We have mixed feelings about E-Commerce Exchanges’ customer service. We tried using their email submission service and did not receive a reply. However, when we called the toll-free number a customer service representative answered on the first ring and he was able to answer all of our questions.
We later found there was a glitch in the email submission process, that the company promptly fixed, after the problem was brought to their attention. Our questions were later answered in a lengthy and informative email.
E Commerce Exchange offers a merchant account, a virtual terminal and a payment gateway through Authorize.net services.
E Commerce Exchange offers more than a dozen different models of point-of-sale terminals. They also offer a small selection of check scanners.
E-Commerce Exchange has the tools and ability to take care of all your credit card needs. However, their slightly higher transaction fees and discount rates make this service a little more expensive than the top services. And if you need to contact customer support, we suggest calling.
