Billtrust vs. BlueSnap

For a simple invoice-based organization, especially with multiple stores, Billtrust is an appropriate fit. While lacking in design and intuitive functionality, Billtrust got the job done as far as receiving payments from customers. However, if you are in a subscription-based business or one that invoices on a frequent repetitive manner, Billtrust may not be the best solution.

Bluesnap admin usability is much higher than other processing gateways on the market. The integration and reporting is above average

• Billtrust's customer service always replies within 24 hours, leaving the case open until it is verified to be resolved.
• The customer portal our credit managers access is exceptionally well designed, allowing us to see when an invoice was delivered, and even when the end-user opened it. There are built-in reports to answer almost any question.

Incentivized

• Sufficiently good technical documentation.
• Good sandbox (though missing some features).
• Stable, works quite well.
• Continuously improving.
• Great webinars, information sharing.
• Economic.
• A company of people.

Incentivized

• Search feature of PO or invoice #, etc. when logged in as the dealer.
• When logged in to Client Connect, would like to choose page number easily, instead of clicking Next Page as many times as needed.
• Have to scroll to right to display all columns when it looks like there is plenty of room to display them without a scroll bar.

Incentivized

• Launch support was lacking. They did help with initial setup but after that, it was tough to get questions addressed.
• Reporting is robust but complicated.
• Having support staff on both coasts.

We have a longstanding good record of invoice delivery and a high number of customers who are accustomed to the look and feel for logging to make payments

Not too busy or elaborate, able to quickly log in & start using right away

We deal with our customer's AR personnel to help resolve issues with our open invoices. They can help us but seem to be lacking in the overall understanding of the Billtrust software and why things may work the way they do. We have some accounts that are active that we have been unable to add to our corporate account, and as a result, these bills must be paid via check, and we are not currently receiving statements. It would be great if they had more robust customer service or maybe different criteria for creating accounts.

I was not here for the implementation

For a less tech-educated workforce, Billtrust did the job and required minimal developer resources on our end. Also, while Billtrust lacked in several arenas relative to Stripe, it was good for us since we were not a subscription-based business. For the price, Billtrust was a good solution for our invoice-to-pay business.

Merchant e solutions has a truly awful admin website and is clunky to use. There are almost no options for customization. Bluesnap allows configuration to fit our needs and a much better customer service experience.
