    PhonePe
    Chose PhonePe
    The only thing that I find as a reason to use phonePe is the ease, comfort and convenience in doing what you want from a payment app. You get multiple competitors but you need to select for the best UX

    I have only scratched the surface of Google Pay's capabilities because we do not have a physical store. I believe the benefits would increase for locations where smartphone payment is already underway in physical stores that also do online sales. If your business deals with very little foot traffic or does not offer a variety of payment choices, do more research before adding Google Pay as an option — Google Pay is an eager competitor to Apple Pay, and therefore offers businesses opportunities to run promotions and other incentives to adopt Google Pay currently, so it still may be worthwhile to smaller businesses. Google Pay is about to implement a banking option, which will likely add to the number of users and therefore excited customers with Google Pay to spend with you. The web implementation seems simple and should be a good addition to websites where multiple payment types are available.

    Primary benefit is hassle-free payment to the merchant. You can purchase both online and offline without using cash to make the payment. Simply scan the QR code using the Phonepe app on your smartphone to make a payment into the merchant's account. And as said, its rewarding, you surely get a scratch card on every transaction that may either offer you cashback or a discount code for some vendor site shopping.

    Harbortouch is a powerful and robust POS system. After using other methods and training on a couple of different designs, Harbortouch is far ahead of the rest regarding functionality, ease of use, and error-free transactions. It has an excellent reporting tool that is easy to use and "item" editing features that make using the system quick and easy. As checkout is in process, and the customer keeps changing their mind, or the cashier makes errors, the system makes it very quick and easy to edit to keep the transaction in process.

    Cons
    Google
    • It would be helpful if Google Pay could sync with things like Apple Pay so that saved payment methods can be automatically imported
    • There are certain times when Google Pay grants offers for cash back at merchants but the transfer time on the cash back is something like 30 days, which is a long time to wait
    • Google Pay could also integrate with other credit card and bank apps to add stored payment methods from there

    PhonePe
    • Like GPay, you dont have the option for secure login using PIN or password.
    • Sometimes your transaction gets stuck in between for long duration, so that's a technical bug with this app.
    • if you are booking your travel tickets with PhonePe and in case you cancelled it. Then you wont get any refunds for that.

    • Harbortouch as well as many other "large" companies these days could use improvement in the customer service/technical department.
    • An easy reset button would be nice for the occasion the card reader locks up

    I feel that this system not safe. Google keep charging my credit card but they say they cannot trace the payment because there is no transaction record! I cannot stop the payment.

    I have had no direct experience with the Customer Support team for google pay. I never faced any issues or problems. I heard from other friends and colleagues that the customer service is great. This method of payment is now more and more being used as it is more secure and also at the same time fast and easy.

    GooglePay appears similar but the seller charges no commission. On the downside, there is also no payment protection. So if a transaction goes wrong and it is paid directly from a bank account or via a debit card then you have no buyer protection. This is a significant risk when using GooglePay. PayPal has its own buyer protection.

    We currently use Harbortouch and TouchBistro at our restaurant. We were going to switch to just using TouchBistro because Harbortouch's customer support and technical team were having trouble believing we were having ongoing issues with our system. Unfortunately, it took us telling Harbortouch that we were leaving them for them to get to the root of the system's problems. Finally, they worked three days straight to fix all of the issues. We decided to keep both systems for now as Harbortouch has a much more robust system. Still, each uses different credit card processing companies, so hopefully, we can avoid downtime during our three-month, hectic tourist season. Now that Harbortouch fixed all of the issues, their system is much more robust and powerful.

    • You can even buy gold and invest in mutual funds via same app.
    • There are lots of fake accounts on PhonePe so the company should allow legitimate account users only.
