[Hidden-tech] Solution Needed - Specialized Acceptance of Credit Cards

[Sarah Meikle]

An additional note... I send paypal invoices all the time and just
encourage my customers to pay using their paypal account (which can be
linked to their credit card or bank account.)  If they are a paypal
customer there is no fee.  If my customers prefer not to pay using paypal
(or send a check), I pass on the fees to them.

Just a thought.

Kind regards
Sarah


Kind regards
