No more WePay for us! Unreliable at best...
We processed our payments through WePay for around 4-5 years. In the beginning, there were never any issues and no delays with payments. They processed overnight and were in our bank account the following day. There were 2-3 occasions when there were processing hiccups on their end that caused a delay and it took 2 days for the deposit to post to our account. In the past 12 months, we've experienced more and more delays. There is never a notification to the merchant of the delay, so if you are anticipating the deposit posting the following day, you may be in for a surprise when it is not. You should always be prepared to cover outstanding drafts on the account as their service is becoming more and more unreliable. When we ask about the reason for the delays - some taking upwards of a week (6 days) to process, we are simply given blanket canned text responses of "the delay is on our bank's end" and that "there were a few engineering issues that are being worked out" and that we should "wait 2 to 5 business days for monies to post" and that they are "not responsible for delays by the merchants bank". When we contact our bank, they have no record of any incoming deposit transactions. Generally after the email (you have to email, because they refuse to release a customer service number to call), the deposits show up in the account within 1-2 days. The service is unreliable at best at this point and we have elected to take our business elsewhere. We can't run our business not knowing when we can expect deposits. I would not recommend WePay to any merchant and we will never use them or their partner Freshbooks again. //FURTHER RESPONSE TO WEPAY WOW! It took you less than 25 minutes to respond to a review filed online, but I've still not gotten a response to my service ticket that was filed. How is 2-5 business days 6? Your quality of service is poor. Your customer service is almost nonexistent. Your agents do nothing more than issue canned text responses - similar to what you have provided in your response here. At one time, I would have sung your praises. Lately, not so much. It's a shame that you won't even admit that the errors are on your end - instead you try to pass it off to the merchant banks. Sad. Best of luck to you - we won't be back.

While we understand that some users are fortunate enough to receive their settlements the following day, this is not guaranteed. Per ACH bank transfer processing times, the standard timeframe is 2 to 5 business days. Whenever a settlement notification is issued to our users, it explicitly states that it will take this long. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We're always happy to assist via secure e-mail if you ever need assistance, which the contact form is available right here: https://support.wepay.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
