Payment methods
Hello everyone. I assume some members of this group are freelance or self-employed resume writers. With that being said, I am curious what method(s) you use to get payments from clients. I've been using PayPal exclusively; however, they recently created a MAJOR problem for me and all I'll say is I will not use them anymore. I know there are a variety of other apps to send/receive payments, but so far the ones I've looked at don't have any kind of buyer/seller protection. I'm worried my clients are going to have a problem with any method if there is no way for them to receive a refund if I were just to take their money and do nothing. Of course, I'd never do such a thing but when dealing with clients remotely, who only have my word to go on, I can foresee some problems. So, I am wondering how other people accept (Or if you've hired a professional resume writer, how did you pay?), payments. Please keep in mind, I am a sole proprietor, not a firm. Thanks so much for your help.
Hello! I'm a sole proprietor freelancer myself with a Full Service Resume Writing Company. I mainly use Square right now but also use Stripe, Cash app business account and PayPal. My local clients pay in Cash but the rest mainly pay with Square. I have a referral link if you're interested and you will get 180 days of free processing with them. I'm sorry but haven't memorized the link yet. If you message me on here I will grab the link off the POS app and share it with you. I love Square because I can request a deposit from my remote clients (50%) and the Square appointments app syncs with Google Calendar. I also just put the Square estimates app on my new phone. They also have the Square MasterCard now so you get your funds right away. I hope this information helps. Have a great day and best wishes, Lucinda Kerrigan CPRW
I'm just starting my resume writing business and I use Venmo. It's a PayPal company.
Sadly, PayPal has the market cornered on customer-centered protections and is the only company that will pull funds back from a vendor/merchant account to accommodate a refund request that has not been settled by the vendor.
PayPal ate up their competition early on, leaving them as the sole giant in the industry.
No other free virtual wallet accounts have that level of security built in. It makes using PayPal a sort of necessary evil.
Payments through various electronic wallets and applications are now part of our lives. But for those who are just starting to work with online currency, sometimes it is difficult to understand all this and not to make mistakes with the arrival, sending and withdrawal of money. That's why it's better to check this website and learn more about this very topic. For me for example it helped and now I can give some tips myself.
