Dear Aakash,

We are sorry to read this review as we have been in constant contact with you since February 27, 2022.
As we explained to you by mail your account has not received payments since July 2020 and was suspended (not deleted or closed) in December 2020 for security reasons.

If you wish to activate your account you must fill out the new form and send the requested documents since for legal reasons we must have the complete information of all the merchants that use our services as payment gateway.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,
Paygol team.

Bad experience

Do not trust this company, they have deleted/locked my account without any notification, yesterday I have made a ticket asking a question about my account information and today I cannot login with my account and the recovery password option does not recognize my email (so probably they have deleted/locked my account).

Fortunately this was happened before receiving any payment using Paygol. I will prefer other methods for payments.

SCAMERS! Don't do business with them

A company with very bad customer service. A very bad business model, you cannot withdraw until you have $ 250 in payments and they also process the payments up to 3 months after they have done it. I don't really recommend it, it will hurt your business....

Edit 12/05/22: They blocked my account with the money I had, they stole everything from me.

Edit #2 12/05/22: They reactivated my account and stole more than USD$200, which according to them was not really paid, that is, they took it and left me USD$19.99, NEVER do business with these scammers!

Shady tactics

Good UI, easy to use API and decent support. I've been using it for around one year and enjoyed the payment gateway itself, but I started noticing shady things going on such as them increasing fees without any notice. A few months after that I received a message that my account was suspended (with all the money in the account). I didn't have a lot in my account balance, however the fact that they stole it just like that is a good reason for me to not recommend this service to anyone. If you have any serious project, go for alternatives such as PayPal or Skrill.
TLDR: Good first impressions, but shady tactics used by people running the service.

Paygol is not trusted

Paygol is not trusted. I paid for a service and provider couldn't deliver the items to me. Then he and I asked paygol to refund the money. But paygol says they can refund after 6 months. That is scam. Do not make any payment with paygol.com

Just close our account

Just close our account - no cashout option proivded anymore as we were "unfriendly" to the team as CreditCard is not working since more then 3 month - Ticket: #18374. Account locked since over one month a request for unblocking was confimed but never done. No feedback about the cashout or even any other reaction since over 14 days from the helpdesk. And please do not be as stupid and opena ticket again that we can NOT read with a locked account. Won't use it anymore and only want the rest of my money. Happy that I did not add mutch money there.

Dear Paul Feder,

Thanks for giving us some more information.

Regarding your locked account, our system "for security reasons" suspend any account after inactivity where via support you can restore it. We do not have any email from you requesting this.

PD: Do not use offensive language, everybody deserves respect.

Kind regards,

I am a Merchant with PayGol. Werwolf Gaming

I am a Merchant with PayGol.
I originally joined PayGol in January 2019, the support was helpful in getting my account up and running in a timely manner and with custom request (Used alternative ID) which was very helpful of them.

PayGol acts as your agent (or middle man more informally) to give you easy access to gateway providers most smaller/independent businesses may not be able to access. Some examples of the most helpful to myself as a UK business owner have been, iDEAL, Bancontact and Sofort. They also accept other less used European systems such as Giropay. These systems and customer bases were simply inaccessible for my business until now. Relying solely on PayPal is difficult in the European Market (which PayGol clearly grasped and filled a need)

PayGol supports PaySafe Card, however applying is very strict, my business was rejected by PaySafe Card. Fees seem very high for this gateway, however.

PayGol is really designed for Merchants who need a secondary income stream provider. Ideally, you should not rely solely on PayGol for your credit card transactions. PayGol (for UK Merchants at least) use VougePay who have a high decline rate in some countries in Europe but seem to have decent acceptance outside of Europe. This may because Vouge Pay originates in Nigeria which likely triggers a lot of the overly sensitive UK banking/Europe systems here.

Fee's with PayGol:
Fee's on PayGol are high compared to going directly with the supported gateways. However as previously covered, a majority of users using PayGol have done because a direct approach is not possible. Fee's are understandable, however, if you are checking out with PayPal as your exit fees will be around 12-18 percent overall, depending on your withdrawal gateway make up. I prefer this over no customers from these gateways.

So far I am happy with PayGol, if I run into issues in the future with the service, I will post here with an edit. However, very good so far!

EDIT UPDATE:
I have had my first Chargeback with PayGol. Chargebacks, as most will know, aren't anything related to PayGol (or even the gateway). I was impressed that PayGol did not press a chargeback counter-claim without my permission (As PayPal does) and thus there were no additional fees for the chargeback. Impressed!
