Shockingly high service fees!

Pros

Well the customer support team was helpful and resolved the problems we faced. Plus they assisted us in fixing the bugs and other issues we found with the point of sale system.

Cons

The service fees were shockingly high and we did not get good value at all. I mean they were charging us nearly a thousand dollars every month for services we did not even need.

Froze our income for weeks

Pros

The login process was simple but after using their service for several weeks, we discovered that a significant amount of our money, $28,000 had never been deposited into our bank account.

Cons

Our income was frozen for three weeks because they failed to verify our bank details, sending $28,000 to the wrong account. After we finally recovered the funds and canceled, they had the nerve to charge us an early termination fee for their own massive error.

Better stay away!!

Pros

Our contract explicitly stated that our fees would average 2.65% of our monthly processing volume. However our account was overcharged by $3,739.52 for March, $3,778.97 for April and $2,392 for May. These excessive, unauthorized fees directly violate the rates promised to us by support team and represent a material breach of our agreement.

Cons

Stay away from them! They broke their contractual promises and surprised us with an overnight fee increase. This company operates without any moral compass and shows no concern for its clients needs.
