Plooto as 3rd Party ACH Provider

My overall experience has been great. Customer service is timely and helpful. This software has saved me countless hours of which I don't have to spare!
Pros
The integration with Quickbooks Online is simple and makes my A/R seamless. I love that my clients set up an ACH agreement one time and moving forward I request and process my A/R with a click of a button. I can also select which account I want the deposit to go to. Data is easy to download for reconciliation purposes as well.
Cons
I would like to see a default bank account option so I don't have to select a bank account for each transaction. I would also love for the deposit times to improve.

It's alright, the integration with Xero is a bit iffy.

It's alright. Not great. Not bad. Nothing to write home about.
It's alright. Not great. Not bad. Nothing to write home about.
Pros
It's affordability and versatility. The ability to have people on ACH subscriptions is a large plus
Cons
No option to accept credit cards. The rigidness of the PAD form and not allowing us access to the PAD form in the event that we want to move to a different platform. Not easy to add new vendors without adding an inconvenience to them.

StripeReasons for Switching to Plooto
The price compared to Stripe is nicer. The subscription with ACH through using a PAD form put Veem out of the running.- Industry: Accounting

Pricing model needs to go back to what it was
Reviewed on 12/02/2020
Pros
Easy to use, great concept, would recommend it if pricing made sense.
Cons
- Used to be very competitively priced, with the subscription model it is very hard to justify this expense to clients, especially since the use base is mostly small forward thinking companies who have very little vendor payments to make in the first place.
- Very limited customizability when a lot of customization could be offered at the basic level.
- It's never a good business practice to force people to use your product for lack of alternatives. Due to the horrible pricing model change, if there was an alternative, I would be using it.

A great alternative to accepting credit cards

Pros
I saved a lot on Merchant fees for my monthly billing.
Cons
The new fee structure still saved me money but not quite as much. I find the set up and navigation a little clunky.

None of my clients use cheques and rarely any other mode of payment. Plooto could improve the approval process, however.
Pros
Plooto synchronizes with QBO pulling in all unpaid bills. Paying suppliers is done simply by ticking the unpaid items particularly if you have set up the supplier in Plooto with their banking information. If not available an e-transfer can be made or Plooto will solicit this detail from the supplier for you. Collecting outstanding receivables in QBO also works very nicely although some clients are suspicious of the solicitation. USD payments and rapid payments are also available if Plooto is prefunded, otherwise a fee is applied.
Cons
The payment interface with QBO was not well thought out. The first step initiates a payment and a designated approver will then have to approve the payment. Plooto immediately marks the bill as paid in QBO. The approver often delays in approving payment due to cash flows or disagreement. Running a balance sheet or payables listing in QBO is misleading since items have been removed as 'paid'. Putting the bills back into QBO as unpaid means deleting the initiated payment in Plooto and manually deleting the payment if QBO. This often leads to mistakes if there are large volumes and a busy schedule, sometimes resulting in double payments . In spite of the claims by Plooto the balance showing in QBO often become irreconcilable resulting in a write off. Plooto does not import credit amounts resulting in overpayments. The resolution to this by Plooto to this issue is extremely simple. Do not mark 'initiated' payments as 'paid' only 'approved' payments.
