PaySimple vs. Swipe

We're a marketing agency and it's worked perfectly for our recurring payment retainers (same amount each month).

It would also work well for a company with a set product line up or a company that wants a more traditional "store" setup.

Swipe is well suited to small and medium companies with under 50 employees. It's perfect for recording and sharing transactions with users.

• Their Support is very responsive and helpful. Any time that I have had trouble understanding an email I received from Pay Simple or how to update something on an invoice, I have used the chat feature. The agents are quick and provide great step by step instructions to assist. If they did not have a solution, they assured me it would be submitted as a request to development or let me know when it would be coming.
• I love the ease of initially beginning/charging a payment (either one time or recurring). It is not time-consuming and is very straightforward which is helpful when entering multiple new payments a day. Everything I need to enter a new payment is directly on the home screen and easy to find.
• I appreciate the clean layout of the homepage.

Incentivized

• Amazing UI
• Paperless system
• Accessibility from anywhere
• No accounting experience needed
• Tracks all payments and documents

• More proactive and empowering role in merchant fee's and alternative processors. Transparency is challenging in understanding Paysimple's role and relationship to the processors.
• Identifying areas for further value to clients.
• More targeted small to mid-size business perspective to anticipate growth challenges and prevent blocks on funds for legitimate sales and growth.

Incentivized

• Third party integrations

I found PaySimple through another company. They offered integrated platforms for invoicing and follow-up questionnaires with our clients. I would never recommend PaySimple to a friend. In my experience, customer service could care less about helping you with a simple name change or becoming PCI compliant. The overall cost to our company became unbearable.

We still use Tally for wider accounting. We tried Zoho and Quickbooks in the past. They are way bigger in terms of features but the UI is complicated and not user-friendly. The learning curve is high for any new comer.

• Because we've got a really awesome rate with them it's definitely a positive ROI. I can't say what that figure is but it's pretty good. Also, our customers have a huge ROI over their prior way of getting payment from their customers.

Incentivized

• We send amazingly professional invoices to customers
• Absolutely no training required to operate
