Great Loyalty and Gift Card Program

I do like the monthly cost. I do like working with customer service.

PROS

I do like how this software works with out POS System (Logivision). It does make it easy for our cashiers to activate and redeem points. Customers like the feature of saving points for future larger purchases.

CONS

Our customers are having a hard time signing up to be able to redeem points. I have used many programs and this seems to be the worst for customer sign up. We do have an older customer base who have a hard time with emails. Most loyalty programs are phone number based. YOu do have to spend more money to change it to that style which I do think is not good.I also am not a fan of having to pay for text messages.

Unauthorized payments

Horrible

PROS

Whatever is good about this software is buried by the fact that this company has been withdrawing money from my account since closing my terminals in August - and it is currently Feb of the following year. Most recently, they have billed me with an almost $500 bill for a terminal that I returned in September. Oh, I keep getting the runaround - "we'll fix this, we'll refund this" and every month or so, there's another unauthorized fee that I have to spend months chasing, and hours on the phone with placating sales people that assure me I'll be refunded to only be refunded months later and then have another $500 fee taken for a terminal that was returned 5 months ago. This has actually come to a point where I am actually considering closing my back account (and dealing with the enormous headache that that would be) in order to have these criminals stop taking money out of my account. Never, never, never would I recommend this company. They actually even asked me how much $$ it would take for me to remove a previous bad review I gave them. When they didn't like my answer, they withdrew another bogus $485 from my account that I now have to chase.

CONS

Loyalty that your customers would enjoy!

PROS

Paystone's loyalty and gift card program is extremely easy to use. Integrating into our existing point of sale software was painless, and their support team are an actual joy to work with. From the signing of the initial contract to the execution of our first loyalty transaction, Paystone held our hands to ensure that it was a seamless process. With constant updates to the software, new features are always being released, allowing us to stay fresh and relevant with our customer base. Our top 5 features: 1) Real-time security and fraud prevention 2) Branded customer loyalty and gift card portals 3) Customizable merchant dashboard 4) Flexible options for loyalty earn & burn 5) Multi-tiered Loyalty benefits, allowing us to better reward our most loyal customers.

CONS

We would like to see a deeper integration into the POS for inventory items.
