Fiserv (First Data) - ICICI Merchant Services vs. WePay

The arena of companies to choose from to process credit/debit card payments at this level is ridiculously small. I was told which one we would be working with, and am unaware how the others compare(especially on processing fees), but I can only assume that they would be better to work with than FirstData after the overly complicated process we have gone through over the last couple years when we were told it would easily take less than a year.

If you need a basic payment processor for credit card transactions with low fees/rates, WePay will work just fine. We wish it had the ability to process multiple transactions through the use of a credit card swiper or at least an easier/faster solution than having to re-fill out the transaction page on the website over and over. This could be a limitation due to our integration with Classy

• [In my experience,] merchants will just follow this scam service and they will say they provide a refund to the customer but actually they will not do anything just use your money by giving unnecessary excuses.

• I'd like to see some advances in their customer service process - it's good, but occasionally my customers want just a bit more hand-holding.

We had previously used Elavon Merchant services. We found the provider to be more expensive and offer far less flexibility for our processing. Also, our processing was entirely manual and had to be done in the office.

These are linked to each other. There are multiple systems you have to use. One takes the credit card info and runs it and one puts the money into your account. It would be better to have one that does it all, if it exists. WePay seems to be one of the most commonly used websites of its type.

Incentivized

• Sales have increased in the past year because I have a dedicated site to selling products that people used to have to come in person to order. First Data along with putting everything up on my website definitely makes it easy for me to automate things.

Incentivized

• WePay has allowed us to focus on our core competency as opposed to spending time and money creating our own financial transaction system.
