Promises a great deal but doesn't deliver
I had high hopes for Regpack, but my experience has been deeply disappointing. From the outset, I made it clear that I needed a system that could process payments in euros, as the majority of my customers are based in Europe. Regpack assured me they could handle this, but they ultimately failed to acquire a merchant account on my behalf, rendering the system unusable for my business. This wasn’t an optional feature—it was a critical requirement, and their inability to deliver on this promise meant I was left with a system that simply didn’t work.
Beyond the payment issue, Regpack overpromised in other areas as well. We discussed the need for multilingual functionality, which they assured me was possible. In reality, their ability to support translations fell far short of what was promised. The system itself is also clunky and riddled with bugs. I encountered three significant glitches that directly impacted functionality. When I reported them, I was told they had been submitted to the developers, but no timeline was given for fixes. There was no transparency about when—or even if—these issues would be addressed.
Two weeks ago, I emailed the CEO directly to outline my complaints. To date, I have not even received an acknowledgment that my email was received. I am a disgruntled customer, but the breakdown in the relationship was entirely due to Regpack’s failure to understand my needs. Rather than accepting responsibility, they continued to charge me for a system that was unusable—because they failed to provide the means by which to accept payment. Worse still, they refused to refund me despite their inability to deliver what was promised.
I spent many days building the system before they finally informed me that there were issues acquiring the merchant account. Had they simply delayed things until the merchant account was secured, this entire situation could have been avoided. Instead, they pressed ahead, allowing me to invest time and effort into building a system that I ultimately couldn’t use.
That said, the basic system seems sound, and for standard use cases—such as taking registrations for camps and similar events—it appears to work well. Many other user reviews are largely positive, which suggests that for certain businesses, Regpack may be a good fit. Unfortunately, my experience has been very different. It is when you move beyond the most basic requirements that cracks begin to show.
Regpack’s “system build” was misleading at best. I was led to believe they would set up the platform for me, but in reality, I had to build it myself with the support of a project manager. This is not a plug-and-play solution, and the learning curve is steep. If you’re expecting a fully configured system ready to use, you will be in for a shock—you will be doing the heavy lifting yourself.
Throughout the process, it became clear that Regpack operates like a young company whose sales team will say yes to everything without the ability to deliver. Their promises sound great on paper, but when it comes to execution, they fall short. If you are based in the United States and have a straightforward use case, you may have better luck. But if you need anything beyond the basics—especially if you are based outside the U.S.—I would strongly recommend thinking twice before committing to Regpack.
