Unacceptable support for a business-critical payment migration - 1y & ongoing

We are a webshop merchant using Datatrans/Planet for PSP and acquiring. Because the old card payment module will no longer work for Visa and Mastercard, we need to migrate to their new plugin.

The migration has been extremely frustrating. In our case, the new plugin lacked functionality required for our setup. After more than a year of discussions, the missing functionality was not provided by Datatrans/Planet, so our own developer had to build it.

Even now, backend/permission issues remain and prevent a clean production rollout. We have tried to escalate this through support, phone and sales channels, but the responses have either been missing, too slow or not useful.

This is not a minor feature request. It affects our ability to accept card payments in our webshop. Based on this experience, I consider the product and support unsuitable for a merchant who depends on reliable e-commerce payments.

Dear Patrick,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges and delays you have encountered throughout your setup process.
We regret the frustration caused by the missing functionality, the prolonged implementation timeline, and the difficulties you experienced when seeking support and escalation. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
Please be assured that our technical specialist is actively working on your case and is liaising closely with your system provider and he will keep you up to date on the situation. As part of the final integration phase, cooperation with the third-party system provider is required to address the remaining technical and permission-related aspects and ensure a successful production rollout.
Thank you for your feedback, which helps us identify areas where we need to improve. We remain committed to resolving the outstanding issues and restoring your confidence in our services.

Excellent Customer Support and Efficient Problem Resolution

Patricia was extremely helpful in resolving an issue we were experiencing with our card terminals. After I submitted a support ticket, she got back to me promptly and took ownership of the issue. She was professional, knowledgeable.

What made my experience great was Patricia's willingness to investigate the problem thoroughly and her commitment to finding a solution. Her communication was clear, and she made the whole process much easier than I expected.

The company is doing well by providing responsive and customer-focused support. Having team members like Patricia, who genuinely care about resolving issues and delivering excellent service, makes a real difference. Thank you for your assistance.

Best Support Experience by Gery

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent support provided by Gery.
From the moment we connected, her response was prompt, professional, and very reassuring. She took the time to clearly guide us through the troubleshooting steps and ensured we fully understood the process. Thanks to her patience and expertise, the issue with our terminal was resolved smoothly and without delay, which was extremely important for our store operations.
What truly stood out was her positive attitude and willingness to help, making the entire experience stress-free and efficient. It’s always a great experience when support is delivered with both technical knowledge and genuine care.
Thank you, Gery, for your outstanding support—it is truly appreciated!

Customer Support Specialist Ms. Viktoria 10/10

Dear Ladies and gentlemen,

I want to express my most positive experience with Customer Support Specialist Ms. Viktoria (company: Datatrans; location: Madrid) during my phone call with her on Thursday 28.05.2026, which she initiated herself. Her great knowledge and competency gave me a first and very important understanding of our hotel’s booking engine’s problem with processing credit cards. She took a lot of time and effort to help me – much more than I’m used to from our other software providers (Booking.com, HotelNetSolutions, Saferpay, etc.) – and even did a trial booking on our website. I recommend her to the highest degree – also her kindness and humor.

Best regards from Vienna and Hotel Gilbert,
Maximilian Resch
