"Great Customer Service and Platform"
What do you like best about Merchant Central by NMI?

The Merchant Central staff, is of course, very knowledgeable and helpful. They promptly respond to tickets. Additionally, the system itself is fairly easy to use and therefore user-friendly. Both programming/building new workflows and creating/converting new leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Merchant Central by NMI?

There is not much I dislike, but one of the main concerns is the ability to connect to other Acquirers in order to receive a live data feed for Merchant Processing. The current turn-around time to have something like this even considered is 2 years out, which we all know it is impossible to wait that length of time for any feature request. In that amount of time somenone can switch CRM providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Tool with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Merchant Central by NMI?

I do like the versatility of Merchant Relationship Management by NMI. It has a lot of features that are very useful. For instance, the ticket type creation is one of the most powerful tools on the operation side; although there were initially some misunderstood uses, once you build them out, it works really great. The email templates for automating communication are also valuable, helping us streamline interactions with merchants. These templates help automate a lot of communication, making the whole process more efficient and yielding good feedback from merchants. The ticket types are also versatile and expansive, with roughly 300 ticket types that I utilize, allowing us to manage the workflow better. Categorizing tickets is extremely valuable for pulling reports, and overall, email templates make communication very automated, which is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Merchant Central by NMI?

I think an area that could improve is creating a parent to child ticket relationship. Right now, if I have an item that needs to be worked on by multiple people, I have to create multiple tickets, which isn't efficient. It would be helpful to have a parent ticket that spawns child tickets for each group that needs to work on it. Once all child tickets are completed, the parent ticket would automatically close. Also, there's a lot of empty space when logging into an account, and it'd be great to see key details like the terminal type or pricing program without digging through tickets. NMI also lacks inventory management, so we have to use a third-party provider, which complicates managing applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Merchant Relationship Management"
What do you like best about Merchant Central by NMI?

Centralized merchant relationship management product that does many things that others don't it seems to get to the goal line but doesn't always cross it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Merchant Central by NMI?

It needs;

Account badges/identifiers: Adding clearer visual identifiers would help differentiate accounts more quickly and reduce the risk of errors.

Improved bulk change functionality: Expanding bulk-edit capabilities would streamline updates and save considerable administrative time.

Ability to suppress line items: Providing more flexibility to suppress or hide specific line items when needed would improve reporting clarity and client-facing documentation.

More integrated onboarding: A more seamless and consolidated onboarding workflow would enhance both internal efficiency and the client experience.

Quicker project turn around, better auto fill, too many steps in many processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined CRM for Merchant Services"
What do you like best about Merchant Central by NMI?

I really like Merchant Relationship Management by NMI for its convenience in capturing leads and new clients using webforms. It's also great for sending out welcome emails and keeping track of customer interactions. My favorite feature is the ability to notify and track leads and flows into the system, which can then be converted into actions like emails. The initial setup was easy, and they helped us bring over our leads from Salesforce. We moved from Salesforce because it was huge and clunky, while Merchant Relationship Management is streamlined. It's the best one for Merchant Services, and I rate it a 10 for recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Merchant Central by NMI?

They are always making improvements but the more processing banks they have that we can one click from a lead into a submitted app the better. Only other thing I wouldn't mind seeing is more customization to the visuals on their webform solution. We use it extensively but it lacks on the customization visually.

"Very helpful"
What do you like best about Merchant Central by NMI?

I have been using the service since last May and enjoy using it. I appreciate the automatic email templates that we can set up. And we consistently use it to store information about our clients and possible future clients. It is very dynamic and fluid. I am using version 2 and most of my co-workers are using the first version. They said they don't like how everything is pushed into each other, it seems like it's all too close together. I enjoy having everything there for me to find easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Merchant Central by NMI?

I don't have much CRM experience, so I don't really have anything I can compare it to. I don't have any complaints about it so far. I use the 2nd version and most of my co-workers are used to the first version. I always have to put /v2/ into the address bar to get it to switch over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
