## Reviews

### "A Small Business' Best Friend" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 December 2018* | Wireless | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The simplistic and colorful interface is easy to read, you can go as in-depth with the data as you want, multiple pricing options
> 
> **Cons**: I wish that there was a mobile or tablet app, so it would be easier to access or connect to

-----

### "Paystone is good enough but there is better available" — 4.0/5

> **Dave** | *28 October 2022* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to reward my regular clientele, collect contact information for our newsletter and offer a trackable gift card that is easy to use for my staff and clientele.
> 
> **Cons**: The dashboard is not very clear and the fact that it's not a one card fits all is a bit problematic and costly as you need one card for the gift card and one card for the loyalty program.
> 
> Pretty good once you get used to it.

-----

### "Over priced, Poor Service" — 2.0/5

> **Farley** | *15 June 2022* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10

>

### "Press'd Paystone Review" — 5.0/5

> **Scott** | *14 April 2021* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The gift car functionality is easy to use from loading gift cards all the way to customer redemption. The reports are easy to run and they allow you to easily mine all relevant data, quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: We would like to sell digital gift cards that could be emailed out to our customers instead of having to mail them physical cards. This function is available but seemed a bit expensive for us. That said, we are a smaller operation so it could be priced fairly for the market.
> 
> Very happy with Paystone and especially the customer service they offer. They are always available to hear us out if we have issues or questions and we feel very well taken care of.
