While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 50 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people found the user experience to be extremely poor, describing the platform as unwieldy, complex, and not user-friendly. Customers frequently encountered issues with the website, noting it was difficult to navigate, laggy, and had an outdated interface, making simple tasks time-consuming and frustrating. Reviewers were also highly dissatisfied with the customer service, often finding it unhelpful, unresponsive, and unprofessional. Many struggled with the payment process, experiencing significant delays in receiving payments and having to jump through numerous hoops to get paid. Some vendors also found the payment system challenging, which impacted their ability to submit invoices and receive payments, and in some cases, affected their relationships with clients.

Would give negative stars if possible

Would give negative stars if possible. Everything is verified on my end yet I’m still waiting for 4 separate invoice payments, one from over a month ago. Coupa tries to ruin lives. I wasn’t able to make rent because of them. Trash service full of trash people.

Our client asked that we register an account to be paid through the Coupa portal. We went through the sign up process which was arduous, pointless and horrifically over complicated. Then once we had our account nothing matched the information sent to us by the client and we were unable to navigate the platform to set things up.

This is Coupa's words: a solution to deliver a streamlined and efficient experience.The Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) gives you clear visibility of all purchase orders, facilitates the invoicing process and provides transparency over invoice statuses.

I would hate to see what the non streamlined version would look like. Why any business would use this platform confounds me, 96% giving them 1 star!!!! Hysterical.

Its now 19.02.25 and we still havent managed to get paid as we have now spent another 4hrs trying to set up Coupa Portal. I have never experienced anything this bad EVER. So far it has taken 11 emails and 23 failed attempts to configure our details on Coupa.

We will not work with ANY company that uses COUPA in future as it isn't worth the heartache of trying to get paid!!!!

1.) 2FA policies are whack

1.) Your are not given the option to disable 2FA, you are REQUIRED to enable 2FA. 2.) If you chose 2FA via the authentication app, you can not freely switch the 2FA mode to receiving a text/code, without an act of god (consents from two officers, etc.) 3.) the 2FA field for receiving text/code is not editable, so a simple cell edit function, again requires the same dual consent process. All major banking institutions and even other major third party billing systems let customers choose to enable or disable 2FA and, if 2FA via text/code is enabled, you can edit the damn cell phone field. This is the worst customer support experience I've had in my 25 year professional career.

Worst company I've ever dealt with

Worst company I've ever dealt with. I spent hours on calls with 5 different workers over the course of a month trying to get set up and submit a very simple invoice. Each employee either gave me incorrect instructions and/or had no idea how to do the task at hand of setting up a simple profile. It took 5 very long calls of contradictory direction to finally get it done. Also, the program is ridiculous in that there are several fields to be filled in that don't actually work. The employees were aware of it and didn't know how to resolve. They were also rude and tried to get off of the phone without solving the problem. Another ridiculous flaw that is representative of many more on their portal: there is a field to input a date, indicating you can input it as 00/00/0000 format. There is also a calendar you can click on if you want to input the date that way. I had typed it in the field and that was one of the reasons the process couldn't complete. It took them awhile to figure out what issue was and then she said "Oh, you can't type the date in even though it says you can. You have to click the calendar and choose it that way." (there were several other parts like this, a field to fill in that has to be filled in a diff. way than indicated! Or there are fields that the employee said i had to override in a way no one would know of because the portal indicates the opposite. I have no idea how anyone is paying money to use this service!

Nightmare experience sending a simple invoice

Our clients wants invoices thru Coupa. Like others said: a complete nightmare. Even the VAT calculation is wrong and you cannot change the amount. Coupa helpdesk (in India...) keeps stating the same incorrect answers, asks for the issue 4 times and does not provide any help. I agree with all other reviews here...a nightmare experience that costs a lot of time.

This system is distressing

This system is distressing. I couldn'agree more with all the negative experiences about Coupa I've read: I have to change password each time I login; while trying to resset the password I endup in an endless loop; there is nobody to chat with for assistance, the system keeps turning and turning and when leaving after 15 minutes waiting you get the message "No one is available to chat. Try again later. If you leave now, you’ll lose your place in line to chat". And all this because I am trying to modify personal data, which I had already changed last time I logged in.

You have made things 5x more inefficent

So you take over the accounting from our customer. Send me a 20 page pdf about how I need to do 100 things to get paid. Then, send me monthly emails telling me if i pay $450 a year i can get greater exposure. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND??? The ONLY benfit you have brought me as a supplier to my customer is...you have literally made doing busines....5x more work!

Horrible

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!
Our client uses this system and requires us to accept PO from Coupa and then invoice them. It's a nightmare! We've wasted so much time back and forth emailing, scheduling calls, and asking Coupa customer support (useless and never solved any problem)! Worst experience ever!!!

Absolute TRASH. If I could give zero stars I would. Horrible product, customer experience & interface, and all Customer Services offers as a response to ANYthing is 'I don't know'.

Faulty system and incompetent customer support

System is faulty, and very confusing to use.

Their support doesn't give a s*** about you, and just provide you with standard answers. After providing non-helpful answers, they mark the support-request as resolved and kick you out of the chat.

If possible I would give this company minus 5 stars, unfortunately I have to give them 1...

Total Coupa Flop

Trying to get payment via Coupa which uses it's own terminology and you have to spend time with them "reaching out" to ascertain where you stand.
Don't even consider them if you're looking for a change.
