Q:

Q:

Does PayAnywhere offer 24 hour customer service?

A:Not at this number; hours here are Mon-Fri 8am-9pm EST. The least busy day is Thursday, and the most busy day is Wednesday. If the call center is closed, you can schedule a call.
Q:

How long will I wait on hold?

A:The average hold time is 4 minutes. The longest hold times are on Thursday, and the shortest are on Friday. You can skip the hold time for free.

How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for PayAnywhere below.

Let us call and talk to PayAnywhere for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this PayAnywhere phone number to document the phone system.
Here is how our research team describes the way the PayAnywhere phone system greets you: Thank you for calling your merchant service provider. If you do not have a merchant account with us, please press 1 now. If you do have a merchant account with us, please press 2.
Here is our latest tip for weaving through the phone menu to get to a real person the fastest: Press 1, then you must choose an option 1-3.
Below are some clips we've found from PayAnywhere's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

What are the hours and when should I call?

PayAnywhere operates the call center for this 877-387-5640 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-9pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 41 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the PayAnywhere call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this PayAnywhere phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like PayAnywhere staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call PayAnywhere is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 41 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Friday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Thursday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call PayAnywhere

In summation, the best day to call PayAnywhere is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that PayAnywhere staffs the call center well on Thursday.

PayAnywhere Customer Email Addresses

Use this link to email them for help
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and PayAnywhere will reply our your email.

PayAnywhere Customer Help Desk / Web Support

payanywhere.com - Contact Us
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
As a last, sometimes only, resort- PayAnywhere customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
