I use Paypal to receive payments all the time, and have never had a problem with it. As a freelance programmer, it just makes things so much easier. Also, if you get the debit card, then it makes it even easier to spend the money that you earn, allowing you to buy what you need for the business.

I know a lot of people report issues with Paypal, as far as chargebacks, etc, but if you’re careful about who you deal with, then it can be awesome. You still have to be careful anyway. Paypal tends to favor the buyer, over the seller.

personally I would pick 2checkout.com instead of paypal. Using paypal can danger your money since anyone can raise a dispute, which make your paypal account frozen by the vendor.

I like the free cart service from Mal’s, which is easy to set up and use, but many others are available, like Virtual Cart.

- That is the best advice I have seen so far. thanks

I have been involved in the payment processing industry for over 4 years now in Canada, working closely with small business owners and I found that there can be a lot of miss leading information on the internet for people, particularly for Canadians.

I do think PayPal is a great starting point for someone who is testing a site out or only processing a few transactions a month, but anyone building a serious business will require ‘true merchant accounts’ for their business. 2Checkout is also good, but their rates are vary high if you plan on having a substantial business volume. The higher your business volume the more important capturing a low discount rate will matter.

Regardless, accepting credit cards is a good thing and will help just about any business make more sales - so if you are not currently accepting some type of credit card processing then paypal might a good place to get your feet wet, since their is no contracts, etc.

If anyone is looking for quality information on how to set-up Canadian Merchant Accounts and payment processing services click here.

Thanks Tara for the blog post and getting the conversation moving forward on this topic!

I recently have had some credit problems. I liked my credit cards waaay too much. I think the best thing you can do to recover is to allow yourself enough time to straighten everything all out. Nothing happens overnight, especially fixing a credit score.

VCC aren’t the best pick and many are fake and if you use them to store your money you will lose everything.
