Guide
Choose the right payment methods to accept
Offer enough ways to pay that nothing gets in the way of the money actually arriving.
Start with card payments
Cards are the most familiar option for most customers and typically the fastest to set up through a payment processor.
Add bank transfer for larger amounts
For bigger invoices, direct bank transfer usually carries lower fees than card processing and is standard practice between businesses.
Consider a payment link or online checkout
A simple link that lets a client pay in a couple of clicks reduces delay compared to asking them to manually key in bank details.
Compare processing fees before committing
Fees vary by provider and payment type. For a business handling a high volume of small payments, even a small percentage difference adds up quickly.
That’s the whole thing.
