An Excellent Payment Collection Tool for Groups

Reviewed on 2023/04/21

Pros

Easy for us to use and offers a simple, customizable payment page that we can use to collect money virtually. Also, a good feature is the automatic reminders to help ensure that payments are made on time, as well as tracking tools to help groups keep track of who has paid and who still needs to pay.

Cons

None so far. I haven't experienced bad using this platform.

They suddenly stopped our service, we cannot see any of the monies in the account. Not sure if they robbed us, but on first glance it looks like they did.

Pros

organization of data, payment processing under category

Cons

stopped our account without notice, no communication on what happened

Response from Cheddar Up

Hi Priyanka,
Our software is built for group organizers to collect payments and information from their community. Unfortunately, we couldn’t process billing for your medical services as our product features do not support this. As soon as our team discovered that it wouldn’t work for your use case, we notified you and have been working with you to ensure you receive all of your funds prior to your account closure. If you still have questions or need further assistance, please contact our support team.
Thank you,
Stephanie
