When selling socially and in general you must consider how you will collect payments online.  When it comes to accepting payments online, it’s important to offer customers a variety of payment options to improve the business transaction and customer satisfaction. 

Payments can be collected by allowing customers to pay using their credit cards online. Another method is through using an online payment gateway and through email invoicing.

More ways to get paid 

Whenever a business integrates invoicing as a part of its account system it allows for payments to be collected in a number of ways, except bank transfers or cash. 

Quick payment collection 

Time is crucial to an online business, no customer wants to spend a lengthy amount of time just to finalize a purchase. Invoice integration as the name suggests allows for a fast generation of invoices. It also allows businesses to generate one-time links shared via WhatsApp, email, or even posted to social media where payments can be made for a product or service. 

Reduces errors

With this system, customers are able to input their own information such as card number, billing address, etc. as a business owner it reduces the risk of you making errors with regards to the customer’s information and ultimately delaying the process of payment collection.
