Paypal is pretty universal. I use it in my own (non-coworking)
business and have used it to pay fees at more than coworking space.

If you get set up with a business account on Paypal you can even get a
nice Master Card Debit Card which makes using it a lot more
convenient, and if you or someone in your community is developer-
inclined, integrating into your web site is also straight forward.

It works for me, but, I prefer cash or check since I get to keep the $5
or so that PayPal would get.

We've moved to 100% online payments to make our book keeper happy...much better paper trail, and worth it for the transaction fees.

Mike,

Talk to your accountant, transaction fees can be wriiten-off for tax purposes, at least a portion of them.

We use PayPal through Freshbooks and it works like a dream. Yeah,
paypal takes a cut but we get paid pronto. We use it for regular
invoicing for members and events as well as walk-ins. Since they are
hooked to the wifi we enter newbies in BatchBooks, copy them to
Freshbooks, invoice 'em and then they pay via credit or debit card or
paypal via paypal.
Easy peasy.
Cheers
Todd

PayPal and Quickbooks online both offer invoicing and credit card
processing in real-time. We use PayPal for credit card processing, as
there are no start up fees and is available anywhere the internet is.
We're using Quickbooks online for bookkeeping. We haven't been
convinced PayPal is more expensive for credit card processing to
switch to Quickbooks for everything.

At your service,

Hi guys. Long time listener, first time caller.... I think. My
memory these days...

I want to give a shout out to Authorize.net. They're a great
transaction processor, always process under 3% and have a really
simple API. My company has never had a problem with them. They have
a simple if low tech looking dashboard that has always done everything
I've needed.

Honestly, their rep in the industry is pretty horrible.

If you actually read some of these complaints you'll realize that the
'victims' are idiots and were caught doing something questionable and
stories they post online are clearly one sided. Paypal runs a tight
ship and having been a user since they first opened their doors almost
12 years ago I can attest that I've never had an issue with their
service. If you're unable to secure a merchant account, you shouldn't
be reluctant to use their service.
