User Testimonials
	CardConnect	Vend
Likelihood to Recommend	CardConnect is a good option for payment capture, but getting less experienced stores up and running takes significant effort compared to other processors we use. This seems to be due to poor communication since there isn't a dedicated rep familiar with the use case like we have with other processors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Vend was great fit for this dry cleaner/laundry that had high traffic volume with customers stopping in before and after work. Things need to be done quickly. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Pros	Online user interface for charging. Reporting Setting up custom pre made billing packages. Incentivized Thomas Pittman Director of Marketing Read full review	Retail sales Inventory management Sales and promotions Reporting Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Cons	customer service stealing money unclear contract/forever changing contract terms Melanie Rongone Owner Read full review	It would be nice to have alternate ways to adjust prices Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Support Rating	The team is very much agile to help. But they need more documentation provided. Incentivized HK Hamim Khan Senior Product Manager Read full review	Not much support needed but they were fast and helpful when it was. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Rosy salon software made me choose CardConnect. They are no longer affiliated for many reasons. Melanie Rongone Owner Read full review	Vend is much more capable than Square POS for product management and inventory control. ShopKeep is fairly similar to Vend but is a more closed ecosystem with fewer third-party integrations and less frequent updates. Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	It has been easy to configure. it has boosted our sales at the client interest. Incentivized HK Hamim Khan Senior Product Manager Read full review	For a small business, it was important to keep the cost low Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
