New freelancer help
-
I have recently switched to working from home full time after spending the last fifteen years up to my elbows in sawdust. I am happy to have made the switch. I have managed to stay somewhat busy, but could always use a few more steady customers. I have recently come across more people looking to pay with credit cards. I have looked into it a little, but there is so many options. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use PayPal to take credit cards. PayPal charges something like 3% of the transaction, but I think that's pretty standard (might be wrong tho!)
I they are paying you in person, I'd recommend Square for your Android or iOS device: https://squareup.com/

Thanks d12dozr, I use paypal all the time and for whatever reason, I hadn't even considered it. I think I will try and go that route.

I use paypal in these situations as well... I also use Freshbooks.com for my billing, etc and they'll integrate paypal into your invoices.

d12dozr (marcus) did some work for me and sent me an invoice via paypal which made the process VERY simple. I think that "making easy" will always help you get paid!!

Thanks everyone. I had already used paypal a few times for invoicing, but hadn't realized until looking into it further that you didn't need to have a paypal acct. to pay. This seems like an easier method than waiting weeks for a check to arrive.
