What People are Saying About AllayPay

yellow-staryellow-staryellow-staryellow-staryellow-star

If you’re looking for a transparent merchant processor that provides competitive fees and excellent customer service, AllayPay is the company for you. We joined them in Aug. 2022 after getting fed up with extreme fee structures for CBD-based businesses that had horrible customer service. AllayPay patiently went through a detailed vetting process with us during which time they answered every question…

The AllayPay team has been fantastic! They worked with us from start to finish and customized a payment gateway for our company, Office Furniture Warehouse. It’s been over a year since we’ve been working with them now, and they are by far the most response company we’ve ever worked with. Thank you!

Understanding how important customer service is, and customer reviews, I searched for a local processing service that would treat us like my business was valued… If you are in business and seeking someone who values your business, then you only need to make one phone call to this organization and you will understand what customer service should be. I am very happy I reached out to AllayPay, you will be as well.

AllayPay is by far the best merchant processing company I’ve ever dealt with. Jeff and his team spent days helping me get set up properly and answered all of my questions. They also helped me integrate my processing into QuickBooks Online by automatically updating the invoices as paid. With this new system, I’ve now saved 20 hours each month and over $15K each year. Thank you so much!

My company was in the market for a new credit card possessor and POS system. We reached out to AllayPay on a whim, and that was the best decision we could have made! The entire team at AllayPay has given us top-priority treatment. The level of communication throughout the entire process was top-tier… We can’t recommend AllayPay highly enough!

We were using Square and knew that our options were limited for traditional processing in our industry. Not only did AllayPay save us on processing fees, but they also set us up as fast as possible considering our unique circumstances. AllayPay was highly recommended, and we are very grateful that we choose to go with them. You won’t be disappointed!
