Was a bit worried about the payment process, bit all good. The website just looks strange somehow. Nothing to worry about.

For the crazy amount of money they charge, Worldpay's customer service is the worst. It seems like they are in the Stone Age when it comes to technology. My nonprofit changed bank accounts so we had to contact a lot of different vendors and all went smooth until we contacted Worldpay. It took five phone calls and two emails and the issue is still not resolved. Do not feed this beast.

Terrible services. Billed my for months without knowing. No services were used and they did not ever contact me in any way due to my account being what I thought was closed. 10 months of fees and annual fees only to be told they were not in the wrong. They had my contact and email info incorrect as to why I never heard from them. Save yourself the frustration and loss of your hard earned money and shop elsewhere! Zero Star

Worldpay have handled all our customers' credit card transactions for several years. In November they added more government checks and I duly sent off my drivers' licence to confirm my details. Then they mistakenly closed my account claiming I hadn't sent the information. After repeated calls and emails they eventually acknowledged they had received my drivers' licence and that they have the information they need. But they still haven't re-opened my business account and they seem to operate at a snail's pace. They don't answer emails. They don't take action. Meanwhile my business has lost 3 weeks of customer subscription payments, with no resolution in sight despite constantly chasing Worldpay. Be warned - if anything goes wrong, Worldpay simply don't respond. I deeply regret ever choosing them. AVOID.

I use this system once a week and my monthly bill in fees is $120-$200 a month. Customer service is also trash and will transfer you several times and leave you on hold for 40+ mins in hopes that you will lose the will to live and continue paying for overpriced mediocrity. I do not trust companies like this and refuse to give my money to people like this. Do not waste your time LOOK ELSEWHERE!

I've been with Worldpay for 8 years. I've spent hours on the phone over the past 3 weeks. They don't answer emails. They have taken money for the past 3 weeks and have not forwarded it, and today terminated my card payment machine. I have been repeatedly asked for the same information and yet each time I've phoned they claim not to have received it. The matter is now with the Due Diligence Team meanwhile my business has no means of collecting card payments. Utter disgrace, avoid at all costs

Worldpay is the worst card payment service company I have ever worked with. There is no Customer Service, since if you stay in line for more than 30 minutes due to waiting, eventually someone who knows nothing at all will answer and simply transfer your issue to some authorities who in turn never answer you. I just wanted to replace the email my customer was seeing on billing and this funny thing took 25 days. Finally, when their system went live they decided to hold my payments and review my company for no reason. I advise everyone not to do business with this ridiculous company

If you want to cancel and don't tell them 30 days ahead, they are going to hit you for $495 which is gluttonous greed after all the money they make off you while you are processing. I paid thousands upon thousands of dollars in fees for years and when I ask to close it because I wanted tap pay they had me on the phone for over a hour on hold, etc all while I'm trying to help customers at my business.
Stay away! The support is slow and you'll get passed around and be on hold forever if you ever need anything.

We closed our account in April 2023. Worldpay sent a docusign. It asked us to list all MID to close, assuming we had any idea what that means. It didn't say "accounts to close" anywhere. We put our account number on the docusign. Apparently, we had two accounts, one for brick and mortar and one for our website. They continued charging our brick-and-mortar account for 4 months with providing no service as we had already changed to another merchant service company. Over $900! I think they have HORRIBLE customer service. I have attached one of the THREE invoices they were happy to charge my account for even though there is no processing activity in the summary. If this problem, happened with my bank or any other merchant service company that I have used (as I've been in business for 42 years) they would have refunded the charges that they took from my account without providing any service! I would NEVER recommend using Worldpay!

After being a Worldpay customer for 8 years. I wanted to close my account in 2023 February. The last time I signed an 18-monthly contract with them was in 2019 so 4 years ago and they still believe they have the right to charge me an early determination fee of £152+vat. Honestly what a joke this company is. Such bad customer service I'm so sorry

Don't use this company. They charge an annual fee of $199.00. I canceled my plan and they still charged me $199.00- even though I only had 2 months in in the year. I called to have it pro rated for just the 2 months and they said no. It's not based on months as a client- it's based on even 1 day as a client. This is absolutely ridiculous! All of their rates are too high.

