Nothing. It has been an ongoing comedy of errors to get this implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

They created the MID in wrong country. They didn't provide documentation, then they repeatedly provided incomplete documentation. Then they forgot to switch on Certegy verification.

We only found out about eCheck transaction limits when the customer's payment failed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Worldpay solving and how is that benefiting you?

It should allow us to take eCheck and Credit Card payments, but the implementation process has been EXTREMELY painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

Then you start making payments, and the company waits for you to accumulate a sufficient amount on your balance. After that, your account will be blocked forever and the money will be appropriated in favor of WorldPay. To your requests to return the money to customers, the company will reply with a sneering refusal.

However, after our many complaints, the FCA will look into this office of scammers, called WorldPay by FIS. Justice will prevail even for the best of cheats! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Worldpay?

I believe their pricing is competitive and I actually get money that my business generates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

I have had ongoing an consistent issues that tech support cannot resolve. It's incredibly difficult to get in touch with representatives who can resolve issues and I'm often disconnected which requires hours on the phone to resolve. Recently, I've had a week of consistent payment processing issues which is losing my business money. I was supposed to receive an urgent equipment replacement today that didn't arrive. After hours on the phone with Worldpay, I'm not sure even if the equipment has been ordered or shipped. This isssue is crippling my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Worldpay solving and how is that benefiting you?

They do process payments when equipment works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

Archaic systems, disorganised, unhelpful staff, high level of outages with no compensation for commercial losses.

Corporate support department is the worst. They don't even know who they're managing. Zero communication with other departments.

What do you like best about Worldpay?

I honestly can't say anything about WorldPay that is easy or intuitive or useful or helpful. Franz Kafka would have been impressed by the byzantine bureaucratic despair. Here are some guesses at what could be interpreted as positives if you are one of those people who enjoy reframing things.

Maybe you enjoy listening to insipid hold music. Then WorldPay is the company for you because you will be on hold a LOT waiting for customer service to help you fix the thing that WorldPay has repeatedly broken.

OR maybe you enjoy the excitement of speaking to two different tech support agents who tell you the COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS and leave you to determine which one is right.

OR maybe you want an onboarding process where your liaison puts all the wrong information in and then takes months to rectify their own mistakes.

OR maybe you DON'T want the ability to change your security settings for verifying credit card purchases, thereby allowing thousands of dollars in fraudulent claims to flow freely

OR maybe you appreciate the potential windfall from WorldPay double charging your clients on monthly fees and then making you jump through time-consuming, labor-intensive hoops to undo their mistake

OR maybe you want access to a gift card system that will break down in the middle of your Black Friday sale and then completely botch the fulfillment such that half your customers don't receive the physical OR virtual gift cards

OR maybe you enjoy hearing from your Relationship Manager that all of the problems you've been meticulously documenting were ACTUALLY caused by some other third-party system that has nothing to do with the problem

I could go on and on. I have wasted countless hours navigating WP's various portals and customer service offerings, and with a few notable exceptions, they are universally terrible and their left hand never seems to know what their right hand is doing.

I'm not familiar with any other cc processors. When I started, we used WP for cc and Authorize as the gateway, then WP told us they had their own gateway that would save us money. The moment we made the switch our problems started and have only compounded over time.

I know WorldPay is the leader in credit card processing but do NOT use them if you can avoid it. They have done SO much damage to our company and my job has almost become full-time "deal with WorldPay nonsense." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

Everything. Everything is terrible, starting and ending with customer service. We've had disaster after disaster after disaster since switching from Authorize to WP as our payment gateway. WP looks good on paper, but in practice it performs like a lumbering behemoth riddled with fleas and lice who's learning to juggle.

There are just a lot of things about WorldPay that are broken, but their customer service is the canary in the coal mine. Every time you call, they screen you. That's fine, as we all want security, but aside from the Merchant ID, the other "secure" information is the publicly-available address or phone number. I'm not sure how that's making these calls more secure. After the screening, you will sit on hold anywhere from 15 minutes (a good day) up to 120 minutes (my personal best). You may have to hold longer, as it is a crap shoot whether the person you are speaking to is willing or able to help you. And, yes, I have had customer service agents who were clearly just trying to get me off the phone as soon as possible. A few agents are AMAZING and will bend over backward to help you.

Due to an issue unrelated to WorldPay (one of the few ... sidenote, ask me about our horrible experience with CenterEdge!), we've had to issue multiple refunds for memberships and some of the WorldPay tech support agents will only issue up to 10 refunds when you call and others will issue 5,832 separate refunds because they're just so nice. Then you get the guy who INSISTS that they aren't allowed to issue any refunds at all and you end up arguing with him for 20 minutes because he's trying to gaslight you over what previous agents have done.

A company with terrible tech support/customer service is fine IF you don't need their help that often.

A company with a terrible system is fine IF they have great tech support/customer service to help you.

A company with a terrible system AND terrible tech support/customer service is WorldPay.

Don't do this to yourself. There have to be better options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Worldpay:

Only use WorldPay as a last resort. And even then, you'd be better off going cash only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Worldpay solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems we are having include gift card fulfillment, gift card functionality, duplicate charges, regular crashes, comically bad customer service, weak credit card fraud prevention, repeated onboarding errors that disrupt a smooth transaction, inability to identify IP addresses for fraudulent charges after 30 days, and SO MUCH MORE!

The benefits we have realized is that we now understand what a massive mistake it was to sign a WorldPay contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Worldpay?

The terminal functiond ok other than than very little Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

Unfortunately after 10 years of using them our business closed due to covid, when I called to cancel the terminal I was told I would have to pay the 12 month's subscription since it has just auto renewed, not ones in ten years have they sent us a renewal invite , we just assumed we were long out of contract and stayed on.

They point blank refused to waive it dispite our difficulty. I think this sums up the kind of underhand company you are dealing with should you use them. In all our years of business I don't actually know of another company that sneaks in renewal contracts without any warning or message of any kind telling you it's been renewed again. Shocking attitude to its customer base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Worldpay:

Ensure that you don't fall into another fixed contract if thinking of changing

Be aware there charge back help is very much towards the third party

Personally after our experience of their attitude and activities I would use a more reputable company that are open and upfront Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Worldpay?

It's okay when it works and you don't have to make changes, have issues or need engage with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

The customer service absolutely atrocious. An endless auto attendant effectively keeps telling you to go away, check the help pages and reminds you that they are open 24 hours. That's if you can find the phone number. If you have a general query that doesn't relate to an account, they will just hang up on you. I guess that they don't get stats for it. What takes a phone call when dealing with GlobalPay, takes a ticket being logged with a promise of a follow up call at a date and time to later be specified. I have engaged with our accounts department to move away from them before we have an actual payments issue that required support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Worldpay solving and how is that benefiting you?

Taking customer card payments over the phone and website. The benefits were realised when we moved to GlobalPay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simple options to choose from, there is no confusion in selection. Clients use the software easily. The seamless integration is also a must-have! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Worldpay?

Not the most eye-catching website, but then again, it's financing, and you just need to know what you need to know. And that is easy enough to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Worldpay solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a great system to double-check daily totals. It has a next-day view, which many of these financial sites do not provide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
