    Fiserv
    CardConnect is a good option for payment capture, but getting less experienced stores up and running takes significant effort compared to other processors we use. This seems to be due to poor communication since there isn't a dedicated rep familiar with the use case like we have with other processors.

    • Digital River's email marketing arm has always been top notch. They are very connected with their customers, quick to alert us to any problems they are experiencing and respond if we bring something to their attention.
    • The Global Commerce platform has grown leaps and bounds in the last few years. Its great having a cloud based ecommerce platform that can be accessed securely from any computer in the world.
    • Worldwide payments continues to be a Digital River strong point. They are continually investigating and and doing the work necessary to new countries and locales to their platform.

    • Their flexibility and customizability are lacking. Changes to our cart or store require a lot of lead time discussions and development time.
    • They have many strange UI implementations for things. One search bar is a wildcard match, while another is a string match. One setting might break your product, or be editable once, but you cannot change it after that one time.

    N/A I wasn't the person that implemented or recommended Digital River. But from an eCommerce standpoint I liked the organization overall and would recommend it.

    Fiserv
    CardConnect does not solve problems or have managers or supervisors that exist do so. Voicemail box of the appointed representative remains full when you need to reach them. Representative will fail to read email if "lengthy". When you call for customer service you are skirted around from department to department, and specific questions are not answered.

    We are considering moving to stripe soon. We find their POS to be comparable but their online processing features are integrated with far more platforms.
