## Chargent Reviews
  ### 1. Chargent : A robust payment solution

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

chargent support multiple gateways, it track real time payments and secure payment processing

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

chargent's main dawbak is that it is costly and complex to setup

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

chargent simplify payment processing by integrating with salesforce and Real time payment status updates

  ### 2. Flexible product for processing payments in salesforce

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Chargent has really one purpose: Processing payment in salesforce, and it does that well. It's flexible because you can build your own customization or rely on its basic out of the box features. 

It can process many gateways--it sends either one-time or batched payment info to one of many payment gateways and returns the response to Salesforce. It will run off of Opportunities or Orders.

It comes with a simple card update email notification to customers that is helpful.  You set up your opportunities to get caught in a nightly batch for recurring gifts or to send email reminders when a card is expiring. All the data is managed in salesforce

Has some validation built in to stop bad data entry.

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

Because you have almost total control, the learning curve is a bit steep for an admin and the docs are thorough but maybe not simple. 

It would be nice to have more control over the queries for nightly jobs that charge recurring. It is a bit limiting in that it doesn't have a "listener" for data from your processor. Therefore it can't take advantage of new account updating feature on many processors (the ones that try to keep recurring payment info up to date without relying on the customer to update their info). 

The interface for data entry is just the salesforce record, so the UI is salesforce-limited. You can build your own Visualforce or other interface.


**Recommendations to others considering Chargent:**

Fully test out your use case and make sure the nightly batches work the way you need them to.

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Processing cards & EFT (one-time and recurring donations) in salesforce, automated recurring, automated emails to expiring cards is all done easily.

  ### 3. Great value. Great support

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jared H. | Executive Director, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Very helpful and responsive customer support. They followed up on a problem that involved an integration with another platform where it was probably a problem with the other platform, but they still made the extra effort to get it solved when the other platform didn't respond.

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

I'd love an easier way to set up with paypal, but I think the current requirements are because of paypal, not chargent. 

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're a non-profit taking donations. Chargent has been a great, affordable solution.

  ### 4. Good service

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Renewables & Environment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Chargent's integration with salesforce is great! We wouldn't be able to operate our partner and community portals without it. It integrates with all of the different gateways that we, and our partners use. the error logging is so so descriptive and complex, it definitely helps our development team troubleshoot ny errors that may come up from time to time with users making and receiving payments. 

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

Additional transparency into our accounts would be great. we also had some problems when we first started using it, and it would be good to have a etter setup guide.

**Recommendations to others considering Chargent:**

Set up a trial asap

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

online payments integrated with our salesforce platform is so necessary for us, and chargent does that unlike anyone else. 

  ### 5. Chargent - good functionality, a bit lacking in support

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Chargent supports a wide variety of payment processors, so that works well for us. We can shop around and get the best rate without worrying about what our SF integration will work with. It also integrates well with Form Assembly.

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

Support is a bit lacking - Chargent only has one support staff, so if he's busy our out of hte office, you may be SOL. They also need to be better at updating customers on changes, etc.

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Chargent is managing our recurring billing, and takes away the need for us to individually batch daily donations. The automatic batching and charging of donations is excellent and we really enjoy the ability to have some of our very busy day back!

  ### 6. Payment Request will make things easy for your team

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Pay Request and automating it's functions

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

The knowledgebase could be better.   I wish it was a bit easier to setup pay request and customize it to my liking.

**Recommendations to others considering Chargent:**

Use pay request right away if you have any kind of recurring billing.

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our billing team was essentially working directly out of a Paypal account a few years and we made the decision to go to Salesforce and pick up Chargent to allow us to track and work our billing as a team.

Chargent makes this very easy and we have recently added payment request to allow customers to update billing themselves when a transaction fails or if their card expires.   This has freed up a lot of time for our team.

  ### 7. Functional and integrates with many platforms  but needs more support and a bigger community

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

Credit card processing. No benefits yet~

**Reviewed by:** Carla C. | Independent IT Project Manager, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

quote to cash flow 

**Official Response from David Hecht:**

> Hello Carla

Thank you for your review!

You should be able to use multiple pricebooks in Salesforce to drive the Charge Amount in Chargent, assuming you are using Opportunities and the standard Salesforce products / price book functionality.

Hit up our support for pointers on how to set it up, if that is still a need.

Best,
David

  ### 12. Chargent Salesforce use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

It helped to streamline our client onboarding process so that another process can live within our firms' Salesforce org. 

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

The integration was heavy from the beginning and with our implementation with custom objects took quite a few tries to get properly set up. 

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Streamlined payment processing for our clients 

  ### 13. Great Solution for Linking Authorize.net and Salesforce

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2017

**What do you like best about Chargent?**

Setup is a breeze when using an existing gateway, i.e. Authorize.net

**What do you dislike about Chargent?**

There are issues when using other 'outside the box' gateways.  There were issues with the integration outside of Authorize.net and therefore challenges with testing and the trail can't be extended. 

**What problems is Chargent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Increasing the efficiency of payment tracking and processing.
