What do you like best about PayWhirl?

I have found that PayWhirl makes it a lot easier for me to manage my subscriptions. I have found the platform to be extremely versatile as it enables me to work with the various subscriptions required by different clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PayWhirl?

By using PayWhirl, I get my subscription management sorted out from the scratch. I no longer have to compose these invoices as well as utter words of reminders as the debt is overdue. The Automated Billing keeps this operation smooth and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayWhirl?

PayWhirl is not what my inventory management system integrates with. This means I will relied only on just manually updating stock levels whenever some subscription for renewal comes to hand. It is little more trouble and I might sell out if I am not proper on the cap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PayWhirl has clothed my subscription process with a sheet of water and diminished significantly the time I spend on the committees of the administrative duties. Automated billing provides a stable cash flow, and the system is easy to use for my clients and I. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PayWhirl?

Nothing. Way too many issues for being two weeks in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayWhirl?

I had to get a support rep to help since the directions on the site for set up are outdated (as per the rep), but I assumed it was set up correctly after having their help. Wrong.

Unfortunately with each payment (of a four payment plan), it places a new order and charges us for the on-demand product cost. Now I have to cancel all orders, refund everyone and figure out how I'm going to get these customers back.

And of course, support takes way too long to respond, already a few hours in with no resolution to the second issue within two weeks of using the app. They told me to refund on Shopify, I do so and it says "request declined."

I'm assuming what they didn't tell me was that I needed to cancel the subscription first so I did it in reverse and hope it works. Not sure until I see us the biz refunded for multiple orders.

If the website support is outdated (and wrong), two reps don't know what they're doing ,and support takes way too long), how can you trust this app? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not, total and epic fail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PayWhirl?

We switched from Bold to Paywhirl a few months ago, to change the structure of a subscription service from a perks-based membership to a product-based subscription. The customers are really enjoying the interface a lot more than they were with Bold, which was clunky and limited.

When we run into issues, Paywhirl is quick to respond and help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayWhirl?

As of April 2022, it's impossible to quickly see how many of each type of item are expected to be purchased through subscription plans, without going deep into Shopify's reports. It would be great for the dashboard to display estimates on how many products I need for future months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Paywhirl is helping us create a 'floor' of steady, fairly predictable income through several different product subscriptions. This is a good complement to the bursts of sales we get during product drops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PayWhirl?

Paywhirl is very intutive. They make it so easy to attach a digital download to your subscription and have it easily accessible for customers. They are very helpful any time I ask them questions on their chat. Before using Paywhirl, we made our own system to track our digital subscriptions and it was complicated and did not work very well. Paywhirl has made tracking our business easy and it is worth every cent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PayWhirl?

Paywhirl is a little pricey. We did get the half off because we started paying early enough. However, there are a few other things I dislike as well. I wish that on the active subscriptions page, there was a button to export active subscriptions and the promo code they used when they signed up. Other than that, it is simple and I like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sending out digital subscriptions, managing subscriptions, seeing who has cancelled, making reports, and more. It has made our life so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
