Any subscription based use and checkout for a service or software. I personally use it to manage our client retainers and it does a good job at showing real time statistics on the dashboard. I have a large team and several project managers who access the dashboard including my own executive assistant so the security features for logins and access are a plus.
[I feel] customer service never actually fixes any problems. They make you gather information they easily could, write up a big report of the problem, and then tell you why it's not working (usually not even correct). [In my experience] they never actually solve a problem. Not to mention, [in my experience] you can never speak with anyone immediately and coms turnaround is usually over 24 hours.
So far, I can not get my customers to checkout online, even after hiring professional developers to help.
[I believe] QBO sync is a mess.
My account is set up to send payment tokens to Authorize.Net, and no matter how much I disable every possible security feature, I still have 100's of declined cards, that work perfectly well.
It's very easy to use once you know what you're doing. I found it very straight forward once I got the hang of things and was able to create plans easily for my business. I was also able to just charge my clients right away easily. Refunding was also easy when needed.
Chargebee is a class apart from Zoho Books - better in all aspects - better interface, more functionalities, integrations that actually work, responsive support, customisable automated reporting, more customizability. The only difference is pricing - Zoho comes at about 10% of what Chargebee costs. So for startups looking to graduate from Google Sheets and on a budget - Zoho will serve your purposes - but eventually will have to move to something like a Chargebee.
PayKickstart is an established named and has a repute of its own. PayKickstart is powerful and versatile. You can use it for a very simple one time fee checkout. Very easy to setup and compared to other platforms, lets you control the products and get daily insights of our data.
Chargebee has allowed us to focus on the most important part of our business: the product, instead of cumbersome development to manage subscriptions. The time ROI that it saved allowing us to get our product to market was invaluable.
Chargebee also made sense financially. Paying the subscription was far cheaper than developing something similar (or even far inferior) ourselves
Overall it's saved us quite a bit of time, money, and allows employees to easily manage subscriptions which is extremely important to us.
