The decision is up to you, but it's pretty straightforward to set up credit card processing these days if you have time. Plus, you can even use PayPal for merchant services.
Think about who your customers are. If they are restaurant owners, are they more comfortable with paying through PayPal, giving you their credit card number directly (in person or telephone), or sending you a check?
Let me know if you have any other questions.
- babul 18y agoPayPal are convenient to start with but are too expensive compared to a merchant account or other card processors (protex et al). Also, PayPal offer little or no protection to chargebacks (even blatantly false ones) so I would be wary of using them for higher value items or non-physical services (e.g. subscriptions) that are exempt from its seller protection plan. I am not sure if using FreshBooks (which is an excellent product) will buffer/protect you.
