What do you tell the customer when the call for service? Or rather, how do you tell them they have to pay when you complete the service? I'm trying to figure out how to let the customer know about my pricing and payment options up front. Some customers don't ask about it so I'm not sure how to lead into that topic. If the customer asks, then it's easy.

I never ask for payment directly, I make sure they know the minimum and maximum amount that the service call may cost, and determine their method of payment.

I didnt want to make another thread, but can some one tell me what I need to use that is free on Paypal that will allow me to take credit cards without the client needing a Paypal account? I have setup a paypal business account, but I really do not know what to use .

Thanks in advanced.
