## Yoco Reviews
  ### 1. Terrible after sales service

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Delon l. | Freelance Writer and International Correspondent, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2023

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

The design of the newer model machines is sleek and the large touch pad is useful

**What do you dislike about Yoco?**

Yoco customer service is nonexistent at best. Customer representatives lack basic comprehension skills and do not answer customer queries in detail. Furthermore actions are unsubstantiated and simply explained by "Please refer to your merchant agreement". The merchant agreement is a general document with no specifics directly related to the merchant and as such is of no use when attempting to correct errors or clear up disputes.

Overall, shoddy. I would NOT recommend

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

None. International Travellers using their cards have longer than usual transaction times and are often declined even if the customer has sufficient funds which can be embarrassing for both business owner and client.

  ### 2. Yoco are withholding over R200K of my money! Fighting for 10 Days to get a Payout!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

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

- Fee reduction as you increase turnover 
- Secure Online Payment Links

**What do you dislike about Yoco?**

- Customer Service is shocking (Management & Onboarding Team)
- No one ever gets back to you when there is a delay in payout which ultimately could sink your small business 
- Payouts not always on time
- Team does not communicate with each other (The departments are very separated so it takes a long time to get any issue resolved)

See Below my current issue: 

I wonder if leaving this here will get me the service I need in order to continue running my business. Yoco are withholding over R200K of my money and I am on Day 10 of fighting with them to get my payout!!!! 
I spoke to Lwanda on Live Chat - sent her my ID as requested - was told my account had been frozen for security reasons and requested a re-activation. Promised it would be activated same day & payouts to reflect in 1-2days. 
Live Yoco Chat 8th July - No outcome
I then spoke to Rajab - Advised payments were still off (Lwanda clearly did not do her job). Advised sent to onboarding team. Promised it would be reviewed same day. Promised payouts in 1-2 days.
Live Yoco Chat 11th July – No outcome 
Then I got an email from the Onboarding Team, 4 days after my initial request and after 6pm! As follows: 
We are unable to verify the company registration number that you have signed up with, may we please request the following; 
- CIPC documents 
- Share Certificate (To be signed by at least one director) 
Please ensure that the person signing up on the Yoco profile is one of the registered directors of the business. 
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out or click on the following link: https://support.yoco.help/.../What-does-verification-mean

Kind Regards, Jen

Currently sitting on a Live chat with Charms. Told that its been escalated to the onboarding team (was told this 7 days ago). Told that they are following up with the team and working on it. Told they have requested to speak with a manager and waiting feedback from the team.....  I have been waiting over 1 hour 30minutes.......

  ### 3. Best Card Machines!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** shaun m. | Hosting Service Provider, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

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

I have been with YOCO for more than two years, and I enjoy their services and the FREE to use POS system they are using. The YOCO support is always available to assist you when you need help with their products. I have YOCO Linked with my WordPress websites, and I use them to process payments for my products. I urge everyone to choose YOCO as their first option when coming to payment methods and Card Machines. The best function I love about YOCO is the function "PAYMENT REQUEST". Payment Request will allow you to send a request to any customer that needs to pay for their services. YOCO, keep up the excellent work and always have such lovely and kind support!

**What do you dislike about Yoco?**

The only thing I dislike about YOCO is that on the YOCO GO and YOCO pro, you do always have to have data to use the card machine connected to your phone. I would like YOCO to have their application free of charge. Further on, YOCO is the best!

**Recommendations to others considering Yoco:**

Make sure that you always lead to success. With YOCO, everything is possible, and they always have advice for your business.

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

The benefits you have with YOCO are adding all your products to your store on the POS system. All Staff will be able to see the pricing of items and if the things are in stock. Customers are also able to buy vouchers for your store, and this will give you a good boost in your business and financial relief.
