I’m curious, I read a lot of these journeys and I wanted to know the people who are doing social media for peoples business how are you accepting payments? Are you taking credit cards, checks? Etc?

7/10 pays by friends and family on request, then there are no fees.

Other customers i have to accept the fees. It’s a couple of $, very small piece of the monthly fee. Almost all customers asking for my pp. Happy for now.

Isnt free also i guess?

If you only have 1 PayPal account and you will have issues if you got it banned I will advice you against accepting payments as friends and family, they will block your account when they detect that.

https://stripe.com/ is also good for accepting credit card payments. Even recurring payments work perfectly. Easy to apply and no problems till now. Fees are acceptable. And a lot of payment plugins support Stripe.

If you like bank transfers https://transferwise.com/ is nice. They have a “Borderless account” where you can open many different local bank accounts in different countries and with different currencies. So you can have a US bank account in $$$, a British bank account in Pounds, a German bank account in Euro’s etc. And almost all their services are free or very cheap.

I hate Paypal.

Yes, if you do it that way it’s cool.

PayPal wants their fees, that’s why they don’t like payment as friends and family.
