I prefer PayPal only out of familiarity. I've been using PayPal for invoicing for years. In practice I'll take any form of payment that doesn't cost me much more than PayPal (percentage wise). I recently installed the Cash app for a friend to pay me for some hardware I'd ordered on his behalf. I wound up getting their debit card as another tool to protect my real debit/account numbers when making purchases. Fees seem reasonable even cheaper than PayPal in some respects.

The only big difference I've noticed with Square is the ability for customers to tip. I'm not sure exactly what you're invoicing with PayPal - but that's part of why I use Square. Also, the branding on Square invoices is better I think. PayPal keeps their brand front and center, where Square has a bit more of a customer-brand-centric invoice look.

I'm just invoicing website/computer work. It shows my logo and has ability to add a tip though rarely select the option. I'm happy with it. I do have an ancient Square card reader but do so little in person business that it might get pulled once o twice a year.

If someone owes me "cash", I prefer cash or one of the payment tools that impose no surcharge. For business related activity, they're all within 1% of each other. I prefer Square and have both the stripe reader and the chip/contactless reader.

Maybe PayPal added that feature, or maybe I never found it when I was using it.

I'm a PayPal shareholder... certainly a company I like. For whatever reason I've like the Square experience. But maybe I should circle back.

I can't believe you guys down south aren't all over Interac E-Transfer. Almost all my work this year has been paid that way. I think I've seen one cheque this year. Most banks don't charge a fee for it and when they do it's $1.00 to $2.50 no matter how much you send

Yes and I find this very odd usually it's done in the US a year or more ahead of us. We've been doing it 4 or 5 years up here now

There's Zelle (Zelle (payment service) - Wikipedia - (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelle_(payment_service)) ) which works between participating banks. Many of the major US banks are in on it but it's not universal. ACH transfers are hard to do consumer to consumer for whatever reason you need the routing and account number even then there's no clear way to request money without using a 3rd party.

Why do I get the feeling of Deju Vu? Didn't we have this conversation recently?

Just got paid a TIP by Venmo this morning! :)

It was pending in my bank account this afternoon!

I got to ask how come it wasn't included in the money they paid you? Was it that you got paid all the money before the event and they had to wait to send you a tip through this service?

The head honcho of the company was drinking through out the event, and simply forgot to tip me. The contact at the company emailed me the next morning saying he forgot, and asked if I accept Venmo. I was sent the tip early this morning through Venmo. He said I did a great job. This was the event I was not really deejaying, just running a Spotify PlayList. ...Sometimes it really doesn't take a lot of effort, and playing the right music to pack a dance floor and creating an awesome dance party to be awarded with gratuity, and a happy satisfied client :)
