nick was helpful. I wish they could have calls but he did the best he can and i really appreciate him. but you guys need to fix a few things on the integration to make it smoother in my opinion specially the foreign currency transactions that i receive in my local currency.
Maycel was very kind and patient. I won't know until tomorrow if the problem is solved, but she did give me an alternate method to fix manually if the re-sync on the account did not fix it. I'm happy with the transaction. I only gave 4 stars because the interaction did not create an immediate fix through the system.
Ivy was extremely helpful
VINNY in Service is absolutely top-notch, able to quickly diagnose difficult issues with this connector (of which there are many, but that's not on Vinny) and give A+++ service. They may not get the code right, but they support it well!
Chelle was extremely helpful in fixing one of the many sync issues we have faced in the last month
