I'll be honest with you, as a small business owner trying to wear a million hats I lost track of just how valuable this program has been for us until recently. And when I opened up the details and saw just how many of our customers are using it, it speaks for itself. To be honest, we almost canceled this service because the rates seem daunting when you first look at them. But when you compare it to the incremental revenue that it drives, it does pay for itself fast and then generates a great ROI. Also the customer service has been terrific!

Customer service was excellent. Even though I wasn't able to achieve what I needed to, I was guided through different ways to get the same outcome from an experienced customer service representative. Thanks!

Apps need to work how you need them too. When they dont you need to know why. The support from this team was excellent in discovering why something wanst working and letting me know so I can change the right settings. Having a REAL person to interact with was more helpful than any AI.
