RUN! DO NOT WALK! This company is a complete fraud. Not only are their services absolutely terrible, outdated and unreliable, they will charge you fees for literally not having the service. I wouldn’t recommend this service or company to anyone, even if it was the last company on earth. They have been the absolute worse company to “work with”—even though I am not even on their platform. They are frauds and LAWSUITS are waiting to happen. They would promise that their systems are capable of handling rollouts with our franchise BUT that is otherwise proven. Such a HUGE mess and they would just keep charging fees, regardless that their system isn’t even capable of handling a children’s lemonade stand, let alone a store. Pathetic. I’d give them negative 5 stars if I could. STEER CLEAR!!! RUN to the nearest EXIT. SAVE YOURSELF.

One star only because zero was not possible. So very shady - as an existing client, back in March '22, I, and I suppose everyone? received a "pop-up" on the register requiring my cashier to agree to their new terms of service. Plus, even if the pop-up wasn't clicked, simply continuing to use the system was a de facto contractual agreement. What's in that agreement, on page 11? A new three-year contract with full payment required if cancelled. No notice, no acknowledgment of agreement. Nothing. I only found out when I went to cancel the service and now am on the hook for thousands of $$. Please everyone, let me know where to sign up for the class-action lawsuit.

Ever since I switched to Revel Advantage my business life has become more complicated. Missing deposits, Adyen dashboard displaying inaccurate information. You can't even contact Adyen as Revel is the gatekeeper and they do not respond to legitimate concerns. They say "very sorry about your experience" quite a lot but do nothing about it. When I ask to escalate my concerns they tell you what you want to hear then "leave you hanging." by not responding or answering your direct question. I have been in business for 25 years and I have never had the poor customer service and amateurish product that I have experienced with Revel Advantage and Adyen. I am counting the days until my contract with Revel expires.

I'd give zero stars if I could. Aside from their weak technology, their support and communication are non existent. They've deducted money BEFORE the start date of services, they do not respond to emails or calls, and the reporting is unclear and confusing. The integration with 3rd party sales is not reliable and you will lose both customers and money. Their technology does not support what they are selling and I would steer clear of this company at all costs.

STEER CLEAR!! Lost orders, painful user experience, horrendous reporting, over billing, failed credit card processing daily, random system reboots required daily during store hours, incompatible with loyalty program. The list goes on and on. The one thing I will admit is that they are good at getting foolish executives to buy their lies. Whatever you think you are getting with Revel, please think again!!

Revel = Overpriced dishonest and corrupt. Its terrible that a company can operate in this day and age with such dishonesty - from hiding costs, failing to supply agreements yet embedding them in a url link in the fine print to obscure it, Order forms that order monthly subscriptions then you find out it has a three year term that was never disclosed, sales men that tell you to contact their providers of equipment to get a price, sales men that lie and wont stand by their own word. Then you have the 15k cancellation fee for the 3 year contract you were never advised you had. Customer service teams that don't communicate and pass you off to each other to further yet obscure you from getting any value. A disgraceful company, shame the software is ok, they are now just a greedy corporation with no appreciation or view of their customers. With this company they customer is always wrong and they will tell you so.

They hold your money long beyond any other credit card company/pos service . Transactions from a Wednesday still have not posted on a Saturday and no help or explanation or care for the impact to the small business.

The software isn't terrible but the fees make it not worth it. Every additional add on costs extra. To get decent service it's $60 a month. To have a loyalty system is another $25. If you don't use their processor it's another $149. Then on top of it they just raise the software fees above your contracted amount whenever they feel like it and then tack on a 10% administrative fee. I went from under $275 a month to $424 and they had the gaul to tell me they'd charge me the $15,000 cancellation fee if I tried to cancel four months early because of it. Never use this company if you have a choice.
