5.0

Karissa: Hi, I'm Karissa. I am the owner of my company and I give CommentSold a five out of five review, for more reviews like this click below. Before I used CommentSold, I had used Shopify for my online store and I just was not really getting the traffic that I needed to continue. So I went from there to Squarespace and Squarespace was not really helping either. So I decided to transition to CommentSold, which has a great connection to Facebook and allowing you to do lives through Facebook to help your online store grow. I chose CommentSold for multiple reasons. One of them a friend had recommended the product or the software for me, and I really trusted her opinion. I also chose CommentSold because of the direct connection with Facebook and Instagram, making it super easy to run my business and CommentSold is a very easy platform to work on. The people are very helpful in helping you figure out what you need to do with the platform. And overall, it has just been a really great experience. For the most part getting started with CommentSold was super easy. They have the plan to get you started laid out. There were a few hiccups on my end, but nothing that the support team could not help me with. So I was very pleased with getting started and getting the ball rolling and the help that I received. I definitely recommend CommentSold if you have an online retail business, because CommentSold is really going to help you take your business a step further and integrating it into social media platforms. That's where your customers are. So that's where you want to be having your online business and CommentSold is perfect for that.

Editorial Director
5.0

Felicia T.: Hi, my name is Felicia, and I'm an editorial director at a pretty small company, and I give Venmo a five. So before we started using Venmo, we were cobbling together different solutions in terms of both sending and receiving payments. There is a little old school ... you can still write and receive checks. But there was just some things about the speed and the ease and the delivery that made some of our solutions that we were using prior to Venmo pretty challenging. So some of the reasons we chose to use Venmo include the speed, the ease, the user interface; pretty easy to utilize and to also choose who you are sending and receiving from. You can even send requests for payment through Venmo, which is a feature I really like a lot, and it's pretty easy to see the reports of different transactions. So I found Venmo pretty easy to get started with: low barrier to entry, onboarding was pretty simple. They make it really user-friendly in terms of just figuring out how to choose, how to find people, how to make payments, how to receive payments. There's a little bit of clicking around, which is going to be the case with any kind of new software. But I love the graphics interface. I love the user experience. I've found it pretty easy to onboard both for myself and for other people who are using the app. All right, so here's some advice. If you know that you want to send payments to specific vendors, specific people, specific organizations that you're working with, make sure you know what their name is on Venmo, or what their login or their phone number or whatever it is that you are using to connect with them. So really clearly have that information, because sometimes people's names can sound really similar. And you want to make sure that you're either sending payments to the right person or requesting payments from the right person. So I would say that's the biggest piece of advice: be really clear on the usernames, on that interface, because sometimes names can sound really similar, and you don't want to have to clean up any messes later.
