Worldpay from FIS vs. Visa Acceptance Solutions (CyberSource)

Vantiv is excellent for companies that need to be able to accept credit cards and want to keep accurate reports. However, if you ever need to contact customer service or your account rep, be prepared to be extremely frustrated. Vantiv recently merged with another company, and we are having a very difficult time getting information from our account manager about how to access out account now.

For basic users it is probably a good fit. For connecting it's API's are straightforward and most would find it an easy connection to be made. The site overall is just not designed well. When you try to look at transactions a portion of the information is cut of without a scroll bar being added to slide to the fields you would like to see. If you need to see the data on the screen you need to make some adjustments.

• It has broad support for networks and software solution.
• It is fairly easy to implement and configure.
• Has good technical support when you have the proper contact.

• 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.
• They also connect to PayPal making it easy to add them to any website as a payment method.

• In my experience, Some of the WORST tech support/customer service I've ever experienced
• Two of the last four years, gift cards crashed for multiple days during our Black Friday sale
• Duplicate charges
• Fraud controls are weak and (for gift cards) cost extra for dubious protection
• It took them over a month (and constant badgering) to give us a copy of our contract
• The system crashes quite a bit, leaving our locations without any ability to charge customers
• I dread having to deal with WorldPay, yet have to on a daily, if not weekly, basis

• 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

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

Easy! Easy! Easy!

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.

ANYONE would be better than Worldpay. My parent company requires its use. Otherwise, I would have run away screaming a long time ago.

Payeezy does not provide fraud check facility and they provide JS based integration. Since client wants server side integration due to security and fraud check as well in place of using another third party for fraud. We went ahead with Cybersource

Incentivized
