In what way would Stripe be better? I like at people that use Stripe like the 
people that get their automotive parts from Walmart. Yeah, you could, but...

Exactly. Stripe has very very nice records of every thing. Very user friendly 
web and app. 


IPpay is like the Big Mac truck in Africa from 1985. Yeah. It does its job. But 
it’s not pretty. 


Stripe is like the hot new Tesla pickup. Maybe it costs just a tad more. But 
it’s way better, IMHO.

CTI (IP Pay) is generally not flexible and not all that ISP friendly IMHO. 
Although I do use IP PAY integrated with VISP and have no issues with it other 
than what you describe in looking up transactions.

I will tell you my issue with IP Pay. 

We aren’t large. Our network runs like a giant Hotspot and most customers pay 
monthly when their time runs out.. Our billing solution(WiFiRush) uses 
Authorize.net . Authorize.net sends a payment receipt with transaction number, 
etc. to the Email address the customer provides. I also receive a copy, which 
is automatically sent to a folder that is only used in case there is a 
catastrophic failure of something and all billing records get lost. 

IP Pay is inflexible and refuses to do that. They want my system to send the 
receipt to the customer, which it does not. They also say that I must manually 
look up records of any past transactions in their web site. This is cumbersome 
and (for me) it is much easier to search for the customer name in my backup 
receipts that were Emailed. I seldom need them but it is good to know they are 
there. 

I once almost started using them but this issue stopped the show. Unfortunately 
they started billing me a monthly fee even though I never officially started 
using them and never processed any transactions at all. It was a lot of 
difficulty to make them stop charging me. 

If they would simply send the receipts, like Authorize.net does, I would 
probably switch to them since they are supposedly “ISP Friendly”. I can’t 
believe this is not an option of theirs!

I think you need to re-visit IP Pay, Propay, etc. for current quotes. Stripe 
absolutely is more expensive.

Still lower than the quotes I got from all the others. Plus, it’s easier to 
configure, manage, use, etc.

Lower cost on the CC processing, also, our current system is built on that with 
tokens, so it would avoid us having to collect credit card information from all 
of the customers again. The first point being more important than the second.

Seems like the BMU was a solution to a problem that didn't exist in the first 
place.

I imagine it's for new customers or customers stuck in their ways. Everyone 
else running Powercode is already running the BMU and spending their time on 
other things instead of replacing what's already working.

Mikrotik BMU is still in beta. Pretty much everyone is currently using the

Your still around the business? I haven't spoken to you in long while.. I 
was using iwisp.gr I just switched to powercode about week ago and my 
powercode isn't working due to miktroik bmu is still in beta and everytime I 
call into support I get excuses it just seems like powercode lacks the 
support for there software. If powercode doesn't get there act together I 
might be looking to switch to ubnt crm or sonar.
