We all agree: you’ve got to get paid for your work. You can’t allow clients to skip out on their bills.
Luckily, our CPA websites have an Online Credit Card option, which means your clients pay their bills right on your site.
You save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars when you take advantage of online credit card processing.
But which credit card processor? The right choice makes a difference in how much you save.
Which credit card processor you need depends on your monthly usage.

PayPal or Capital Payments?
Our CPA websites offer you a choice of two credit card processors: PayPal or Capital Payments.
Here’s a quick look at the plans:
PayPal = 1 or 2 transactions/month

To get the lowest credit card fees, follow these steps:
1. Evaluate your needs. Do you have a busy firm with a high percentage of Web-savvy clients – or a smaller firm with a more traditional clientele?
2. If your clients will pay by credit card only once or twice a month, choose PayPal.
3. If you think you’ll process 3 or more credit card payments per month, you want Capital Payments.
Getting Paid On Time, Every Time
Whichever company is right for you, accepting credit card payments online means you get paid on time, every time.
In fact, between paying low processing fees, avoiding bad debt, and saving on collection costs – you save at least $1,000/year.
Both PayPal and Capital Payments accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express – so your clients enjoy the convenience as well.
