### "Reliable, Secure, and Easy to Use"

December 7, 2022

5.0

My overall and overwhelming experience with this software is positive.

Pros

Affinipay payment processing is reliable, secure and easy to use. On the rare occasion that I need to contact support, service is always fast, friendly and accurate.

Cons

No real cons from my perspective. I've used Stripe in another situation and the one feature I preferred in Stripe was knowing what exact payments were coming in on what day.

### "Makes my work so much easier!"

December 16, 2022

5.0

My experience with Affinipay has been excellent.

Pros

It's so easy for our members to use! I rarely get complaints or have issues arise. Customer support is excellent.

Cons

We changed the way we do our reporting, but it was not a difficult process. My only issue is sometimes the reports don't match the bank statements at the end of the month if deposits haven't yet been processed. Not a big deal though!

Kim- Thank you for the raving review. We are pleased that we are helping you get your work done! Because deposits can take 2 business days to post, end of the month deposits can post into the next month. This is not unique to AffiniPay. Please reach out if you need us for anything. Cheers!

### "None"

December 5, 2022

4.0

Pros

unfortunately, there is not much I like about the website and looking up transactions. It super time consuming with going back to each page and then finding the date again and then clicking on each transaction to see the member company so that I can enter the invoice.

Cons

While monthly reconciliation this would be a technology issue that would need some tweaking. While reconciling every month the transactions only show the person's name and not the Company that the name is associated. So I have to click on every transaction to see which member company it is for (I am a wild apricot user for our membership) and then when I hit the back button it takes me all the way to the first transaction and then I have to filter back to the one that I was looking at. It would nice if the company name that is associated with wild apricot would reflect.

5.0

Pros

Ease of use and clarity and great user interface.

Cons

None. We like everything about it. Won't ever switch

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

Once we decided on Wild Apricot going with Affinipay was easy and actually played into our decision to go with Wild Apricot.

### "We love using Affinipay for Associations! "

December 5, 2022

5.0

Pros

Affinipay is SO user friendly and streamlined. It's easy to process payments, provide refunds, and see transaction reports. It's clean, organized, and intuitive. We switched over from a more complicated platform and it's been a breath of fresh air to use Affinipay.

Cons

I wish we had an easy way to take in person payments at our conference with a credit card swiper that connects to the platform. Perhaps there is a physical credit card swiper and I just haven't obtained one yet.

Switched from

[authorize.net](https://www.capterra.com/p/221412/authorizenet/)

### "My Affinipay Journey"

December 6, 2022

5.0

Affinipay enables our busy members to pay their dues and register for events easily without having to go through so much to accomplish their payments.

Pros

It is so easy to use on an administrator side and the customer service is superb! I know I can always reach out to someone and I'll get the help I need.

Cons

Maybe on the reports side of things. Sometimes I am searching for ways to better query reports but eventually I find what I'm looking for. Wish the system would also tell us who the payment is for - in other words, an admin may pay with their company card but they are not the actual member - would be nice to see the member's name on the transaction itself on the reports.

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

Didn't choose them - they just happen to fall in our laps upon website migration - boy, I'm glad we did!!

### "Affinipay Review"

December 6, 2022

5.0

Affinipay is a great company to work with and I would recommend them to other associations.

Pros

Affinipay is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Processing credit card payments is very easy no matter whether we are processing payments in the office, remotely or in-person. The majority of of membership dues and event registrations are paid by credit card. Customer service has always been great. When ever we have had to call or email we have received very timely responses and help with resolving any issue that may have come up, which very rarely happens. Great product. All of our Regions also use Affinipay for payment processing. It is an easy product that links with our AMS and any third party that we work with.

Cons

At this time I don't have any areas that I think need to be improved.

### "Review of Affinipay System"

December 5, 2022

5.0

This is a good product which is managed very well.

Pros

Your customer service group. I can call at any time and talk with a PERSON and not have to go through an automated attendant to do so. Also, the customer service group knows their stuff - they always have or will get me an answer in a very short amount of time. Great group!

Cons

Reporting process for automatic payments.

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

The better question for us is why do you stay with Affinipay? And that answer is because of the excellent customer service.

### "Affinipay has everything I need!"

December 19, 2022

5.0

One of the things I appreciate most about Affinipay is that it seems to always work for me when I have members specifically from China and Greece that have issues making payments via our website. I've almost always been able to manually take care of those transactions via Affinipay. The time this saves me in not having to come up with another option for payment is invaluable.

Pros

I find Affinipay extremely easy to use and it has all the features that I'm looking for in payment options. I can send a quick bill, see the status of that bill at a glance, and very easily look up previous transactions. Affinipay has made my job so much easier.

