Trailhead vs Worldpay: enterprise pricing without the enterprise support.
Worldpay (now part of FIS) is one of the largest processors in the world. Big doesn't mean cheap, and it definitely doesn't mean personal. Trailhead reviews Worldpay statements often — and finds tiered pricing, ancillary fees, and multi-year contracts that would have been renegotiated years ago at a better shop.
The three reasons this comparison comes up.
You're on tiered pricing
Tiered pricing is the single biggest source of overpayment we see. Moving to interchange-plus almost always saves money — the only question is how much.
You signed a lease
Non-cancelable hardware leases are a Worldpay-era artifact. We total the remaining payments and model whether buying out early still saves you money over 24 months.
You can't get your rep on the phone
Enterprise processors optimize for large accounts. If you're not one, you feel it. That's what we fix.
Trailhead is not anti-Worldpay / FIS. Sometimes Worldpay / FIS is the right answer and we'll tell you. The point of the review is to know for sure — with the math shown.
