My experience with Stax Payments

My experience with Stax has been one of excellence and professionalism. I had the pleasure of working with Amanda, who walked me through the whole process, from introduction, to application. Amanda has been dutifully responsive, timely answering questions, calls and emails; her work should be a benchmark through which payment processing firms are measured.

Fairly good, the pricing model could be better

The subscription-ish pricing model is a bit annoying- the -ish- being that the subscription scales up in price to around .5% of your transaction volume; which, a flat .5% fee for the transaction volume you do on the platform would be more transparent/mean we don't overpay if our transaction volumes are not at a consistent level, but alas.

The platform was easy for us to integrate with via the API, and the UI for creating and sending invoices is pretty straight forward.

They claimed to have support for Canadian bank transfers, but we have yet to test this functionality, and haven't seen any evidence of this payment method being available to us.

our client representative Nick has been helpful in our onboarding process, and has been responsive with our questions.

never apply for a loan with them
they will always lie and they will never reply to you. Your credit score will be affected because they do two or three hard checks without accepting your application

They lied about integrating with QuickBooks Online

They lied about integrating with QuickBooks online in the sales process - turns out their integration is completely broken and has been for years.

Once I was a paying customer, my account rep basically "disappeared". Support was slow to respond and felt standoff-ish.

I used them for 3 months and promptly switched to another payment processing vendor that has been great to work with: eBizCharge.

Our experience with Stax Payments has been exceptional, largely thanks to the professionalism and personalized support from Christina Machado. From the very beginning, Christina took the time to understand our business needs and provided us with clear, efficient, and transparent solutions.

She helped us optimize our payment system with competitive rates, no hidden fees, and customer support that truly stands out. She was always available to answer our questions and ensured a smooth and seamless transition.

Thanks to her guidance, we now handle our transactions with greater control and confidence. I highly recommend Christina and the Stax team to any business looking for efficiency, transparency, and excellent customer service.

Nick Kagy is a rock star! He managed a large project (going from 1 location to 10) for me. The additional locations were approved and processing deposit ahead of my original project timeline.

Excellent platform for scaling businesses

We started with one Stax Payments account and have since scaled to six accounts. The Stax team provided us with excellent service during our expansion. They continue to be readily available when we need them. We hope to stick with Stax for many years to come!
