For those who are now working virtually – meeting with clients via online platforms, you may be scrambling for practical ideas for getting paid.
The following are a few practical means to accomplish that:
Check in the mail
Ah – the “old-fashioned” way: receiving a check in the mail.
Many individuals have opted for this. It allows for easy tracking of payments for both the client as well as the business owner.
For those used to writing checks and that are not too tech-savy, it is an easy and preferred method to pay.
There are no transaction fees.
Google Pay
Google Pay advertises “no fee for debit or bank transfers.”
Three easy steps for person to pay you: (per instructions on Google Pay)
- Open Google Pay
- At the bottom, tap send.
- Find your contact and follow the instructions.
Visit Google Pay
PayPal
For some, this is a go-to app.
There are transaction charges for using this app. See site.

Website
For most individuals, the coronavirus situation is a temporary situation. You hope to return to normal meetings with clients, but if you wish to go all-out, there are apps that can be put on your website that allow for payments to be made. Consult with your website designer.
These typically have transaction fees associated with their use.
