Simpleā€¦ payment terms, top 3 only.

Cashā€¦ saves u trip to bank
Checkā€¦ bank
CCā€¦ 5%surcharge.
Payment planā€¦ only if you know the client
Barterā€¦

You bill, the client decides.

I do 3 barter orso a year, with my mechanic works best, then it us restaurants.
Most is cash and checks, 2 are CC
And 5 are on payment plans or credit.

How does getting cash save a trip to the bank? You still have to run it thru your business and pay tax on it. Thatā€™s hard to do if you donā€™t deposit it

Easyā€¦ you declare it when you do taxes

Seems complicated keeping it separate, but do what works for you I guess. Just curious.

I apologize if I took what you said the wrong way. Iā€™m not here to argue or take over someone elseā€™s thread. Everybody does what works for them. I was simply trying to state that in certain situations accepting credit cards can be beneficial. I hope everything continues to go well for you and your business. Hopefully before long spring will be here, weā€™ll both be busy and I wonā€™t have a teething 6 month old keeping me awake all night.

Actually you can save the trip to the bank by doing mobile deposit through your bank app, simple as taking two pics of the check

You mean they donā€™t use rewards cards to leverage their purchases?

51

Iā€™m sure they probably do. As I said, I do accept credit cards, I just donā€™t make it known or encourage it, unless someone asks because I donā€™t want to be paying for their rewards.

I offer Paypal and Venmo and have never had a client not be able to one or the other.

ā€œbuy tablets and put them on your data planā€ I think this is a good rout. I have not done that YET but most large and organized businesses seem to have their employees using business owned tablets, not the employees personal phone. To each their own though.

55

Tablets that can access 4g ate ridiculously expensive compared to wifi only tablets.

56

I use these two, and just added cash app as requested by a customer.

Venmo, PayPal, cash app, square, check, cash

57

I use Paypal which takes pretty much everything. Only about 1 out 20 use c/c though. I donā€™t encourage tho, much prefer a check.

Thereā€™s two way to use PayPal. One involves a fee, the other doesnā€™t. Do you pay fees with PayPal?

59

Yes, I carry a swipe or just email them a link.

The swipe is something you got through PayPal?

I have the square swipe but didnā€™t know PayPal had one.
