What users say about authorize.net's value for money

“My clients couldn't even ask for a refund. All they could do was dispute the charges that were on hold and if they did that it would hurt my account and my credit.”
“One of its best features is how well it integrates with other systems. It's been an industry standard for years and is a safe bet when your payment processor needs to play nice with other programs.”

What users say about Venmo's value for money

“It is still hard to find our business even with the exact handle and there is no way to retract a payment if sent to wrong person. That's a little nerve racking if a client gets our @name wrong.”
“I understand from security reasons, but it is annoying. Apparently it is possible now, but has been a pain to figure out.”
