What do you like best about Blackthorn Payments?

Our old event management tools had reached end of life and we needed a new solution to suit our sports industry business. We were already an existing Stripe customer and after an extensive search we decided on Salesforce with Blackthorn Events and Payments which seamlessly connected to our existing account. We could not be happier with our new platform and the support from the Blackthorn team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackthorn Payments?

What do you like best about Blackthorn Payments?

The app met all requirements and was a wild success for our implementation. The tight integration with Stripe makes it even better than we imagined. Everything we need to know about our payment processing is in Salesforce through this app. The implementation support we received from Ashley was world-class. Ashely is technically proficient, well versed in this app and Salesforce, punctual, and well organized. Could not have asked for anything more. Superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackthorn Payments?

We haven't found anything that we dislike yet. It's been an overall positive experience. No complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackthorn Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a payment gateway between Salesforce and our credit card processor (Stripe). Blackthorn provides both the user interface where credit card information is entered, as well as the data integration with our credit card processor to store all the info we need about payments in the Salesforce Opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nadia Breiz of Blackthorn Payments

Thank you, John! We couldn't agree more that Ashley is truly world-class. We'll be sure to pass along the compliment! We appreciate you taking time to share your implementation success. Should any concerns arise, we're here to listen. Thank you for choosing Blackthorn and allowing us the pleasure of caring for you!

What do you like best about Blackthorn Payments?

All of the overhead of building and maintaining a direct integration with Stripe has been completely handled by Blackthorn. The amount of bandwidth this frees up alone can't be understated - the way everything's been made to feel native to Salesforce without ever having to touch Stripe is beyond the extra mile. From their documentation, regular monthly updates, public roadmaps, the quality of support - shout out to Grace and Spencer most recently, you guys were fantastic (thanks!) - I really could go on just about the softer stuff which is something I don't think I've ever said about an ISV.

I'm not sure if I'd know where to even start when it comes to the standard of engineering. As a Salesforce dev currently working solo, I spend a lot of my time scratching my head (putting it mildly) handling all of the legacy declarative and programmatic 'features' we've gathered over the years. Seeing so many design patterns, best practices and generally the feeling of quality and consideration that permeates through the entire package is a breath of fresh air, and is what developing on the Salesforce platform should look like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackthorn Payments?

Dislike is a strong word, but if I had any comment whatsoever it would be that Blackthorn Payments covers integrations with all payment service providers/gateways you could reasonably expect, and Blackthorn's other offerings extend much farther beyond that.

In another world, I'd be curious just how many QOL features or other optional extras, akin to the newer Manage Subscription screen flow off the top of my head, would have the time to be developed if the focus for instance was narrowed to a single payment gateway (Stripe in our case).

I say in another world because, quite frankly, nothing is lacking, and I don't half enjoy seeing all of the work Blackthorn's doing. Selfish desire from me to see more fantastically engineered things that I get to interact with day-to-day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackthorn Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building a Salesforce native integration with Stripe, the right way. I think I've likely gushed enough about Blackthorn, but the time and stress that's bypassed not just for myself as 'the' Salesforce developer for our team, but everyone and everything that interacts with Stripe cannot be understated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nadia Breiz of Blackthorn Payments

Thanks for the kind words, Josh! We always aim to go beyond the extra mile and make things feel native to Salesforce, without anyone having to touch Stripe. And we're glad to hear that our documentation, updates, and support are hitting the mark. Thanks for shouting out Grace and Spencer, we think they're pretty terrific, too! As for wanting even more fantastically engineered things from us, well, we're working on some exciting new things, so please keep checking for updates. We're glad we can take some of the stress off your plate and thank you for choosing Blackthorn Payments!

We currently do not have a way to turn off the CVV or Postal Code validation at the virtual terminal level. However, it is already on the roadmap for the June release! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackthorn Payments solving and how is that benefiting you?
