12 Replies

"Thanks guys!  Love the improvements.  Thanks also for allowing us to post ideas and then making them happen.  It's great to be affiliated with a tour company who reacts the needs of the users instead of throwing out a platform…"

"Just wanted to add a post to this discussion about using Square. I received the dongle for my phone a few days ago and have tried it out. It works great! I've had the opportunity to use Square several times both by tapping in credit cards and…"

"Had a chance to use Square today for the first time. Agent was out of town and wanted to pay me. She gave me her credit card info, and I tapped it into my phone. Within seconds she got an email for receipt and I got an email indicating funds would…"

Shelby Green replied to Mark Miranda's discussion A Question for the Masses Regarding Payment Options
"Mark, You are not off base. I don't think you can afford to work for people you have to chase down. One thing you might try is putting on your invoice that if not paid within 30 days you will charge 9% per month interest. This is something I…"

"Keith, I'm not talking about cash flow. I'm talking about responsible business practices and honoring an agreement to pay someone as promised for a service they performed. I don't have the time or desire to keep reminding them that…"

"Thank you' Mark I am going to check out PayPal. Sounds like you don't have an annual fee like one does with credit card companies. I'll check out those other items as well"

Keith Levine replied to Mark Miranda's discussion A Question for the Masses Regarding Payment Options
"Ah Mark! You are talking about cash Flow! That probably matters more than if joe blow paid. So, if you can keep them admitting they owe you are guaranteed cash in the future and that is what matters. Don't let some loser interfere with your…"

"The terms I used put on my invoices were "due upon receipt." I even had a banner at the bottom in big red letters that said "if payment is not received within 7 days your tour will be deactivated and a $10 reactivation fee will be…"

Jerry R Bridges replied to Mark Miranda's discussion A Question for the Masses Regarding Payment Options
"How about net 7 days and 10% added every 7 days after that. Square is not getting the best of reviews on PFRE. They are new according to the forum, so maybe they will get it all together. PayPal is the way to go. 3% on incoming transactions and…"

Mark Miranda replied to Mark Miranda's discussion A Question for the Masses Regarding Payment Options
"Yeah, I talked about Square above. I just set it up a few days ago and dying to put it into action. I've mentioned it to a few of my clients as a payment option and they just look at me like I'm a little weird. I am, but that's beside…"

"You guys should check out Square, a new mobile payment solution. It's not terribly expensive and it allows you to run credit cards from your mobile phone! I do like the idea of not "releasing" the tour until it's paid for,…"

Mark Miranda replied to Mark Miranda's discussion A Question for the Masses Regarding Payment Options
"Carol, I use PayPal for the electronic payments. It's about 3.5% or close to that. I hate giving up that fee but it's worth it to me to not have to spend time (money) and energy tracking down payments. Once deposited I've got access…"

You Guys Are Awesome!

Every time I turn around I notice that you guys have found yet another way to help us be more productive. I'm very impressed with everything that Alan, Paul and everyone else does to keep us cutting edge. The latest toy? QR codes! I've been researching this off and on for the last couple of months and was just about ready to move forward with getting them created. Well, now I don't have to. They've done it for us! You guys are the BOMB! Keep up the great work, and thank you!
