Reviews
Product is excellent but customer service response times can be very slow during busy periods. Had to wait 5 days for a settlement clarification. Hopefully they scale their support team.
As an e-commerce startup, Flutterwave gave us access to payment methods we could never have integrated ourselves. Local cards, USSD, bank transfer — all in one SDK. Essential infrastructure for any Nigerian business.
API documentation is very solid and the sandbox environment works well for testing. Webhook reliability has been excellent. Minor gripe: the merchant dashboard UI could be more intuitive.
Great product overall. Rave (their consumer app) is slick and the business dashboard gives good visibility. Had a minor issue with a chargeback but support resolved it within 48 hours.
Flutterwave transformed our payment collections. The integration was seamless, the dashboard is clean, and settlements are reliably fast. Our conversion rates improved noticeably.
