## Reviews

### "Founder/owner" — 4.0/5

> **Abe** | *14 January 2025* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best part is the way I take payments all end up in a centralized reporting system so I can have a customer paying online and another in-person without the headache of data all over the place.
> 
> **Cons**: I’ve had instances when it’s taken awhile to get a customer service rep on the phone to help.
> 
> Overall the experience was positive and I’d recommend.

-----

### "Challenges with communication" — 4.0/5

> **Nicole** | *1 August 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seemed fairly simple to use and could get good details.
> 
> **Cons**: The reports are not always user-friendly to produce.   The payment gateway was challenging to install into our software and had challenges with customer service and their technical department in order to finally get it done.  It took a LONG time.

-----

### "Beware if badly developed infrastructure" — 2.0/5

> **Daniel** | *10 April 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Not really that much. If im honest ive never hqd a gjjd experience
> 
> **Cons**: Clunky and extremely user unfriendly. I found the constant requests for security verification highly annoying and unnecessary. It literally drove me mad as the user dashboard never seemed to work
> 
> Horrible in a word. They have a payment network but only use it if a 3rd party is piggybacking the network as you find yourself driven mad by their systems. Truly horrible experience

-----

### "Great credit card software" — 5.0/5

> **Linda** | *20 August 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of using the program for taking payment from our customers and keeping a record of each charge.
> 
> **Cons**: I really could not find anything wrong with the processing program but maybe if I was able to connect directly to my quickbooks desktop program.

-----

### "Essential payment system" — 5.0/5

> **Sadie** | *6 March 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s super simple and easy to use, user friendly system.
> 
> **Cons**: It’s not easy to go back to transactions and you can’t cancel them
> 
> Overall a good experience, wouldn’t use any other system
