Friday, July 27th, 2018

You have your WorldPay account setup and are successfully processing your customer’s payments. However, you have run into a few issues and need some help. The following are some of the most frequently asked questions processing provider are asked, along with Worldpay contact information. Find the answers you need, so you can save valuable time and move on to the next item on your business to-do list.

Top Merchant Account Complaints

With so many business types with their own unique needs, it is not a surprise that some merchants will be unsatisfied with their merchant account and/or payment processing services. So, how do you know which complaints are serious red flags, and which ones can easily be cleared up? The following are the top 4 complaints you will hear about merchant account providers.

1.      Difficulty cancelling services – Some processors do not charge early termination fees, but others do. To avoid complications (like still being charged for services after switching providers), make sure your merchant contracts are cancelled in writing.

2.      Poor/expensive leasing agreements – Another complaint is that agreements for leasing terminals are too expensive. You should know ahead of time that some leasing agreements are noncancellable even if you close your account. Make sure you inquire after the details.

3.      Deceiving sales representatives – Before partnering with a provider, make sure you do your research on their experience and support. Worldpay, for example, has 30 years of experience with 24/7 support.

4.      Overwhelming fees – This complaint often stems from unclear information and poor customer service. Again, the easiest way to avoid this is to work with a provider that is known for providing industry-leading services and support, preferably with many years of experience.
