184000$ Disappeared! Not a single update...
If I can give this company a negative score I would. This company holds 184000$ of our money for now 7 months! They are not releasing it to us and haven't given us one single update, we are about to go public with that story in every news outlet. NEVER EVER TRUST THIS COMPANY. The Story is actually worse than that, initially we processed close to 300000$ with them and in the middle of our biggest annual sale, they stopped processing our transaction without any single notice. So essentially from our side we saw that the sales were going through but in reality we weren't collecting the money. Hence we shipped close to 100000$ of inventory to clients that never paid us, until we noticed what Elavon did... But it gets worse, when we called them to inquire about what happened, they claim that they only have 14000$ of our money, the rest according to them is not with them (roughly 225000$)... We were shocked so we asked them if they can help figure out what happened but they just didn't care. Luckily we have a big Shopify store and we were able to reach out some of the top admins there to help us scan our database and find the digital proof of the transactions that were processed. This process took about 3 weeks of work (stress). Once we had the proof of our funds Elavon couldn't escape the reality and admitted that yes they were now holding about 200000$ of our funds. Also, note that they gave us 0 support in the whole process, our representative even figured a loop whole to get out of the discussion with me by claiming that I wasn't being calm and hence she used that as an escape door to not take our calls anymore... Well done customer support! Then it gets worse: After they finally found our funds, they claimed that they won't release it and hold it for 30 to 90 days! This is by far the most I've ever seen a payment processor hold funds. We had no choice to comply so we did, but now we're 7 months in and still are not able to retrieve our funds. Plus it seems that Elavon doesn't treat dispute properly cause we've lost so far 25000$ in disputes that we should have won since we have proof that we shipped the inventory. If those dispute would have happened within Stripe or Paypal you would simply provide the tracking labels but with Elavon even providing the tracking labels makes you lose... All that to say, that this has been the most painful experience we've ever had dealing with a payment processor.
