About

Nickel is an all-in-one accounts payable and accounts receivable platform that helps B2B businesses grow their cashflow. Get paid faster with branded payment links and portals — customers pay by card, ACH, or check, and never need an account. Pay any vendor, contractor, or individual by ACH, card, wire, or mailed check using just their email, with custom approval workflows. Keep more of every dollar with free unlimited ACH, no monthly fee, no chargeback fees, and 2.9% flat-rate card processing you can pass to the payer. Native QuickBooks sync matches every payment to your books one-to-one, and idle cash earns 2% APY with Nickel Balance. We only succeed when you succeed, which is why we do the one thing our peers won't: publish exactly how we make money on every product. More than 25,000 B2B businesses, and the accountants who serve them, run their cashflow on Nickel. Get started free in five minutes — no credit card required.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It does so many things, billing, crm, nps, dashboards. One tool for everything, which is so much better than 7 tools for different things.
  • Armatic stands for accounts receivable automatic, and that's pretty much the core value prop. It starts with our Sales Team sending & getting esignatures on our SOWs. From there, Armatic is the billing solution that keeps us on top of all invoices, subscriptions, payments, and renewals. There's a lot of functionality here too, around Customer Lifecycle -- you can run Cadences, SAT Surveys, NPS surveys, etc.
  • Armatic delivers a powerful tool to my organization, solving process problems which once required oversight of many stakeholders. Armatic's ability to automate much of the customer journey allows for improved client satisfaction on top of improved invoice processing, cash flow (DSO).

Cons

  • Honestly, it’s a great tool and they are constantly listening to feedback.
  • There's a ton in the software. I don't like the feeling that I can't get to it all-- but that says more about me than the software. We're using like 1/3 of what the platform is capable of.
  • Armatic is often on the cutting edge of integrations and feature deployment, it can occasionally impact the ease of use. This is a small set back which their support more than makes up for.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Everything: it is easy to use, they have excellent support (always there to help), they are always improving their system to be better, they have new features that can help us grow our money, and also pay faster. Everything is great.
  • Nickel makes handling both receivables and payables incredibly easy for my aviation insurance brokerage. Payments are simple to send and collect, funds arrive quickly, and the cost is extremely competitive compared with other platforms I've used. The service has also been very reliable, and on the few occasions I've needed support, I've gotten a helpful response and a quick resolution.
  • API to integrate directly with our CRM Great payment UI Ability to do partial payments Ability to add cc fees
  • Nickel makes handling both Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) simple. I like that I can send and receive ACH payments completely for free. It also lets me pass credit card processing fees directly to the customer, which saves my business a lot of money.
  • Nickel is incredibly easy to use, and their customer support is top notch. Best of all, our vendors and customers consistently tell us how much they appreciate the smooth payment experience on their end.

Cons

  • I like everything :) We haven't encountered any cons with them, and if something happens, they are always there to help and resolve any issues.
  • My complaints are pretty minor. The two things I'd most like to see are a direct Xero integration and API access included at a lower subscription tier. Neither is a dealbreaker. I can work around both in my day-to-day operations, but either would make an already excellent product even better.
  • I have been having some issues with the webhooks but nothing major and they have been very responsive
  • They do not offer international payment options right now. They also don't allow you to transfer funds between internal Nickel accounts directly.
  • Honestly, nothing significant comes to mind. The platform has been straightforward and easy to use from day one, and any questions we've had were quickly resolved by their support team.
