Debit Success vs Rotessa

Debit Success provides recurring payment services for businesses and software providers. It collects authorized payments from customers’ credit cards or bank accounts, with schedules available weekly, fortnightly, every four weeks, monthly, quarterly or ad hoc. When a payment reverses, a three-phase follow-up can involve SMS, phone, email and letters, and payment catch-up arrangements are available. Clients can receive automated daily and weekly reports or use an online portal. Reporting covers reversal rates by day, payment type and frequency, as well as sales trends by day, week and month. The billing system integrates with Xplor Clubware, PerfectMind and Xplor Education. Its web service can connect to an application, software or website and supports one-off and recurring schedules, customer detail updates, payment suspension, real-time payments, and retrieval of account status, call notes and transaction history. Business owners can use a self-service portal to run reports, manage members and update payment and contact details. Debit Success states that it is Level I PCI DSS compliant, independently certified and externally audited. Pricing is available on request.
