Overall Satisfaction with PayPal Payments
As a freelance web designer working with clients across the country, PayPal is the easiest way to invoice my clients who want to pay by credit card. For one-time payments, PayPal doesn't even require my clients to have a PayPal account in order to pay the invoice. This is a major plus as it's inconvenient to ask a client to sign up for a new account somewhere. PayPal even handles sending the invoice out.
Pros
- Helps you create invoices, and sends them out.
- Doesn't require that my clients have a PayPal account to pay the invoice.
- Low processing fee for accepting payment via credit card.
- Free funds transfer from PayPal to my bank account.
Cons
- Invoice tool seems outdated compared to the polished look of the main dashboard.
- Setting up recurring payments from clients is not easy and also seems outdated.
- PayPal has made collecting payments quite simple and painless for both me and my clients. In my view, having a smoother interaction with me will increase the likelihood of repeat business from a client.
- Stripe
Stripe certainly has it's place in accepting payments online. However, it's more difficult to setup and to my knowledge isn't geared towards accepting invoice payments.
