Ecommerce-Platforms.com: “…it truly is one of the most transparent payment processors.”
Another recent review comes from Ecommerce-Platforms.com, which offers a detailed look at Payment Depot’s offerings. The review kicked off by discussing our pricing and fees and whether or not there are hidden charges (spoiler alert: there are NONE.)
Ecommerce-Platforms then went on to talk about Payment Depot’s best features, and it commended our ease of use and transparency. The site also evaluated our customer support and concluded that Payment Depot is a good option for a wide variety of merchants.
Business.com: “…low rates, single membership fee and quick setup make it an excellent processing option for small businesses.”
Business.com also took a look at Payment Depot, and they weren’t disappointed. The website talks about how easy it is to get set up, and then walks readers through the steps and requirements of obtaining and account.
The review also talks about Payment Depot’s innovative pricing structure, which charges merchants a flat membership fee instead of taking a cut of out their sales.
Here’s a snippet from the article:
Payment Depot doesn’t charge many of the other credit card processing fees common in the industry. The only fee it charges is a membership fee, which can be paid monthly or yearly. The yearly cost works out to be significantly lower than paying the membership fee on a monthly basis. There are no separate PCI-compliance or PCI-non-compliance fees and there is no monthly minimum. PCI-compliance fees and statement costs are included as part of the membership fees.

Capterra review: Came for the low cost, and stayed because of superb customer service
A merchant on Captera gave Payment Depot a 5-star rating, stating that they not only were our fees lower, but customer service has been outstanding.
According to the merchant:
The cost savings initially attracted me to Payment Depot, however, they have been so easy to work with and had superb customer service. They have even helped guide me in switching over to a new POS system. I couldn’t recommend them more!
