Good solutions for payment processor

Reviewed on 2022/09/11

Pros

Braintree is a trustworthy and straightforward online payment service. PayPal's accreditation bolsters the software's stature for safety and dependability. Membership invoicing solution that is both convenient and unrestricted on an international scale.

Cons

No in-house technical specialists control system implementation choices like Shopify integration. Hence, you must rely on 3rd party developers to install new elements or manage client connectivity circumstances.

Pretty Good Software With Some Minor Quirks

Reviewed on 2021/10/26

Pros

Finding certain transactions is pretty easy, so it taking credit card payments. It does what it needs to.

Cons

This is a very minor issue in the grand scheme of it all, but you wouldn't believe how annoying and inconvenient it is. When taking a credit card payment, if you put a comma in the amount of the transaction (ie: $1,000 rather than $1000), it will not accept the transaction, and brings you back to the same page without the credit card number. It is the most infuriating thing I have ever encountered, and when you have a customer on the phone, asking them to repeat the CC number it is quite frustrating. We also can't connect BT to Netsuite so we have to manually enter credit card transactions.

miserable product - they create unbelievable accounting headaches

Really don't like this service. Furious right now still trying to close our books a month late, working to fire them as soon as possible.

Pros

not a complete fraud, they do actually send our money

Cons

they've sent our money to the wrong bank account for over a year, despite spending months trying to get them to correct it. Refused to fix the problem, so we have to transfer money from an old company and create all new accounting entries. And reporting is terrible so it's a nightmare trying to find and match transactions. We lose dozens of hours every time we try to close our books. Braintree was absolutely useless in correcting the issue.

Generally it's good but adding more robust features like other credit card processors would be helpful.

Pros

It is simple to use, fees are reasonable and seem to change depending on volume dynamically. Direct entry for phone payments is much easier than other solutions we have used, which is our primary payment method. It works well on our website as well.

Cons

It is hard to tell exactly the fee calculations. Their record keeping is not as transparent and solid as I would like.
