XPAY vs. Zoho Flow

Xpay is perfect for a centralized location for all payments coming in. It also handles the security and ease to be incorporated by our IT team into the online portal. A vast array of different payment methods ensure all possible options are covered. You can then track what has been paid and now and send reminders.

For small—to medium-sized connections between different applications, Zoho Flow is quick and easy to set up and test. However, as a Flow becomes more complicated with multiple connections and decisions, it becomes more difficult to track errors and faults and manage changes. Some of this is due to the history not being detailed enough, and some is just the UI, where you can't zoom in and out and clearly see connecting lines for flows.

Incentivized

• could be more incorporable into accountancy software
• easier OFX exportation

• Some history is missing, and not all error reporting is comprehensive enough on more complex functions.
• The ability to run tests on custom functions exists in other apps like CRM.
• Ability to create custom connections for OAuth like in the CRM application.

Flow can accomplish almost anything you want to do. It's imperfect, but it could be with just a few more features and better error management/visibility. For someone who's not a developer, this is a no-brainer. Having used other products in the past, like Zapier, this is as easy to use, if not even easier.

I've reached out to the support team several times with assistance requests in Zoho Flow. Each time the team has answered my questions promptly and accurately. And because we are mainly integrating other Zoho apps their teams are perfectly positioned to solve our problems.

Xpay could do with some more personalization features but is more cost effective. For example ability to add photos or videos to requests. Payment can be taken via ascend but accepts less payment types and is not as secure hence the replacement with Xpay. Xpay is a simplified version and easy to use and scale.

I've used Zapier and both programs are similar. Zapier has deeper integrations or more apps to integrate with but considering Flow's association with other Zoho apps this does it for us!

Incentivized

• Saves a tone of time
• Extra cost could be cheaper
• Possibly cuts time for payments as people can pay however they like

Incentivized

• Quick and Easy to set up without the need for a Developer.
• Visibility into the history of flows and the ability to rerun is a big time saver.
