Sample 1-Star Reviews¶
Stripe (1★):
I understand that Stripe is making money off the interest of the from the funds they receive before distributing them to the rightful business. that is business. But, why haven't you corrected your software to reflect in the reconciliation the correct dates. This affects quarterly reporting as well
Linnworks Xero connector SyncTools (1★):
To start, the software does exactly what it says it does, so can not fault that. Unfortunately, they over charged us for 5 months (August to December 2025). Managed to get a refund for 1 month, but been chasing for 4 months to get the refund for the other 4 and just being ignored. Started the charge
Stripe (1★):
I've been waiting now for 2 weeks to the day for one payment and 12 days for another... As a sole trader and this is my only income you've held onto over 600 and i need it... Not impressed and now trying to speak to anyone has been awful as well. To be very honest i will not have a good thing to say
Epos Now (1★):
Misses data, all the time. More time spent resolving issues than is saved! Stopped the integration
Stripe (1★):
Holding our payment for to long
Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series) (1★):
They basically doubled the price a few years back, dropoped my '20% discount for life', and now have almost doubled the price again. We have been with them for 15 years, and started at about $70/month. Now they are up to $409/mth. That's $5000/year - way over the top. After that long and for that mu
Stripe (1★):
Had a payment but had to wait over 4 days for the funds to reach my account. Customer had funds taken straight away so Stripe keeps it for a few days.
Stripe (1★):
Why do they charge a fee on transactions and then take an eternity to pay your money into your account? My customer paid the invoice last Thursday and it is now Wednesday the following week and our bank have not received the funds? I will be discontinuing this service. Shame on Xero to align themsel
Deputy (1★):
cancelled my subscription after 2 hrs says disconnected before i even connected to deputy and there is no option to integrate
Stripe (1★):
Can’t ever log in on existing accounts, don't have a clue where the money paid from customers has gone ? Waste of my life.
