Now Accepting Credit Cards! (Tips for Doulas)

Until now I’ve taken checks, cash, money orders, or PayPal. Kit suggested it would be handy for me to be able to accept credit cards so this week he set me up with Square. It plugs into my phone and with the handy app I can process credit cards and have the payment deposited right into my account by that evening. There’s a 2.75% processing fee, which is less than other options Kit researched. I’ve had clients pay me using a check from their HSA/FSA but if they don’t have a checkbook for that account and want to use their credit card connected to it then now they can. Or for anyone who finds a credit card is more convenient than checks or cash, I can oblige.
