May 24, 2022 5.0 The fact that students on my platform can buy courses and book meetings just by clicking a button on my platform did improve sales volume on our platform. Pros I loved the fact that I could receive payments from my customers directly from my websites or send them payment links to purchase items from me. I embedded Paystack's customizable checkout on my website. This made payment easy to do on my website. I could also own an online ecommerce store without spending money building an ecommerce website from scratch. Cons The fact that only registered businesses are allowed on the platform is a no! no! for me. I think they should allow unregistered businesses use their platform too as this was the case when they first launched the platform.

I wasted this while month trying to get all the documents ready for this paystack company who is somehow recommended by other drop shipping stores and Shopify, who even give you the option the select drop shipping on their application only to send you an email telling you they don't work with drop shipping companies. I intend on using another more user friendly company and telling all my business associates to do the same however I am extremely dissatisfied by the unprofessional service I received from this company especially after accepting my application and documents as part of the application only to change completely afterward. Pros There's nothing to like as they discriminate against smaller companies Cons The way they waste a busy persons valuable time, give false information on their applications and take days to respond to emails Review Source KL Kathryne L.
