Element Gateway Review

We are looking to switch to the Element Gateway from TranScend.  For those of you using Element Gateway, how is it working for you?  Any issues?  Setup problems?  Reconciliation problems?

My business manager is concerned with their ACH only requirement for fee payments.  Can anyone speak to how that ACH process is going for you?

Replies here or via email would be fine. jfreiberg@grandtheater.org

 

Thanks

  • We are still using BOA and Elavon for our merchant accounts. The Elavon accounts were fine and we did not need new Merchant numbers but we had to switch to a different platform on BOA for security reasons so we needed new merchant numbers for all of our BOA accounts. If you need more info, let me know.

    Janna, you mentioned you needed new MIDs. We are using TSYS/Elavon for processing, and as far as I can tell we can use the same MID info with both (Element in Gateway mode). 

    Did you switch to Element as your processor, which required the new Merchant IDs?

     

    Thanks,

    Joel,
    The set up was pretty easy because we are on RAMP...so grateful for them. The only issue was that we needed new merchant account numbers set up. We just went LIVE April 1, so far so good. 
    We could not get the approval to do the ACH so we negotiated to be billed each month. After we got started, their business office has allowed us to call each month with a credit card but we couldn't get that in the contract. 

    Hope it helps,
    Janna
