  curious how many of you - if any - accept credit cards for design services?

  i know the fees are brutal so never considered it (unless doing merch), but have had a couple requests recently. sign of the times maybe?

  Ask them to use Paypal or Google checkout via their credit card.

    I use google checkout. No problems, though the fees a little high. In your bank account in 2 days.– epigraph2/2

  we take cc. for us it makes the bookkeeping a lot easier- although the bank gives out free cookies, so it's nice to deposit checks too...

  dunno if it's just me, but I REALLY hate going down the Paypal route... I know its standard nowadays but still seems so unprofessional to suggest to a client.

  when working with small to medium businesses it is normally credit card. when i work with corporations, its a check /purchase order.

  you're not going to escape the processing fee. i found that at some point its better to use your bank merchant services rather than the paypal/ online merchant services. takes out a step/ fee in the process.

  • what fee? chase charge to use their services.– brodyR
