What do you like best about SpotOn?

The thing I like most about Spot On and the platform is the ability to connect with someone if there are questions and concerns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpotOn?

One thing that I did not like about Spot On is the actual hardware that I received at first, but that was because I didn't understand it. I'm looking to upgrade sometime soon and when I do, my business will be unstoppable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about SpotOn?

I love how easy it is to reconcile my fees, batch amount, and deposits. Super simple interface, and I don't feel like I am pulling my hair out to get the information I am looking for. I love the reoccurring payment option on their website too. So easy to set up payments for customers, along with manually running a card if we need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpotOn?

The terminal. I received 2 handheld terminals and then asked for a hard-wired terminal. Any glitches in the internet connection and the wired one would go down. Also, it took forever to process the payment, sometimes timing out multiple times before it would go through. Troubleshooting techs just blamed the internet. However, the handhelds always worked without issue. The issue with handheld devices is if they die, they do not batch out. They don't last more than a day without needing to be charged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Accepting credit cards for our customers. Also, having the ability to see what fees I am being charged and other reports we use daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gracie DeRosa of SpotOn

Thank you for your feedback, Heather. We're happy to hear about your experience with our software & that you love our reporting feature. Your feedback on the terminals is helpful, and we've passed this along to internal teams; we are constantly evolving our tech and its capabilities to support businesses better. We look forward to continuing to help you grow your business.

Loyalty program difficulty. Campaigns should have examples to go by . It's difficult to do without guides to give you an example of the products your trying to utilize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpotOn?

The functionality is impeccable and they are super receptive to ideas. As they grow and get more merchants, they are improving their offerings and making their products even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpotOn?

There can be a learning curve when learning the backend functionality. This is especially true when you are transferring POS systems. The logic and simplicity of the system makes it remarkably easy to use but it can also lead to second guesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Transparent functionality that was not over promised to me. The hardware is top notch and as a company, they play nicely with third party software and hardware providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gracie DeRosa of SpotOn

Thank you for your kind words, Robby. We’re proud to help support you and your business.

What do you like best about SpotOn?

I love how easy to use the platform is. I have the Bluetooth card reader that I have rarely had any issues with, and it works great. I am on the go a lot so this card reader does a great job at keeping up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpotOn?

The interface on the app, as far as tracking sales, can be a little confusing at first. It's not the easiest to navigate when first starting. Once you get the hang of it, though, you learn how to find things more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving the ability to take in-person payments for my patients. There are so many other options to choose from regarding payment processing, but the customer service with SpotOn has been outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SpotOn?

The analytics are great, and detailed. Easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpotOn?

Refunding is such a massive hassle that it almost makes the entire system not worth it. Waiting on hold forever to get an agent, and then the multiple days for the refund to go through. I understand it's a safety/security feature but from a practical point of view, its beyond awful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are not currently solving any business problems with Spoton. It helps us track our sales and sales patterns which allows us to be more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
