Chase Quick Pay rules! It's a PayPal type setup without the fees (you have probably seen the commercials on tv) - the only catch is at least one of you (you or your client) has to have a Chase bank checking account.

I prefer direct bank deposit although I also accepted PayPal via my Freshbooks account.

Due to the nature of my work, a lot of my money comes in cash that I deposit myself but otherwise I prefer direct transfers to my account even though Paypal is a great alternative.

I like the IPN. Fees are only .50 no matter how much is being processed. And it goes directly into my bank account. Paypals fees are entirely too expensive. And if i ever use it again i will have the payer pay the fees. Checks are good too but through snail mail it takes some time.....

My estimate and invoice come with my bank details in the footer so clients can transfer 50% of my fee to my bank account and the balance upon completion.

I use square as well, I don't love the fees but it's the cost of doing business, and like everyone else said it's tax deductible. I have also used Google Checkout from time to time but the fee is about the same as Square and I find that with Square funds are in my account within 24-48 hours but with Google Checkout it takes about a week.

Chase quick pay doesnt require a chase account; only an email address. But if you have a checking account with chase and the other person has a checking account with someone else, quick pay wont work. i just checked. think id rather pay the fees.

@Lezly, I've always been wary of checks in case they bounce. Have you ever had issues yourself (if that question isn't too nosey for you)?
