CEO Consumer Goods ### "Rave by Flutterwave for payments to African e commerce shops" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 20, 2023 I am certainly solving the problem of receiving payments for goods in Africa by using Rave/Flutterwave. Pros Paypal/Payoneer and some of the other big names do not allow e-commerce stores to get payments. Flutterwave does. Cons It did take a long time and was quite cumbersome to set up but after the initial frustration, it worked well. Reasons for choosing Flutterwave It serves my needs as an e-commerce store operating in Africa. I highly recommend everyone with the same problem investigate and use Rave/Flutterwave.

Consultant Architecture & Planning ### "Best Payment Gateway with PayPal " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 29, 2023 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.