Their system is confusing for eg they mix up customer numbers, merchant numbers and customer ID. Getting through to a person is usually reasonably quick but their staff in the main don't have product knowledge and think that a wait of 5 minutes is acceptable. They also thnk being passed from department to department withlong waits is acceptable. Worldpay deserves the poor ratings it seems to get.

This company actively take part in thefts from customers, I had a merchant account with WorldPay who took my customers money, never released it to me & never refunded it to the card holders. They caused me a massive amount of embarrassment and to this day have not released the money. My customers are going throuth the chargeback channel but WorldPay are fighting to keep the money. Absolute thieves!

Any credit card processing company would be better than this one. Our company used Worldpay for over 15 years and then we sold our company. We did not process one credit card for five months and still paid their monthly fee. When we called to cancel their service, they said we owed them over $400.00 for a contract cancel fee. When I asked if they made any exceptions to this policy, I did not get a straight answer. My attorney is looking into it with the Ohio Attorney Generals Office. Our company did over 30 million dollars of business a year so you can imagine how much we paid them over the years.

Spent over an hour on the phone trying to set up a merchant account for worldpay direct and not a single person I talked to what able to assist me. I was given the runaround and told to call multiple departments. My six figure a year business will have to go with another payment processor.

Beware of this company. The fees are terrible, there is no customer service to help you and there is no where to call should you have a problem. If you have a complaint, you will be told that their "complaint dept will reach out to you". This will never happened. This company took money from us after the account was closed.

Tip for consumers:
Awful experience. Awful customer service.

Transitioned to world pay on smooth process promises …2 month later we still can't process health saving cards for our clients and we lost thousands on dollars in lost transactions. They don't even return your calls. You will have to chase them and no one can find a solution for your problem

I sell and install Solar Panels, I am approved for the card machine and receive it on Thursday 26th Jan 2023. My first customer wants to pay £13,000 deposit by credit card over the weekend. I call Worldpay on Friday 27th Jan explaining my first payment will be £13,000, do I need it to be pre-approved I ask,no,everything is fine they say, take the payment and it will be in your bank Mon/Tues,so I take the payment.
Get a call on Monday from Worldpay,saying my business model is outside of their risk appetite and they will be holding onto the £13,000 for 120 days.
It wasn't outside their risk appetite when they sent me the card reader or when they said it was fine to take the £13,000 deposit.
Do not entertain these conmen, they will destroy your business

I have used worldpay for my business for 20 years. Their service used to be excellent for businesses. It seems now they are outsourcing their customer care and the agents do not speak understandably, give pat answers such as "Thank you for your patience". And do not solve the problem. It is unfortunate and a waste of time.

Tip for consumers:
The processor I was using become defunct and worldpay when it no longer worked worldpay told my "We are no longer supporting that system. I lost two days of sales! Why did they not inform me in advance? In addition, they have one day of sales that have not transferred to my bank. Terrible service.

Unethical business practices. We are forced to use World Pay through Zen Planner to process payments for our gym memberships. Something as simple as chaning the bank account has taken over three months as they continuously kicked back our application because they don't like how our checks looked. We did finally get approved and billed over $10,000 in memberships, yet eight days later we have still not had our money deposited into our business checking account. We called World Pay. They froze our funds and sent our account to "investigations" but never communicated this to us. We had to reach out to them. They now refuse to release our billed funds for without reason. They've told us to "keep checking your bank account to see if the funds were deposited" while they've done nothing to find resolution. As a small business owner, this is debilitating! We have bills and employees to pay! We have done everything in line with what they requested and demanded from us. We aren't doing any shady workarounds of the system, our business has been established for EIGHT YEARS and runs the same billing dates every single month! All we needed to do was update our bank account. We are three months into this nightmare!
World Pay has been the bane of our existence and I am confused why this software business even necessary.

Tip for consumers:
RUN! DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE
