We partnered with Celerant to build a robust all in one integrated system, which included a consignment functionality.

Use the implementation staff, training staff, and support staff.

For such a complex and crucial part of business, it’s good to have a partner like Celerant who can help simplify the process to get our operation as secure as possible.

I thought going in that it would make my life easy but I was proven wrong.

Celerant has been a true technology partner to us and, more importantly, passionately committed to our success.

Promised to meet all our web page and pos needs in a “one stop shop. In person salesmen seemed creative and responsive.

Our business is in worse shape now than before the switch.

The amount of time we have saved using best store fulfillment is immeasurable.

Celerant is a very good POS system that provided a quick and easy way to track sales and inventory when used correctly.

The integration is great as many of our customers shop all of our stores so having access to accurate customer data allows us to better serve our customers.

Metrics suffer from an identity crisis, with different labels scattered across the system, causing confusion between barcode variations, product styles, and inventory classification.

With them still owing me a module for the website and another for a mod I had to prepay for to get the pricing I did, I walked away and took the loss.

I have found everyone from Sales to Implementation to Training to Support to be professional, courteous and very helpful.

Exceptional software that is fully integrated with how our two stores conduct business while helping us maintain a omni channel retail presence.

Celerant provides amazing multi-channel capabilities for less than other companies with similar software. The integration with Amazon and Channel Advisor set Celerant above the rest for us.

Critical issues, such as sales syncing failures resulting in massive financial losses, were met with apathy.

We are very happy with the software and our relationship with Celerant- and would recommend the system to any dealer.

Good software for inventory sales and ordering.

Once I was used to it, I certainly enjoyed the ease of use of the system and the ability to network in our stores from around the country.

Celerant’s Command Retail was one of our most important technology investments.

Like any major investment, do your homework which if you are on this site you likely are already doing.

Sometimes the program would crash when trying to pull reports and wasn't multifunctional while performing transactions.

The service and post install add-ons that you thought were part of the original deal are really frustrating. Not so much in cost as install delays.

The customization of the pos screen is great. Super easy to navigate and change if need be.

Customer support is expensive amd doesn’t get the issues resolved. Mostly band aids assuming it gets fixed.

To be fair, this issue probably only arose due to the items being entered wrong on our end.

We needed a great web platform, a mail order web interface, and a very robust amazon integration.

It is slightly counter-intuitive when learning how to use the system. At times, it can be confusing why certain actions weren't as easy to un-do or go back.

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.
