Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) are tax-advantaged accounts offered by employers that allow holders to use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health expenses. Funds in an FSA have to be used by the end of the year, unless the employer offers a grace period of up to 2.5 months into the following year.

A health savings account (HSA) is a type of savings account that sets funds aside for health-related expenses. HSAs are similar to FSAs but are limited to people with high-deductible health plans. Account holders fund their HSAs by withholding a portion of their pre-tax paycheck or by making a direct tax-deductible contribution at any time. HSA funds do not expire and roll over year to year if the funds are not spent. Also, HSAs can be placed in an investment fund and grow tax-free over time.

FSA and HSA spending is an overlooked $140 billion market in the United States. By accepting FSA and HSA payments, you would unlock new revenue streams, see a boost in average order value and conversion, and inspire customer loyalty.
