PayPal works, no matter the size of your business
It was a no-brainer for us. We built our website with PayPal’s business solutions in mind.
It was always a frontrunner because it’s secure and people expected to see PayPal as an option when they do online shopping. It’s convenient, reliable, and I trust it. I wanted to give that to my customers as an option.
PayPal alone saves me about 20 hours of admin work a week.
It’s a life saver. Not only do my customers love paying through PayPal (about 55% of my clients pay this way) but frankly, I wouldn’t be able to run my business without it... It gives me an easy way to track how my money comes in, do my bookkeeping, and send invoices. It’s not just about having the right team, but it’s about having the right technology to keep all of this sustainable in the long term.
