Recurly vs. TSYS Payment Gateway

Recurly is great for tracking transactions and reviewing payment method declines. The platform is extremely helpful when dealing with scenarios where someone believes they have been fraudulently charged for the product. Recurly allows for transaction filtering, which is very helpful when trying to find possibly fraudulent charges very easy. If expecting precise, detailed information about a card decline, Recurly would not be very helpful.

None. This is the worst company I have ever worked with. We will never recommend or even think about doing business with them again.

• I really can't think of any shortcomings on Recurly because they have tried to cover all bases well. However, I believe that pricing could be little competitive because Recurly can become quite expensive when you have acquired a good number of subscribers. So apart from price, there are no shortcomings I can think of on product side.

• Stop taking away my ability to use debit cards
• 7% is outrageous. I can't continue at this rate
• In my opinion, the yearly fee is an obvious profit grab. Discontinue it.

I believe we would continue to use Recurly because they have shown that they are continually improving their software, and they listen to their customers

Apart from a lot of scope, which it has for improvement, like analytics, api's, customer service, downtimes. It still provides a lot of value, it is helpful for us in Business crtical areas, managing subscriptions and creating and launching coupons, ease of usability, camparatively lower maintainence are some valid reasons to prefer Recurly.

They have always been quick to respond and help. I love their chat feature at the bottom right-hand corner of the platform.

Recurly does a much better job at handling subscription payments than QuickBooks Online. We only use QuickBooks Online when we have a client who cannot pay via credit/debit card. In those cases, we send out automatic invoices via QuickBooks Online instead. 95% of our clients are processed through Recurly.

Clover and square were up front with all fees. [I think] TSYS will try to sell you their product saying medical credit card processing has to be HIPAA complaint. [I feel] [this] is [not] true. They will say they don't have a minimum processing fee. [I feel] [this] is also not true.

• Providing an interface for our subscribers to manage their own accounts has simplified our business tremendously. This alone has freed up hours of our staff's time each day.
• Many customers receive new credit cards due to expiration or fraud. The time we spent in updating this information prior to using Recurly's Revenue Recovery feature versus now is significant.

• Positive impact on work flow- employees can quickly cross-reference reports to close out the day
• TSYS can be expensive. We are considering alternatives as we continue to improve our practice.
• More than one employee can be logged in at one time allowing for responsibilities to be shared to help with work flow and productivity.
