Coupled with the fairly easy to use system and setup, I believe Helcim is one of the best, definitley the best for the price point, which I was just informed has been removed.
I do not work with the system on a regular basis, so my own experience has been the lack of any problems or negative feedback from the people that do use it.
I required support during a few steps of setup and was always responded to quickly and with great detail to help with any challenges.
Even walking our client through each step, they'd still often make a mistake and have to start over because they'd hit the wrong button.
The application and approval process was quick and easy, had approval with 24 hours.
After taking all my information (my SIN number and all) they declined my application without referring the cause. We have a legitimate business with proper documentation.
Thank have recommended Helcim to other business owners because their service is exceptional- from the software, to support team to pricing- they cannot be beat.
Can't really think of anything that I don't like.
I love Fivestars because it's SO easy to use. All of my favorite places have fivestars at checkout and it's so easy to enter your phone number linked to your account.
Somewhat pricey for a small business. Some customers complain about losing reward points due to lack of notifications.
It gives us great and immediate access to our best and most loyal customers. The automated system does a great job of creating return business.
The app is little confused and sometimes in my device lagged.
I like the fact that SumUp makes it easy for small business to accept card payments and also allows for the creation of a basic website which is perfect for small craft businesses like mind.
Sometimes it can be difficult to reach customer support and the chatbot is useless.
I enjoy this app the service is amazing and I complete trust this app it has been a big help.
One thing I do dislike about this app is that I am not able to link a new business. When I sign into another device it does not transfer my coupons over to my new account.
Michael: Hi, this is Michael I'm president of a tour company, I give FiveStars four stars. For more reviews like this click down below. Before I found FiveStars I was using Square, Square Payments, as my onsite payment processor, and it worked okay, I thought it was a little bit limited in its functionality, but the one thing I didn't like about it is you it didn't have a rewards or a promotional aspect to it. I chose FiveStars basically because I saw the great opportunity in marketing directly to my customers, gathering phone numbers, and setting up a reward/marketing promotion program with FiveStars that I couldn't ease with my previous application. It was real easy to onboard FiveStars, the websites really good, the apps really intuitive, and they also have really good support available on the website, so I really didn't have any problem onboarding. I think it'd be easy for anybody. I would recommend anybody considering FiveStars to go ahead and give it a try, it's risk free, and it's just really an invaluable tool as far as gaining customer phone numbers and emails, and it's a great marketing tool for a small business, basically.
