Brands
"We had no idea how much we were spending on transaction fees through our other payment gateway - it had crept above 4% of revenue. Switching to Bold Subscriptions saved us on fees and made it so much easier for our customers to check out without needing to re-enter payment details. Bold's support team did an excellent job with the migration. The move saved us money on fees and increased customer conversion. Our only regret is not doing it sooner!"
