Consultant Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Payment Gateway with PayPal " April 29, 2023 5.0 Using flutterwave for over 3years now has been good so far. Pros My company uses Flutterwave to create payment links for customers so as to enable them pay however they want. I personally like the fact that they integrated Paypal because most of our foreign clients prefer it. At a point, they stopped offering the PayPal payment option to all vendors and limited it to just registered businesses. As a result, we were forced to register our business with CAC and become a legal entity. Thanks to flutterwave and their seamless payment options. Cons Apart from delayed response from customer service at times, I think they should also consider reducing the number of days for dollar payouts.

Founder/CEO/Content creator E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "RAVE by FLUTTERWAVE; WORTH IT OR NOT" May 7, 2022 5.0 Now I can receive payments from my customers directly from their cards. This makes transactions on my website seamless and I’ve seen an increase in sales as a result of integrating RAVE into my platform. Prior to RAVE, integrating payment gateways into my platform used to be a challenge because the giant payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal don’t allow users from certain regions which my country is a part of. Pros It allows one to receive payments online from customers' cards directly on their websites even though the business is yet unregistered. Prior to RAVE, I was using PayStack, which was great until they dropped support for businesses who weren’t registered with the government at the time. I had to switch to RAVE so that by business could continue while I underwent registration. Since then, I haven’t looked back. Cons While I believe RAVE is a great product, I think they could improve with respect to direct integration with other common and mostly used platforms without needing integration softwares like zapier for instance. For example, even though I integrated RAVE into my LMS with the use of Zapier, its difficult to run affiliate marketing on my platform directly because RAVE isn’t the default LMS payment gateway. Much could be done on this.
