Very Happy Client

My banker had suggested this comapny and I was going to just get a quote to begin with but they were able to offer al the services I've ever dreamed of having and still be less expensive then the current one terminal system we currently had.

PROS

Fees are the lowest I have ever been charged by a credit card processing company, on boarding and customer service has been amazing, security is one of the best in the world, and the functionality of the system has been spot on and exactly what our office needed. Plus the options for our patients to make recurring payments or create a wallet for future use has been very beneficial.

CONS

It was a bit of a learning curve as far as figuring out what reports to run to balance, and some payments online can be made after hours so the #'s can be different from when I closed the night before (not a bad thing just more work in figuring out) Also because the site is so secure we can had troubles accessing it and have been told it's because the URL has changed.

More flexibility

We have realized flexibility, more modern process with patients.

PROS

We were able to have two stations that batched together. This allows a faster closing at the end of the day. We can move around with in the clinic to take payments and are not tethered to the wall.

CONS

Still need a little improvement on tracking transactions by name.

Reason for choosing Vital POS

We could maintain the relationship with our processor which had better pricing.

Reasons for switching to Vital POS

we needed an all in one batching solution. If we had gone with another base terminal it would have had separate batches.

Food Establishment - BEWARE! NOT THE POS SYSTEM FOR YOU

Should have went with other POS system

PROS

I was excited to get this system based on the features that were on the website and told by the sales rep. The cost for the system was within my budget. I am not happy with this system at all.

CONS

No Gift Cards as promised No Loyalty program as promised Unable to get accurate reports with detail Inventory management is a joke Unable to integrate with ecommerce stores or other apps (grubhub, doordash, etc). Never informed about system updates. When it updates and you go to take a payment , the system crashes and you will be kicked out and will have to log completely back in. You then will need to close batch and set up system again. The scanner never works The list goes on.

Reason for choosing Vital POS

Promises made by the rep and the company.

More than what we need.

The only real benefit are the things listed above. My business runs a practice management software that we also have to enter the payments in, so many of the features on the Vital are redundant or unneeded for us. To be honest, I really liked my old-fashioned POS terminal better since 90% of what we do is hand-entry.

PROS

I like that the terminal is handheld, and smaller. I like that it doesn't use as much paper and gives you the option to email receipts. I like that it has a chip reader, a swipe option, tap option, and hand entry. We use all of those in our business.

CONS

I don't like that the hand-entry option is hard to use with a small number pad. The screen itself is small, making it a little difficult to do hand-entry quickly. In our office, most clients are calling in with a card number, and this slows us down. Also, the battery does not last very long. We are in the red by the end of the day, and we are not overly taxing on the machine. Often, we run only a few cards a day (less than 10). Returns/refunds are a complete nightmare. There is no way to do them on the terminal. It's a slow and tedious process. The reports are hard to use and some of them only offer an export option, no printing.

Reasons for switching to Vital POS

I was forced to switch because our old machine didn't have a chip reader. However, almost all of our card payments come over the phone, so we don't use the chip option often anyway.
