Business Partner Academy: Why We Left Geidea for XPay

An education business leaves a competitor that under-delivered and finds a partner that gets back to her the same day.

The challenge

The founder had previously worked with a competitor she remembered as frustrating and unsupportive. So when she launched her own business she chose Geidea, only to find the product didn't deliver what was promised. Apple Pay was advertised but didn't actually work. Payment Links were limited to a single type, with no flexibility across customer use cases.

The solution

Business Partner Academy migrated to XPay and was contacted within two to three days of signing up. Onboarding included legal and contract walk-throughs with XPay's commercial team, with adjustments made collaboratively where needed. The academy now uses XPay Payment Links across customer types, with same-day responses from the support team whenever an issue comes up.

The results

The founder reports a fundamentally different relationship with her payment processor. Instead of waiting for support, she gets a fast response. Instead of working around product gaps, she has a stable, modern checkout. And when she didn't realise she could see decline reasons inside the dashboard, XPay's account manager surfaced it, so she could start recovering more transactions.

A clear difference in how a customer is treated

The contrast with the previous provider wasn't subtle. With XPay, the academy reached the right person fast, got problems acknowledged quickly, and stopped working around limitations that should never have existed.

"They're respectable, committed, and they show up. When I need something, I get help on the spot."
