I find Oyster really helpful for receiving monthly payments from my contractor. I love that you can update your bank account instantly, which means you can receive one payment in one account and the next month's payment in another account. It's a pretty good feature that lets me track whether my payment is in process or sent. The payment/invoices system works well for me, and setting up Oyster was a piece of cake.

Some of the USD payment is deducted before landing into my account and I can't find any option where we can split this processing amount between ourselves and the contractor, that would be great if Oyster can provide an option for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With minimal effort, I was able to start working for a British company using Oyster while living in Germany. The setup process was simple my side and through a flat fee, I could recieve a salary from the UK company and the German tax and insurance and medical was all taken care of. I use a timesheet monthly to record my hours and their portal makes it easy to communicate with them. Their support and communication is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downsides is the fee they charge for using their services, it is quite high in my opinion but worth paying to achieve my goal of remote working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Oyster because it allows me to be paid by international companies, and the funds arrive faster. What stands out for me about Oyster is that when you get paid, the funds take a shorter time to reach your bank account. The tool I like the most is the invoice section because it shows me the progress of the funds being paid and the days remaining for the funds to reach my account. It's really valuable to me because I can see the progress of my payment. The initial setup of Oyster was very easy and quite simple. It didn't take so much time, I finished it fast because the instructions were clear and the steps were simple. I really enjoyed and liked it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the user interface and user experience. It's very clear and easy to adapt to. The app basically flows. It doesn't give any problems or have any glitches whatsoever.

One area that could be improved is the mobile app dashboard. I was searching for it since I started with Oyster. A more streamlined dashboard with quick access to payment status, preparing invoices, and tracking history would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is user friendly for when I'm navigating it to submit leave requests, find documents, submit reimbursement requests, find FAQs and more information about employment laws in my country. I also like that support is very prompt and efficient whenever I have requests, and that there have been no complications since I came on board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using Oyster for about a year now, and it has been a wonderful experience so far. I particularly like the support I get from the team whenever I have questions, especially regarding onboarding and payments. The onboarding process is also very smooth, which I appreciate. Whenever I reach out to support, I get responses within a few minutes, less than an hour, and they always manage to resolve my queries efficiently. The initial setup was also very smooth; I just had to input my information and upload my KYC document, and I was onboarded within hours without any difficulty.

I do believe this regards editing contracts, I have a feeling that mostly the contract can only be edited by the client, and it'd be so nice if the contractor could also add or modify parts, especially low-risk sections, without needing to reach out to the client. It would be great to modify it on my part and have a notice sent to the client to alert them or to let them know that the contractor made this modification. On the contract. And will be able to review it as well. So, yeah, that's what I would love for them to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
