            AVOID! They promised they were cheaper than the processor I was using but ended up being much much more expensive. Processing fees as high as 10%. CRAZY. And after being assured by the salesperson there was no contact term or cancelation fee, I find out charge $500 if you want to stop using their service. SCAM

            I was recently contacted by Appstar regarding a potential switch in my credit card processing services. I clearly expressed my disinterest, yet they insisted on sending a sales ***resentative. I reiterated my lack of interest, but today, the *** unexpectedly showed up at my business.Despite my clear communication, the ***resentative insisted on calling his supervisor on ************ in front of my employees. When the supervisor came on the line, he claimed they simply needed to collect information about my business, which I again declined. Shockingly, he suggested that I was being dishonest about my disinterest and claimed he could ***lay our initial conversation as proof.This accusation, made publicly in front of my staff, is not only unprofessional but also deeply disrespectful. Even if I were in the market for a new credit card processor, their aggressive and predatory sales tactics have assured me that I will not be doing business with them. I will also be advising others to steer clear of Appstar
