We haven't begun using them fully yet We haven't begun using them fully yet, but I was still confused on all the prices associated and what Dharma does compared to the needed accounts with MC Merchant and Authorize.net. As someone new to this, I guess I needed more step by step help. Looking forward to how it grows with us, however!

I researched over 15 companies! I am vast knowledge in credit card rates, what is offered by various companies, and what gimmicks many of these companies try to play. I researched over 15 companies, trimming down to three finalists. Dharma was the SECOND cheapest when it came to ALL cost associated with processing credit cards in a high-volume single unit restaurant. We went with Dharma because the sales rep simply answered the questions, did not try to "win" us over, and was straight forward. What made the difference is that Dharma does A LOT for society by donating to many charities and being a responsible business. Being a Rotarian, that matters, and we are willing to go with the SECOND cheapest company for what they stand far. They are also a small company with only a couple dozen employees with extremely low turnover (I also researched the company regarding employee satisfaction rate such as glass door). That means they take really good care of their staff...and that matters!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID! Very sketchy mishandling of our account. Dharma allowed a fraudulent terminal to be created with our merchant ID, without verifying its authenticity with us the owners. As a result, our account was hit with fraudulent refunds in excess of $3,000 until Dharma noticed and finally put in security, 3 MONTHS LATER. Even so, they NEVER told us about the breach, instead reprogramming our terminal and reissuing our merchant ID without any explanation as to why. When we noticed the incongruous charges, they claimed it is OUR responsibility for the funds, not theirs. They are on very shakey legal ground here. SOMETHING VERY BAD IS HAPPENING AT DHARMA. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Everything has been perfect so far We've only been with Dharma for a couple of weeks but, in that short time, the customer support has been top-notch. We asked a bunch of questions before signing up and they answered all questions promptly, courteously, and comprehensively. Unlike other merchant account providers, Dharma is completely up-front and transparent with their fees. As for funding, Dharma is faster than our former provider and there haven't been any batch failures.

The people at Dharma are ridiculously… The people at Dharma are ridiculously easy to work with!! This part of running a business is never fun, nor is it easy to understand, but all the wonderful people at Dharma make it relatively pain free! Honest, friendly, responsive are words I would use to describe them. It's like working with your favorite family members! Talk to them...give them a try (no contracts) - you won't regret it!
