    This tool is most usable when used in parallel with Sage's accounting management software, as with other accounting systems it can generate errors, leaving room for other credit card payment processor alternatives to exist and be preferred by other potential users for their overall performance. It is promising the ability to develop transaction reports in summary or detailed form, resulting in a better management of income to then make the distribution of budgets in the company, thus achieving better planning and performance of our work. This service allows the processing of payments through touch screen card devices at POS points of sale without having to be sitting at your laptop, fortunately with face to face payments companies with fixed establishments can get their money faster, which constantly benefits the flow of money.

    Ignition (initially called Practice Ignition) performs quite well at proposal building, contract development, tracking and invoicing, payment and collections. The only issues where I see Ignition not being a good fit is in smaller firms that require a more feature rich plan. A perfect example is a solo firm has a limited number of proposals they can activate, and would have to spend extra for additional features like multiple e-signatures.

    Pros
    Elavon Inc.
    • Simple. If you use a Sage accounting product the integration is seamless.
    • PCI compliant. PCI compliance is assured through the provided Trustwave audit.
    • Secure. Keeps all card numbers remotely, none stored locally where they could be exposed by a hack or dishonest employee.
    • Robust. API for integrating into multiple web platforms and extensive reporting capabilities through the secure web portal.

    • Automatic Payments: You set up a proposal to collect payments once and you don't have to worry about bugging the client for payment every month.
    • Amazing support: I have always received answers from the support team within the same day. They are very patient and understanding.
    • Integrates with Xero: It integrates with our accounting software, making reporting faster.

    Cons
    Elavon Inc.
    • When you are reversing a credit card it just deducts from your total batch for the day. Instead of showing a separate charge out of the account. That can cause confusion if someone else is doing your bank reconciliation.
    • It would be nice is Sage Pay could copy over client emails as well as the address and other information so that you can send that email confirmation of charge without having to go back to pull it up.
    • If Sage could post it as a total deposit instead of each individual charge for the day that would also save time with bank reconciliation.

    • The charge back process is messy and not transparent enough. When there is a charge back, PI deducts the amount from other payments settling on the same day, and does not provide a break down of the amounts. This makes it impossible to track without getting help from support.
    • PI should send email alerts monthly (or at some interval determined by user) for expiring engagements.
    • PI should allow the client to make service selections -- we should be able to offer 2 or 3 options under a service offering, and the client chooses and sees the impact on monthly/annual pricing.
    • PI should allow for more than 2 templates (Business and Individual).
    • PI should integrate with Jet Pack Workflow to automate the creation of new jobs once a proposal is approved.

    The Ignition product is quite usable for the average user. The app has preloaded templates that can get even new-hires to navigate the software and set up proposals. The only area where I see the Ignition product lacking is the additional fees smaller firms may have to pay to get the full feature advantages of the product.

    It plays better with Sage 50. It has better associates should you have an issue. It's reasonably priced.

    You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

    • Eliminates clerical errors in recording paymens.
    • Eliminates one step in the payment reconciliation process by automatically posting payments to their respective transactions.