Cons

For my purposes, there is nothing that I feel is missing. It has everything I need!

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

It integrated most seamlessly with our new database/website.

I've had a great experience with Affinipay for Associations.

Pros

It's very easy to use for both the admin and our customers.

Cons

I don't think there are any cons to this software. I've used a few different similar products in the past and this is my preferred one because of how easy it is to use.

### "IBPA's Review of Affinipay"

December 6, 2022

5.0

Excellent service and reliability as mentioned previously.

Pros

The reporting makes my job significantly easier. The reliability is key - down time is never a good thing, especially when 90% of our business comes through website sales. Affinipay has proven to be extremely reliable.

Cons

The cost is higher than we were used to, but I think that has to do with the deal struck by our web host, YourMembership.

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

December 15, 2022

It is relatively easy to use . I have no problems navigating it.

Pros

The connection with our website and the ease of reports.

Cons

I would like a report that matched the deposit made each time listing all the individual components of the deposit.. This does not seem to be a possibility

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

WildApricot is the host of our website and this integrates smoothly with the application.

December 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

The key features I need for processing credit card transaction and issuing refunds are simple to use. The Affinipay site is laid out well and very responsive. But perhaps most important is that if I need support it is easy to access and high quality.

Cons

Honestly nothing - it just works the way it's supposed to. No complaints!

It's easy to use and it is easily incorporated into our website.

Cons

Review Source

Response from 8am

December 9, 2022

Ortal, Thank you. Generally speaking, payments from international members should not be an issue for you and are seldom the reason for declined payments. The only transactions that are disallowed are those from countries sanctioned by the US Treasury. Please call us so that we can go over your account and ensure that you settings are meeting your needs for all of your members. Cheers!

December 15, 2022

5.0

Implementation of installment payments through Affinipay has had the greatest impact over the past 12 months. Also, they are an excellent business partner through our member benefit program.

Pros

Affinipay is a robust platform with all the features that any association needs. It seamlessly integrates with the association platform making dues collection, event registration and sponsorship payments so simple. The affordibility for the product cant be beat. Affinipay knows the business of associations which makes them a great partner.

Cons

Ability to create custom pages on the user back end rather than going through support. Although support is very quick!

Reason for choosing 8am AffiniPay

I inherited affinipay when hired as the Executive Director in 2016. I would never envision changing.

December 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

ECF is a Florida Electrical Contractor trade association that offers members reliable industry updates, communication services, ongoing educational training, and leadership. The key to providing all these services is planning, efficiency, and good management. That's where Affinipay becomes the business partner that helps make everything happen. From beginning to end ECF doesn't have to worry about payment, posting, and follow-up on all debit/credit card payment transactions.

Cons

After the initial 'learning curve' how-to use the software period, we have had no problems adjusting to using Affinipay and find it a dependable, stable asset to our financial planning and monthly reconciliation.

### "Affinipay is Simple to Use with Pristine Customer Service"

December 5, 2022

5.0

It has been a pleasure to use the Affinipay software. It's easy to use and gives us all the data we need. Even more important is the expert live customer service which is almost like a personalized concierge service. This is a great feature. Would recommend it easily and with confidence as Affinipay has exceeded our expectations.

Pros

Affinipay's biggest feature is its simplicity and ease of use. Love the admin page which details all activity. It's so easy to bill or receive money. They also provide custom landing pages for various fundraising initiatives. We find this feature extremely helpful. Lastly, their customer service is very efficient and accountable in a timely manner. Always a real person to deal with and always courteous and professional.

Cons

So far we have been happy with Affinipay as is.

December 12, 2022

5.0

Outstanding product as our organization serves people throughout the US and is secure enough for our members to feel that they can use safely when paying for products and dues

Pros

I love the ease of downloading daily reports of our online/credit card payments. The customer support has been outstanding whenever concerns or questions have arose.

Cons

Unable to tap open a daily report from the monthly deposit report. It would be outstanding to be able to link over especially when downloading several daily deposit reports

December 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

We like the fact that it is embedded in our own website payment page, no need to take the payer to a separate website.

Cons

The monthly summary statement is too complicated.

Review Source

Response from 8am

December 28, 2022

Marco- Thank you for your review. The monthly summary statement has a ton of information on it that makes it seem quite complicated. The statements are generated to fit the needs of accounts of all sizes and all pricing plans. Therefore, some of the information on the statement might not pertain to your individual account type. We are rolling out some new statements later this year. I hope they better meet your needs. Cheers!
