I didn't really know any other options for this kind of service, but since the previous owner of the business used it I stuck with it. I wish that when I call customer service they wouldn't just hang up on me. It would also be nice if the waiting time wasn't longer than 25 minutes.

Originally, I had gone with them since their rates were low. It hasn't really worked out for my website though, so I'm actually trying to cancel my account right now. No one has gotten back to me about that so far. I've called numerous times asking to speak with someone about it, or at least to have someone call me back and help me cancel my account. I was told I should receive an email response with a form to go with the cancellation but I never received it. They're really lacking in their customer support. They shouldn't ignore their customers.

I got it since it was reviewed well on the internet. The interface on the pen pad is extremely confusing for my customers though. When they insert the card they get two options, Visa debit and US debit and that is extremely confusing. I'm not happy with that. I haven't really dealt with customer service.

They were convenient to reach and responsive, so I went ahead and got it. I haven't received the keypad terminal that I ordered though...I ordered in August and it's still not here. I've also been charged since then and I've tried to talk to customer service 4 separate times. They always say it's going to be fixed immediately, but I'm still waiting on them. All those things should be worked on and fixed immediately.

We originally received the wrong machines and after speaking with our customer rep. (Elsie B) made sure that we received the correct ones in a timely manner. After that situation we were being charge in upwards of $400.00 merchant fees the took care of the matter and gave us a full refund. We recently had a problem with our clover mini and made it possible for us to get a new machine. Ms. Elsie has gone above and beyond to insure that our needs are met. She has always been polite and very helpful when we speak with her and she always puts the customer first. Thank You John & Melissa TPRD#9

Started a new business in December 2016 and needed a mobile payment solution. Adam Nichols at Flagship took the time to explain to me the different mobile equipment options and fees. Once the equipment arrived, the set up was quick and without glitches. We were able to charge our clients that same day.

In my opinion, they acted fraudulently. I did not understand the st up. When asked to cancel, they agreed. Then months later as I was charged monthly on my credit card, they claimed that they sent me an email that I had to reply to in order to be cancelled. I never received any email and had no idea that I was still being charged.

Sales rep forged my application, knowingly lied to get me approved and didn't tell me that I didn't qualify so he faked the answers. This led me to having a significant portion of my sales frozen for over 6 months and almost cost me my business. Flagship MS is the worst company I have ever dealt with.

It is a trap! They attract you with low rates, but in the fine print agreement you agree to let them automatically enroll you in subscription for their advertisers and if you do not catch it right away and opt out of each one individually, then you automatically agree to a contract.
