe is the largest payment platform in the world and if they use Amazon, Deliveroo and many other online businesses, their card details are likely already stored in Stripe.
Secondly, when appointments are confirmed by clients, they add their card details. No money is debited at point of booking, instead, where late cancellations or no shows occur, the fee amount is debited from the patient's card.
If they don’t wish to add their card details, you’re not protected from late cancellations or no shows. So it is up to you to decide whether you’re happy for them to continue without confirming their appointment, as it’s you who isn’t protected should they late cancel or no show.

You don’t need to send forms.

Patients must be opted in to receive automated reminders. They can opt in by heading to Glowday.com and logging in to their account, where they can update their preferences.
Payments
-
When patients book via your booking link, or confirm an appointment you add to your diary, they add their card details to the booking and confirm it as part of that booking process.
Their card is stored by Stripe (not you, and not Glowday). Stripe is the largest payment platform in the world and if they use Amazon, Deliveroo and many other online businesses, their card details are likely already stored in Stripe.
No money is debited at point of booking, instead, where late cancellations or no shows occur, the fee amount is debited from the patient's card when you mark them as a no show or a late cancellation.
If you conduct the treatment and take payment by clicking the green GLOWDAY TAKE PAYMENT button, the funds are taken from the patient's linked card and are moved into your Stripe account. 2 days later, these are paid out into your bank account.
-
No, you can take payments via the platform, or offline (card, cash, bank transfer).
-
There are 2 day payout terms. So the funds should be in your bank account, minus any charges, in 2 working days.
-
Here’s a video showing you how to take a late cancellation or no show payment.
If a patient cancels their appointment late, or no shows, you can implement your late cancellation and no show policy.
If a patient cancels via their account area within the 48hr late cancellation period, they will automatically be charged the late cancel fee you have set.
-
Here’s a video showing you how to apply a discount.
Once you have completed the Treatment Record, you can add any additional items, and apply a discount by typing in the amount.
-
No. Glowday doesn’t integrate with split payment providers.
If you offer this, you can click one of the offline payment buttons and take payment outside of the platform.

Reviews
-
Glowday reviews are invite only. Here’s how Glowday reviews work:
1) You complete the treatment / course of treatments, forms are signed withit the platform OR you’ve taken payment via Glowday
2) The following day your patient is sent an email with the subject line
⭐️ Please review <Practitioner name> ⭐️
3) To leave the review, they open the email, select the star rating & type in their review within the email and submit their review
4) the review is automatically published to your booking page
5) If they don't complete a review, reminder emails are sent 7 & 14 days later
⭐️ We can't resend review requests
⭐️ Where a course of treatments has been booked, the review invite is sent once that full course is completed.
⭐️ Review invites ARE sent - before you ask us to check, get your patients to check their junk and their deleted folder. EVERY TIME we check they’ve been sent, they have been!
⭐️ If they've not left you a review after 3 email invites, sending another email invite is not going to prompt them to write a review!
-
No.
Glowday reviews are invite only.
Only patients who have had treatments completed and paid for within the Glowday platform are invited to leave Glowday reviews.
You’re not able to upload existing reviews from other platforms, as we are unable to verify their authenticity.
-
If you have completed the treatment / course of treatments and either forms were completed and signed within Glowday OR you’ve taken payment via Glowday, a review invite will have been sent to the patients email address in their Patient Record Card.
It may be that they have previously marked an email from our domain as spam, which will either prevent future emails from being sent to them, or will filter emails from our domain into their spam/junk folder.
Ask them to search “Glowday review” in all inboxes.
-
Reviews are published automatically, once they have been through a profanity filter. It usually takes a few hours from the point of being submitted to being published.
