Just wanted to follow up with my experience with Flint so far. Overall I am pretty happy with the company. I have done several transactions including using the Invoice option. This option is convenient because you are able to email the customer an invoice and they can pay through a link on the email so, you can charge someone without them being present. I have a customer that has hired me for several jobs mainly because I take credit card and he is able to pay through email. The invoice option has been good but, some customer when they get the email decide to just pay by check instead. Perhaps the email is a little generic so, some people dont have the confidence when making the payment. This is not a big deal checks are fine and I might be able to customize the email as well.
The only real issue I had was when I tried to charge a customer one time and was unable to because there was bad phone reception. So, we met at a different location where there was reception and ran the card again and it worked. We had to restart the phone because the screen on the phone showed that it was still loading after several minutes. We made sure a transaction didnt go through and that is when we ran it the second time. It made the customer feel a little uncomfortable but, it wasnt that bad. I now know what to do if that happens again, just restart the phone, change to a good reception area, try it again and problem solved. It could of been bad if it was a difficult customer though.
Also I recently got a transaction limit increase, the into limit was kind of low. This should be plenty good for what i do:
Scanned and Typed Transactions:
$1,500 per transaction
$3,000 per day
$4,000 per week
Invoice and Sell Online Transactions:
$4,500 per week
Ill check back and give another review after another several months.
