Partywirks is a licensed software product. Our pricing plans are designed to enable any business that needs an online receptionist to find a plan that works for them. The better question is, what does it cost not to have Partywirks available for your clients?

Yes, your customers will be able to use their Visa, MasterCard or American Express with Partywirks.

Yes. We call this option of credit card information collecting “capture and hold”. We capture the information necessary to process the deposit payment manually and we hold this information in your secure Partywirks Workbench where you can retrieve the card information as desired.

There is no long-term commitment and no contracts. Our philosophy is if you like our products, services and the results, you’ll stick with us. If you don’t, you won’t. So far we have a 99% renewal rate.

We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. We also accept company checks.

The “capture and hold” method does not require an online merchant processing service. However, credit cards are not verified nor are any fund transfers automatically initiated with this option. You do have more control over when you charge deposits. Some do it immediately, other party venues do not charge the card at all for the deposit and wait for the day of the party and charge the card when their customer is present. When you use a online merchant services processor like Authorize.net credit cards are verified and deposit charges are processed instantly and automatically with no need for manual intervention.
