Hello,<p>I've started doing consultancy for a living, and one of my clients expressed interest in me accepting credit card payments. Do you accept credit card payments? What has your experience been like<p>- J

Short answer yes. We make it a point to add the processing fees to the client's invoice. Since we use Stripe its 2.9% + 30¢.<p>There's a bunch of different ways to invoice your client with a credit card option. The two we've used are our accounting software <a href="https://www.xero.com/and" rel="nofollow">https://www.xero.com/and</a> one time invoice with <a href="https://slimvoice.co/" rel="nofollow">https://slimvoice.co/</a> (which as an additional $1 to the fees).
Most of my clients pay via credit card (really Xero invoice + Stripe integration) unless they happen to be in my city. No complaints and I usually prefer it anyway versus dealing with cheques and wire transfers even with the Stripe fee.
