Whether your business is new or you’re planning to accept credit cards when you’re a little more established. Or you’ve been in business for years and can’t seem to find a good reason you should go changing things now – sticking to traditional forms of payment is tempting for many.
Just imagine – while you’re happily working on your new product design or packing new orders in your comfortable home office, your customer who just placed an order with you is now running out to the nearest bank (hopefully the weather is kind), queuing up for her turn to bank in or deposit cash into your account. After which she would have to send you a copy of the receipt as a proof of record.
Would be nice if she makes the payment immediately after placing the order. But it usually takes a day or two before you finally receive the payment confirmation. Or worse, your customer totally forgot to pay you.
Here are 3 great reasons why you should consider accepting credit cards today:
