$0 to join and a $5,000 credit that never expires: how AffinityRx billing works
Getting started with a new compounding pharmacy usually means contracts, minimums and per-pharmacy billing; the fix is a marketplace with one account and one invoice. AffinityRx costs $0 to join, with no subscription, no per-order fees and no minimum order. Clinics preload a $5,000 credit that goes 100% to orders, never expires and is refundable after a 90-day trial, and clinics typically save about 10% versus their current price.

Why the credit model saves money and time
AffinityRx's credit is a prepaid balance, not a fee, so every dollar goes to medication.
AffinityRx makes no charge to join, no subscription and no per-order fee, so the $5,000 credit works like a gift card spent on your own orders. Because clinics see every pharmacy's price side by side, they typically save about 10% versus their current price; across 18 common SKUs priced by 3 or more pharmacies, the lowest price averaged 13.7% below the median pharmacy price. One invoice and one order export replace a reconciliation per pharmacy. See compounded medication prices.
