While Cybersource is a big player it isn't the most easy to communicate with.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cybersource is our current payment Gateway for our ecommerce sales. It is also connected to our ERP through a 3rd party ISV. Our various sales channels either connect directly to Cybersource via API's or through our 3rd party connection (Red Maple) and their CyberSource connected API's. We use tokenization, pre-authorizations, charges and refunds.

Pros

  • API connections to access tools
  • Searching for customer transactions
  • Issuing refunds is quick and easy

Cons

  • Support is not very responsive
  • Reports in the system are cumbersome
  • Site navigation is not intuitive

Most Important Features

  • API connections
  • Ease to make refunds
  • Ease of 3rd party vendors to work with them

Return on Investment

  • The customer service is frustrating when you are dealing with a time sensitive issue
  • Trying to get communication from someone regarding feature inquiries is very difficult
  • We have been able to setup our sales channels with direct connections, saving time

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Unprofessional company. I got a quote for their payment gateway and made an appointment to review it. The account manager, Joe Murray, blew me off. A week’s worth of attempts via email and phone to contact him went without a response. I called to see if I could get another account manager, they said I had to stay with Mr. Murray and he was available today and they sent him a note to get back to me today. Of course, he didn’t. Do they want my business or not? If they do not, at least have to courtesy to tell me. I was recommended by my current gateway to contact them because my current gateway cannot do what I want. They should at least give me the respect to tell me they cannot help me.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Processing Customer credit card payments: When a customer checks out a web order, the business's website provides the customer with a window hosted by CyberSource. The customer enters their card details, and CyberSource routes the transaction to the Visa or Mastercard payment network. The network routes the transaction to the card issuer for approval.

Pros

  • PCI DSS compliance
  • High success rate
  • integration with Visa, Mastercard, and our CRM

Cons

  • fees- competitive, but budget for them
  • price transparency- it's hard to know exactly what you're being charged for. We are charged a small % of each incoming payment batch, so AR reconciliation is more difficult
  • implementation- significant time and expertise required to get everything up and running smoothly

Most Important Features

  • Compliance- no customer card data is stored on site
  • competitive pricing
  • seamless- most customers do not experience declined charges, it works with Visa nad Mastercard, little or no need for regular interaction between our staff and CyberSource

Return on Investment

  • reduced time processing customer card payments
  • reduced compliance cost
  • improved website experience for customer
