Hello. Someone that I sent money to had a great idea. On paypal they ask you if this money is a gift or if it is for items purchased. She told me that if you say the money is a gift, there are no fees. You must use a bank account and not a debit or credit card. If you use a debit or credit card with the gift option, there will be fees.

Well, that's great except it's not the truth...! So I would not recommend this option. Honesty is a very good value to have for your business.

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.

Re: How do you prefer to be paid?
I'll take payment any way my clients want to pay me. LOL Most of my clients send me a check. Since they're local, it doesn't take long. A few of my clients do direct deposit (actually I do it myself since I handle their payroll and I just pay myself.)
Interesting thing happened today. One of my new payroll clients told me she doesn't want to pay me monthly and asked if I'd take it all up front for the year. I gave her a small discount and she handed me a nice big check. That was nice!
Hello to everyone from Argentina! Here we do not have many options, specially with international clients. PayPal is the best choice, in spite of the fees. My local clients just bank wire my fees every month. Way to go, Stacey! Congratulations!
