Easy way to take payment from a distance?

[Soapsugoii]

So, I have some friends back home and abroad who want to buy my soap as gifts for the holidays. They want to pay me, and there are some who don't feel safe mailing checks and/or have expressed interest in using their debit or credit cards. Is there an easy way to set up taking payments like that?

I have a paypal account, but this is the first time I've ever done anything like this so I'm wondering if there's an easy way to do it.

As a buyer I have found PayPal easy to use., and it can be used with out having an account.

The down side as a seller, there is the fee.

Thanks guys! Paypal it is; I can just email invoices, I found out. Makes me feel much more secure than asking my friends to mail a check. And it kinda makes me feel cool, heh

I had a friend order three dozen bars from me today. Awesome and all, but kinda stressful.

paypal for sure, although I believe you have to confirm your bank account which can take a few days

If you have a Square you do have the option of entering their info manually! I do this alot

You can do that with Propay as well. You can also send them an invoice so you never see their CC info.
