Great value for its transaction rates. But don't expect "always up" from them, because they do have issues sometimes

Overall Satisfaction with Fiserv (First Data) - ICICI Merchant Services

We created a online store web application for our client, which needed to integrate with an online credit card processing payment gateway. We chose First Data (Fiserv) for this.
  • Provided our client with competitive rates
  • Integration came with a sandbox environment, which was convenient
  • Backend has a summary of all transactions and a report that can be exported
  • Credit card gateway for OTP was faulty, and failed a large amount of transactions until they fixed the bug.
  • The implementation documentation was not so complete, and did not show the existance of a payment webhook notification option (which they actually have)
  • No live chat or immediate technical support agent during off hours. This could be problematic sometimes when things are urgent.
  • Robustness, SLA, uptime guarantee
  • Tranactions need to go through, for various types of credit cards, including 3d secure (OTP) types
  • When initially launched, they have a huge bug where a lot of our transactions were rejected. They claimed it was our problem, but at least it was their bug.
  • Response from them were not so fast, for the nature of this business it is important for us.
  • They have become more stable after almost 2 years of implementation now.
First Data is competive on its rate. Quality is acceptable, but not good compared to its competitors mentioned above.
