My small design and development gig, Boston Web Studio, has been creating websites for small-business owners since January, 2005. In the three years that have passed, I’ve never once been asked if I can take a credit card for payment on an invoice I’ve sent to a client. It has always been a check or cash transaction and I’ve given little thought to receiving any other form of payment. Last month, however, three separate clients asked me whether or not I could take a credit card. I had to answer “No,” but I told each of them that I would make it possible, and soon. In my opinion, making it easier for a client to pay you money owed is never a bad thing.

Sounds like it would be easier and certainly more reliable to drive over to the customer and pick up the cash face-to-face. Salem, Mass to e.g. Seattle and back, five days tops!

I like Google...it doesn't take out as much as people don't have to sign up.
