My advice, is to not build that in just yet. Say you charge, tell them the price, and take their credit card or money - and put them on a plan. Manually charge

My advice, is to not build that in just yet. Say you charge, tell them the price, and take their credit card or money - and put them on a plan. Manually charge them through Square or whatever the first month or two, then build that portion out as it's required. 37Signals and a whole other slew of companies did just this too - so I'm not crazy.
The real reason to delay it personally, is that you might find their acceptable industry payment is different than you think. They may be used to paying monthly via check, and not do CC's. You never know. But this gives you the ability to charge, AND figure out the correct long term solution.
- monkey_slap 13y agoThis is really great advice. I'll have to talk to potential first customers and maybe even just ask them "how do you want to pay" to see how much of a priority this is to get rolling. Thanks!
- czbond 13y agoI hope it helps. That lesson came from pain in my last B2B company. We built in CC payments into our SaaS - and then found out most companies paid all their vendors monthly via check.
