We use Cardknox differently than I imagine most people would. For example, we do not use their client database feature, as we have all that stored in our medical system. Another type of business would likely find that feature a big help. We are very pleased with Cardknox's service and support, which is not often required.

Easy, stable, and effective financial data management and also excellent for multiple contacts management and easy to provide accurate reports on multiple payment processing and various project activities. The CyberSource features are simple and easy to custom their functionalities and even scheduling using the solution is an amazing and useful data visualization platform.

  • They have built the connections to multiple card providers so that a retailer does not need to build the code for each one separately.
  • The decision manager product catches and stops a lot of fraud from getting through and causing a large number or chargebacks.

  • 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

We have used other card processors, but in my opinion, Cardknox is in another league. Their product works; it is easy to install; it is constantly being improved, and they have great support.

Cybersource is a decent product but 2 things are driving us to look at others options. First is the lack of customer service. Every issue that requires help is dreaded as you know if will not be an easy process. This tags into the communication access with them. Multiple emails are generally required to get any response. There have been times when we requested information about PCI compliance that they never responded. Second is the cost savings with others processors. Currently we are leaning towards Elavon as their replacement.

Return on Investment
Cardknox
  • Patients are much more secure giving us their credit card information since we have switched to using Cardknox. They even have the option of entering it themselves to reduce any risk of the number being overheard to zero.
  • It is much faster and smoother to find and charge a card when necessary.
