What do you use for web payments?

[ell]

Hi, I currently have been using a simple paypal link to accept payments, but I have a client with a lawn care business that would like to start accepting web payments also. I'm looking for one that has low cost and the customer is required to enter a invoice number the paypal one doesn't seem to have this option and they don't seem to like paypal. They will be emailing out monthly pdf invoices. Thanks for your input!

I use PayPal but with a Mhelpdesk front page. I doubt you will find a payment processor that does this directly. You will probably want to look into a third party solution that ties back into the payment processor.

Ok your requirements don't make sense. Paypal has invoices that you can email clients and I think Quickbooks online also allows you to accept via paypal.

Of course if they are going to be doing lots of CC sales then you need to get a real merchant account. Paypal fees will kill you.

For a lawn service even mHelpDesk would be useful as you have tickets and invoicing built in to the system.

Look into stripe for the payment processor and have someone do a payment system.

I use Authorize.net and Paypal.

Stripe would be a good solution... the hard part would be doing the coding (or getting someone to do it for you) to integrate it into the website. But it will handle automatic billing and all that for you, so it would be good for the landscaping company with recurring monthly customers.

I don't do a lot of CC charges so squareup.com has been great.

PayPal is great if you have a merchant account. I just generate the invoices on there, and send them to the customers email addresses. In the notes field I mention that they can simply print the invoice and send a check if they so choose.

Only drawback is that the items on the invoice aren't itemized when you download it into Quickbooks. Which sucks if you need to charge sales tax and want to break it out in a QB report.

It's fine for a business like mine which has a few invoices for large amounts, but will quickly become a hassle if you have lots of invoices for smaller amounts.
