In my opinion the absolute best part of Helcim is their customer service. Whenever I hit a bump in the road, I just called customer service and an agent was able to walk me through it.

The agent was helpful and professional making sure I had the I needed and offering to talk me through how to make the changes myself if I needed to in the future.

I do not work with the system on a regular basis,  so my own experience has been the lack of any problems or negative feedback from the people that do use it.

Customer services was excellent. SENSITIVE CONTENT] was very helpful and definitely helped me solve the problem.

Thank have recommended Helcim to other business owners because their service is exceptional- from the software, to support team to pricing- they cannot be beat.

Can't really think of anything that I don't like.

My overall experience using the software is amazing. Even when I get stuck in issues, a quick call to customer support and getting in touch with a representative can help alleviate many troubles.

I am pleased with the ease of use and helpful staff.

I was able to use Helcim easily. When I needed help, customer support was very helpful and professional.

Coupled with the fairly easy to use system and setup, I believe Helcim is one of the best, definitley the best for the price point, which I was just informed has been removed.

The software is an integral part of my business and is reliable, well thought out and has an easy to understand interface for myself and for my customer when they are paying.

Anytime I have had occasion to speak with support, they have always been most helpful.

I've use a couple different ones, and they're rather clunky and tricky for our clients to use.

Sales are increased with having Debit/Credit so easily available. When you phone you always get a live, breathing body.

Fairly easy to set up and use, although if I didnt have experience setting up pos systems it might have been slightly more challenging.

Even walking our client through each step, they'd still often make a mistake and have to start over because they'd hit the wrong button.

Easy to use,  Transparent fees,  Great support, Cut the cost buy 60% from the last processor.

In summary I would say that I am very satisfied with the Paypal service for purchases, payment, especially immediate worldwide. Its clear and noble interface makes the operations pleasant.

I don't like the dispute process for disputing charges for orders not received. I have had many times when i did not receive product or received not of quality product and was unable to get a refund.

What I liked most about this software was definitely the customer service. They were excellent in helping solve my issue and in a timely manner.

Easy to use and acceptable by tons of merchants/sellers. I also appreciate their support, as they have helped me resolves issues promptly.

I love how protective the company is and they are extremely reliable I love them they are just simply amazing.

The two things I hate about PayPal is its account limiting and favoring buyers disputes over sellers. This has promoted so much fraud.

It's super easy use to use. I love all the safety features it has especially protecting my personal information.

I like PayPal you can use it anywhere you can take it anywhere as it's easy access my experience with PayPal has been wonderful.

Additionally, I love the ease of transferring money PayPal provides. It's so simple to use, effective, and secure.

It sucks, too many issues, too poor customer service, not enough accountability with the partnered apps and businesses such as eBay.

I love Paypal because it is so easy to use and super compatible with anyone regardless of where they live.

I dislike that I've been charged a fee when others have sent money to me. When sending a small amount, it stinks to have a fee on that.

I am a big fan of paypal and the fact it gained trust within all major merchants. Would be good if it worked with amazon too.

My overall experience with PayPal is amazing I love them I would rate them an 11 if I could.

Also the great security they provided to ensure safety of our money is excellent. I realy love to use PayPal as my online payment method and highly recommend to anyone without any second thought.

Absolutely love how secure using PayPal through websites and even at the gas station. Super user friendly and will always recommend it.

I like how easily PayPal integrates with all my other business tools, I like its clear and easy to read home page, and I appreciate the tutorials and FAQ.

I like the ease of use, by connecting money between accounts in a reliable secure manner.

My only complaint is the customer service aspect. It's done through an email template so there is a delay in getting answers which is frustrating.

They can freeze your money at any time and you are stuck for months trying to appeal and have them release YOUR MONEY. This can kill your business.

I am so happy my company trusted me enough to acquire this software, it was the best purchase, hands down.

Thanks to PayPal I can receive payments in an easy and secure way, and also I can make payments in the same easy and secure way. And it was very easy to integrate in my web page.

I have to commend the Paypal's customer service they are reachable and easy to communicate. Also what I like about it is they have a mobile application that is very easy to use.

I use PayPal for business, as a payment processor, and personal, for transactions and sending money. Their security is outstanding and the ease of use is very good.

Its interface is excellent and striking. They have many methods to communicate with support, that is a great advantage.

PayPal is easy to navigate even for those who are not good with technology. We most love how secure it is and it gives our staff and customers an ease of mind when sending and receiving money.

But more seriously, I have worries about the safety of my info. Nothing that has been realized, just worries.

Paypal is great as a choice to use for any business. I haven't had any issues with it and I loved it because it integrates with most platforms.
