"Use Dwolla for ACH Payouts to our Suppliers in our B2B Ecommerce website"

5/5

What do you like best about Dwolla?

Good support, good product, and great people. There is tons of documentation which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dwolla?

I understand the goal of the API and its design, but it ends up being over engineered and hard to use. The Java support is also pretty bad. As a counter example, Stripe's API was extremely easy to understand and use for us. The documentation isn't as detailed as it should be in spots. Would like the dashboard to be more detailed and allow tracing through of all relationships with all available details for each entity. More searching and filtering options on the dashboard.

Recommendations to others considering Dwolla:

Make sure your developers properly utilize Dwolla's fantastic Slack support when building your integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dwolla solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Dwolla to make mass payouts to our Suppliers on our B2B ecommerce website. They have really dialed in making ACH easy from a regulation stand point. We have benefited from being abstracted from the complexity and antiquated-ness of the ACH system while still being able to realize the benefits of ACH. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid developer experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Dwolla?

Payments are hard without a robust, fully working and fully documented sandbox. Dwolla API documentation is fantastic and things like webhooks work, test cases for failure modes are well thought out, and the forum support is available and responded to quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dwolla?

Really, nothing. ACH is not an easy infrastructure to cope with, but Dwolla makes it as easy as it can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dwolla solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deliver the savings of ACH (vs credit card) as customer savings at the pump. Any fraud or process losses are extremely problematic for us, and Dwolla has been very helpful in working through the various issues that inevitably arise when you have hundreds of thousands of users. We have had no meaningful scale issues either, which is a big deal in this domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Dwolla?

Dwolla has partners such as MintVine that give you bonuses when you use Dwolla to receive payments from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dwolla?

When I initially set up the account, it asked me to answer some verification questions. I'm assuming that they pulled these questions from some public records somewhere but some of the questions were asking me about the birth dates of people I have never even heard of. In the end, I had to upload a photo of a government-issued ID. I think that they should either pull these questions from a more accurate source or just skip the questions and make everyone upload ID's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dwolla:

Some customers or vendors seem uncomfortable when I ask them to use Dwolla since it's not as well known as some of its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to quickly send and receive money from participating vendors I work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not bad in the youth sports world"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Dwolla?

Dwolla simplifies my ability to have my youth sports program received payments for registration directly through our website with the least headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dwolla?

The software works directly through my website and seems to be a one size fits all answer. I wish the Dwolla could store the CC numbers of our members who chose payment plan options and automatically charge their CC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Dwolla:

Dwolla is a nice choice for simplicity if it's part of your built in system. Otherwise I would do more research on what a product that specifically met your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dwolla solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software streamlined our process for online registration for as many as 300 youth athletes each year. It also interfaces with our site to help with managing payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
