Considered Both Products

Chose Worldpay from FIS
We looked at using Authorize.net and we went with Worldpay because it was most similar to our US backend. If we started from scratch, we would have harmonized and done both US and international on the same gateway as it would have simplified our overall landscape from …
Chose Worldpay from FIS
I have not used any other products like World Pay before.
Chose Worldpay from FIS
As our payment gateway, Authorize.net allowed us to adjust the settings for which customer information we want to verify before the transaction is approved. None of those options are available on WorldPay and they act like we're idiots for even asking. As a result, we've seen a …
Chose Worldpay from FIS
ANYONE would be better than Worldpay. My parent company requires its use. Otherwise, I would have run away screaming a long time ago.
Chose Worldpay from FIS
Vantiv provides many more options in the way of reporting than authorize.net and Paypal. Vantiv also lets you link multiple accounts to one login, which saves a lot of time. I would say that Vantiv's website is less reliable than that of authorize.net or Paypal, which can be …
Chose Worldpay from FIS
We have been using Vantiv for years, and have added other online payment options for other applications as needed. Some payment options are geared more toward donations, others are for mobile payments, others can do a little of both. Vantiv is what we use strictly for our …
SumUp
Chose SumUp
I particularly wanted a reader that had a screen (so the customer could see the amount being paid) and one that offered chip and pin entry as well as contactless. Some of the other providers I looked at didn't have those features. I compared the apps also and SumUp's app …
Chose SumUp
I strongly recommend its use as a means of payment due to its low processing rate and low anticipation rate, and because it has a high approval rate. In addition to having easy management via the portal with all the information clear and easy to find, this happens with Adyen …

Likelihood to Recommend
World pay from FIS is well suited to help our clients with storing credit cards on file in the software, memberships, offers a variety of payment options, etc. Typically it can be less suited for smaller businesses who are getting better rates from their local banks in town, compared to what World Pay can offer them.

As long as Vantiv continues to improve and we can get better responses from customer service, we will likely continue to use Vantiv. However, if customer service declines, we will likely look for something else

Many customer support employees of Vantiv do not seem to know much about the Vantiv website. I have been transferred around to as many as four different people to get an answer to what I thought was a simple question. I am not sure if it would be possible to receive adequate support for a more complex issue.

I particularly wanted a reader that had a screen (so the customer could see the amount being paid) and one that offered chip and pin entry as well as contactless. Some of the other providers I looked at didn't have those features. I compared the apps also and SumUp's app offered the nicest, and most easy-to-use, overall experience.

Return on Investment
  • Duplicate charges have caused untold damage to our reputation
  • I've spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to fix WP problems with AND without tech support help
  • We switched POS systems from CenterEdge to Roller, but issues persist
  • The problems we experience have been so vast that we will never know the true cost of the negative impact WorldPay has had on our business.
