Top payment provider with customer success at the core
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Checkout.com is my payment gateway overall and acquirer in UAE and SG.
We sell only online.
We use Checkout.com for online sales of Hotels and Flights and for offline bookings via phone using pay per link. We are actively using the dashboard for reporting, analytics and using as well the dispute management module.
Pros
- Reliability of the platform
- Account management: bi-weekly calls and follow up by email or slack, good understanding of our needs and high engagement
- Technical account manager: as above, high engagement with us and sharing Checkout.com technical roadmap
- Performance: with the recent enhancement in intelligent acceptance,
- Mix of own and third party acquiring: this is much appreciated for a merchant like us to be able to process locally via third party acquiring when Checkout.com does not have its own
Cons
- Commercials: some competitors provide better fees, especially for cross border transactions
- Support team: the speed to get an answer can be improved
- We would like more options when it comes to settlement currencies
Likelihood to Recommend
If one is looking for a reliable and performing payment gateway I definitely recommend Checkout.com. Especially if the company is selling in many markets and wants to have a mix of local and cross border acquiring.
If cost is the only metric (although it should not be), some alternative providers do better.
