Evo’s Epay Gateway disappoints!

The prime reason why I went for Evo Canada’s EPay Gateway was because our enterprise is a mid-sized one and deals with a fairly large number of customers. Of course by virtue of being in the retail industry we were taken in by add on’s such as the electronic billing facility, a fraud management utility, and the shopping cart solution.

Once the sales representatives introduced us to the technical staff it was smooth sailing. We signed a contract with reasonable terms and they promised us prompt customer support in case of an emergency. In fact they assured us that we wouldn’t have to get in touch with any third party for technical support.

We were also assured that the monthly charges for the service are much lower than what the other providers are charging.

Initial installation and the first few months of service were fine. Trouble began brewing when one of our customers lodged a formal complaint alleging debit card processing fraud. One of our outlets was the prime target. We instantly got in touch with the customer care department. It turned out that we were actually dealing with a third party! And on top of that we did not get any real support. We lost a customer, couldn’t help him and got a bad name!
